For all of those guitarists that want more from their amplifier but are not prepared to sacrifice tone or that undeniable Marshall Amplification build quality, the MG15 FX delivers.
In addition to the superior MG sound the MG15FX (and MG30FX) offers a fully programmable feature set utilising digitally controlled analogue functions for precise adjustment to your sound. For each mode you can individually store your preferred setting by simply adjusting the front panel controls to your desired positions and then pressing the store button. For those people want to access their settings using a foot controller in true guitar legend fashion the MG15FX (and MG30FX) is compatible with the revolutionary STOMPWARE® enabled foot controller (sold separately) which utilises the exclusive Marshall Amplification patented switching technology for seamless changes. The foot controller also provides access to the onboard tuner feature in the amplifier which means you can tune up quickly and accurately without having to carry any separate pedals or hand held equipment with you.
Every single amplifier in the range is built to ensure the best quality in tone and what is more every tone inside the new MG is a Marshall tone ensuring you have access to only the best in clean crunch and overdrive sounds. Advances in design have allowed the MG to become more organic and responsive in its tone delivery and through careful design the sound achieved from every MG is more lively, more controlled and more importantly the best ever MG tone yet.
The biggest advance in the way MG provides amplification to the guitarist is in its functionality. Using the tried and tested design principles that are the only way of delivering the best tone, MG also utilises digital controls. Using this foundation the MG achieves not only the best possible sound set but delivers it through the most flexible interface possible putting the guitarist back in control of their sound.
The MG comes with shop presets for each of the tones allowing the guitarist to simply pick a style and play away. Additionally for amplifier purists the amplifier can be placed into manual mode which will allow all of the controls on the front panel to represent exactly the settings on the front panel. Marshall recognise that having presets can be great but ultimately an amplifier is an extension of the guitarists expression, by allowing programmable models (MG15FX and above) to be fully reprogrammed.
MG has inbuilt the revolutionary Marshall designed Stompware technology which was originally designed for the flagship JVM range. Using only a guitar cable an MG in conjunction an MG 4 way foot controller enables Marshall’s STOMPWARE® technology allowing the user to programme their preferred settings using the foot controller. Settings are remembered in the amplifier allowing the guitarist to return again and again to their preferred sounds.
Every emphasis on the new MG is centred on delivering the quality of tone and playability expected from a Marshall Amp ensuring that from the bedroom to the stage the new MG delivers time and again to the expectations of the guitarist.
As technology advances so too the way people use amplifiers has developed. In place of the ¼ headphones and line in sockets the new MG range has 3.5mm jack sockets opening up greater possibilities to the guitarist. By using your headphones from your portable mp3 or CD player you can play an MG to your hearts content without disturbing anyone and by utilising the 3.5mm line in you can play along to your chosen tracks making the MG a perfect practice tool.
Frequency dependant damping has been integrated into every amplifiers circuitry as standard allowing a depth of tone and feeling to the amps sound which is offered in no other amplifier in its class. On larger models such as the 50w and 100w amplifiers an additional damping function has been added so that the user can control the amplifier further providing the ability for the guitarist to really define how they want their sound.
What’s Inside
Unlike previous generations the new MG from Marshall offers a host of new features and functions. Utilising innovative new technology and incorporating Marshall STOMPWARE® the MG offers the highest quality tone in the most flexible format meaning that the guitarist never has to compromise.
Full analogue tone circuits provide the best in high quality amplifier tone, pure organic flexibility. Utilising digitally controlled analogue functions the MG also delivers precise control and superlative flexibility without masking your guitars own sound or making your tone sound processed and artificial.
A frequency dependant damping circuit has been designed into every unit in the range. This means that the sound every MG can achieve mimics the same interaction between amplifier and speaker that occurs in Marshall's professional valve amplification making the amplifier sound and feel alive.
Every MG is built to the highest specification and components have been carefully selected to ensure that every unit exceeds the capabilities and qualities that can only be expected from a Marshall product.

A Mighty Atom!

As an owner of some fairly high-end gear I get annoyed when people turn their noses up at things that are kinder to the wallet.
I had one of these and stupidly traded it on for something worth more money.... Note I never said better...
So now I have been reunited with my long lost love of home practice amps!
The MG15FX is simple to use, easy to dial in for a variety of tones and has a decent gain channel (for biting overdrive without waking the kids up/breaking my headphones). You can get some decent heavy tones out of this little beast through the versatility of the amp itself, and there is even a fair bit of headroom if you want to annoy the neighbours.
The FX, whilst somewhat limited, are still a lot of fun to use and sound pretty close to the more expensive boutique pedals.
Forget amp snobbery as if it is affordable but decent tone you want then look no further than this baby grandchild of Jim Marshall THE FATHER OF LOUD!!!

Good starter amp

This is a great starter amp for practising and quiet rehearsals and the effects feature is a great bonus. Not ideal for gigging but the tone of the amp is great both clean and distortion. Recommended for a beginner in guitar!
