From Jim Marshall

I would like to thank you personally for selecting

one of our new 15 Watt, MG combos – the

MG15CD, the MG15CDR or the MG15DFX.

As a musician myself I fully understand the

necessity of achieving the right tone and feel to help

inspire musicians to reach their full creative potential

– be they aspiring beginners or more skilled players.

With this in mind I set my experienced R&D team

the task of designing a new range of affordable MG

amplifiers that truly captured the essence of the

Marshall sound.

Utilising new technologies, some of which were developed for our critically acclaimed AVT range,

the new MG Series raises the standard for what can be expected from a value-for-money range of

guitar amplifiers and defines a new benchmark. For example, the power amp section of your MG15

combo boasts FDD (Frequency Dependant Damping) – a radical new feature that is exclusive to

Marshall Amplification and accurately mimics the way an all-valve amplifier interacts with a

loudspeaker. As a result of FDD, your new MG15 will give you a sound never before thought possible

in such an affordable, non-valve amp.

Two of these three units also feature built-in effects – the MG15CDR boasts a natural sounding

spring reverb, while the MG15DFX houses specially designed Digital Effects (DFX).

The DFX featured in the MG15DFX are custom voiced by our own in-house design team. Each one

of the four effects on offer (Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Flange) have been designed to give you the

true warmth and feel of analogue effects, but in a highly flexible digital format. Furthermore, a wide

range of variations for each effect are literally at your fingertips – merely tweaking the two digital

effects controls on the front panel will give rise to sounds that range from subtle to radical, while

always remaining both natural and musical.

Like all the amplifiers in my new MG range, the MG15 was completely designed and engineered in

the UK and the most rigorous quality control procedures ensure that it meets the standard of build

you have come to expect from all Marshall products.

Whether the MG15 is your first ever Marshall or is the latest addition to your arsenal of amps, the

tone, flexibility and feel of this compact, rugged combo will deliver the goods – from bedroom to

backstage!

I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the family…

Yours Sincerely,

1. INPUT jack

Use a good quality (screened) guitar cable to

plug your guitar in here.

2. Clean VOLUME control

When the OD Select switch is ‘out’, this

control adjusts the volume of the Clean

Channel. At low settings the sound will be very

clean with a bell-like ring. Turning this control

above half way will introduce a desirable,

bluesy distortion as the power amplifier is

driven into ‘crunch mode’.

3. OD (Overdrive) SELECT switch

Depressing the Overdrive Select Switch will

engage the Overdrive Channel.

4. Overdrive GAIN control

Turning up the Overdrive Gain Control will

increase the amount of distortion generated in

the Overdrive channel. Low gain settings will

produce classic rock and blues tones. Crank

the Gain for fat and aggressive sounds that are

perfect for soloing or hard rock and nu-metal

riffing.

5. Overdrive VOLUME control

Amazingly enough, this control adjusts the

volume of the Overdrive channel! The louder

this channel is set, the ‘looser’ the amplifier will

sound and feel. This behaviour is exactly what

a good all-valve amplifier does and is a result

of our proprietary FDD circuitry.

6. EQ BASS control

This control affects the bass or bottom end of

your sound. Increasing the bass control will add

warmth to your clean and balls to your

overdrive tones.

7. EQ CONTOUR control

This highly effective tone control works by

radically modifying the mid-range (body). The

tone can range from traditional and woody

sounding (setting at 10), to balls-to-the-wall

(setting at midway), to aggressive, ‘scooped’

and modern (setting at 0)…and all points in-

between.

8. EQ TREBLE control

This control affects the treble or top end of

your sound. Increasing the amount of treble will

give a glassy edge to your clean sounds and

increase the definition on low gain overdrive or

the amount of aggressive ‘fizz’ and ‘cut’ on high

gain tones.

9. FDD (Frequency Dependant

Damping) Switch

Marshall’s proprietary FDD circuit accurately

mimics the way an all-valve amplifier interacts

with the loudspeaker and adds a width and

depth to your sound which has been

unachievable in an affordable solid-state

amplifier…until now!

10. CD IN & EMULATED LINE OUT

jack

The MG15’s cleverly combine the Line Out

and CD Input functions. If you want to jam to

your favourite CD or tape, merely connect the

headphone output of your CD or tape player

here, adjust the CD / TAPE player’s volume to

match that of your guitar and ‘hey-presto’ –

you’ve got the perfect ‘play-along’ practice

system. Alternatively, you can use this socket

to connect the MG15 to your multi-track

recording machine and you’ll get a great

speaker emulated guitar sound direct to disk or

tape.

HELPFUL HINT: for ‘silent’ recording merely

plug an unconnected jack plug into the

headphone socket and you’ll disconnect the

MG15’s internal speaker.

11. EMULATED HEADPHONES jack

Plug your headphones here for a killer

speaker emulated sound! Doing this mutes

your MG15’s internal speaker for ‘silent’

practice.

12. POWER Switch & LED

The power switch turns your amplifier on and

off. The LED will be lit when your amplifier is on

and will not be lit when the amplifier is switched

off.

Note: Before connecting to the mains

electricity supply, always ensure that your

electricity supply is compatible with your

amplifier, as detailed on the rear panel.

Please ensure the amplifier is switched off

and unplugged from the mains electricity

supply before being moved.

13. Reverb LEVEL control

(MG15CDR only)

Increasing the Reverb Level control will mix

more of the naturally voiced spring reverb

signal into your sound – as you’ll find, you can

go from subtle to surf at the mere twist of this

control!

MG15 Hbk multi 230V 1/3/02 9:55 am Page 4

Reverb (RVB)

Effect Description

Parameter

(adjustment*)

Reverb Decay Time

(from short to long) A natural sounding Reverb that never sounds

harsh or grainy. Short Reverb times produce a

plate type effect while longer Reverb times

produce much larger sounding hall-type effects.

Delay (DLY) Delay Time

(from short to long) Short Delay Times will automatically have less

repeats for groovy surf tones. Increasing the Delay

Time automatically increases the number of

repeats for a much more atmospheric effect.

Chorus (CHR) Speed

(from slow to fast) At slow Speeds a mellow phase-like sweep

occurs. As the Speed is increased a more

traditional chorus effect is heard. At maximum

Speed, a psychedelic vibrato results.

Flange (FLG) Speed

(from slow to fast) At slow Speed settings the amount of

regeneration is automatically increased for huge

‘jet engine-like’ sweeps. As the speed is increased

the regeneration decreases to produce a lush,

natural sounding flange effect. When the Speed is

maxed out, a fast vibrato results.

14. Digital FX PRESET / ADJUST control (MG15DFX only)

This control serves a dual purpose. Not only does it allow you to select one of the four types of

effects on offer (Reverb (RVB), Delay (DLY), Chorus (CHR) or Flange (FLG)), it also allows you to

change a parameter as you sweep it through each of the four effect segments. The parameter you

can adjust for each of the four effects is shown below:

*as you turn the control clockwise through the segment dedicated to that effect

15. Digital FX LEVEL control (MG15DFX only)

This controls how much of the chosen effect gets mixed in with your unaffected (dry) guitar tone.

Want to hear more of the DFX you’ve just dialled in? Then simply turn this up!
