Marshall MG10 User's Manual

1. 0 in a small box but it does do a fairly convincing impression The clean channel is bright crisp and generally neutral though the sound does colour slightly at the extreme ends of the tone dial mushy at one end somewhat glassy at the other Of course most buyers of this amp will want that Marshall rock thang and punching into the overdrive channel gets the full range of distorted sounds from edgy to crunchy to manically fuzzy As with the tone control the extreme ends of the gain dial are perhaps the least satisfying but the MG10 can do every voice from Angus Young to Amen Still at the end of the day we are talking about a small tranny amp here and that is what the MG sounds like However it s a good small tranny amp and it definitely has that Marshall vibe There is still a hint of fizzy reedy transistors but it s a world away from a wasp in a jar 69 Marshall 01908 3754112. A small box with a big name to live up to Simon Weir Marshall METO hen you think about it the fact that Marshall s biggest selling amp is also its smallest should come as no surprise Budding guitarists have been plugged into a 10W Marshall in their bedrooms for years pretending to be Jimmy Page or Hendrix just with a smaller rig and learning brand loyalty along with their first riffs Thus revamping the 10W amp turning L plate guitarists into Marshall for life users is a serious undertaking for the Bletchley firm Now 10W practice amps have a reputation of their own wasps and jam jars come to mind so how does the little MG live up to the big valve stuffed Marshall heritage The realities of sonic engineering mean that a general purpose 6 speaker of the type used in all low cost practice amps can never perform like a 12 Celestion designed specifically for amplifying guitars Which is a problem Marshall has tackled this with what it calls FDD frequency dependent damping which is basically a species of speaker emulation Instead of playing the speaker in this little combo directly you play the amp which then emulates a big guitar speaker and the smaller speaker puts out this bigger speaker s sound Very clever and it means you get a speaker emulated line out as standard That socket also doubles as a CD in for playing along with your heroes Plugging in it s clear that this is not a JCM80
