From Jim Marshall

I would like to thank you personally for selecting

the new 15 Watt, MG15MSII Microstack.

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

MG15MSII 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 MG15MSII will give you a sound never before thought

possible in such an affordable, non-valve amp.

Like all the amplifiers in my new MG range, the MG15MSII 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 MG15MSII is your first ever Marshall or is the latest addition to your arsenal of amps,

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

to backstage!

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

Yours Sincerely,

WARNING! - Important safety instructions

WARNING: This apparatus must be earthed!

A. PLEASE read this instruction manual carefully before switching on.

B. ALWAYS use the supplied mains lead, if a replacement is required please contact your

authorised Marshall Dealer.

C. NEVER attempt to bypass the fuses or fit ones of the incorrect value.

D. DO NOT attempt to remove the amplifier chassis, there are no user serviceable parts.

E. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the

power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the

apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally

or has been dropped.

F. NEVER use an amplifier in damp or wet conditions. No objects filled with liquids should be placed

on the apparatus. When cleaning, only use a dry cloth.

G. ALWAYS unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or if unused for long periods of time.

H. PROTECT the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,

convenience receptacles and at the point where they exit from the apparatus.

I. DO NOT switch the amplifier on without the loudspeakers connected.

➲

CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for

compliance may void the users authority to operate the equipment.

➲

Note: It is recommended that all audio cables,

with the exception of the speaker lead(s),

used to

connect to the MG15MSII are of a high quality screened type.

These should not exceed 10 metres in length.

Always u

se a non-screened Mars

hall approved speaker lead when connecting an extension cabinet to

the MG15MSII.

➲ WARNING: Always ensure free movement of air around the amplifier!

USA ONLY - DO NOT defeat the purpose of the polarised or grounding type plug. A polarised

plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a

third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. When the

provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Follow all instructions and heed all warnings

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS !

MG15MSII Hbk multi 120V 1/7/02 9:21 am Page 2

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. Reverb LEVEL control

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!

10. 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!

11. CD IN & EMULATED LINE OUT

jack

The MG15MSII 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 MG15MSII to your multi-track

recording machine and you’ll get a great

speaker emulated guitar sound direct to disk or

tape.

1. MAINS INPUT Connector

The MG amplifier is provided with a detachable

mains (power) lead which is connected here.

The specific mains input voltage rating that your

amplifier requires is clearly indicated on the

back panel. Before connecting to the mains for

the first time please make sure that your

amplifier is compatible with your electricity

supply.

2. LOUDSPEAKER Outputs

Connect the two loudspeaker cabinets

provided to the speaker outputs using the

speaker leads supplied.

If you would like to use your MG15MSII

amplifier head with another speaker system

(such as a full size 4 x 12" cabinet), ensure that

the amplifier is provided with a total load equal

to or greater than 8 ohms.

Always use a non-screened Marshall

approved speaker lead when connecting an

extension cabinet to these units.

HELPFUL HINT: for ‘silent’ recording merely

plug an unconnected jack plug into the

headphone socket and you’ll disconnect the

MG15MSII speaker cabinets.

Plug your headphones here for a killer

speaker emulated sound! Doing this mutes

your MG15MSII speaker cabinets for ‘silent’

practice.

13. 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

amplifier is compatible with your electricity

supply, as detailed on the rear panel.

Please ensure the amplifier is switched off

and unplugged from the mains electricity

supply before being moved.
