1. Input Jack Socket  
11. FX Control  
Jack input for your guitar. Use a good quality guitar  
cable (i.e. one that’s screened/shielded) to help prevent  
noise, interference and unwanted feedback.  
Selects and adjusts one of four effects - Chorus,  
Phaser, Flanger & Delay.  
I would personally like to congratulate you on your purchase of this  
next-generation Marshall MG amplifier.  
12. Store Switch  
As a musician myself, I fully understand what it takes to perform live in  
a band situation. In addition to talent, dedication and a lot of hard work,  
you also need equipment that does exactly what you ask of it. Over the  
years I have witnessed many advances in amplifier technology and I  
wanted this MG series to take full advantage of such innovations.  
These solid-state amplifiers had to meet the tonal expectations of the  
modern guitarist whilst also incorporating new and exciting digital  
technology. With this goal firmly in mind, I set my experienced R&D  
team the task of designing a new range of affordable MG amplifiers that  
would not only produce the tone you’re looking for, but also offer an  
intuitive and totally programmable way of customising, storing and  
accessing your favourite Marshall tones and features.  
2. Gain Control  
Stores the current amp settings into the current channel  
or into the optional footcontroller. When in manual mode  
the Store button lights red.  
Controls the amount of signal entering the pre-amp and  
the amount of distortion created in the selected channel.  
3. Clean : Crunch Switch  
13. Master Control  
Selects between Clean (green) and Crunch (red) channels.  
Controls the master volume of the amplifier.  
4. Bass Control  
14. MP3 Line In Socket  
Turning up the Bass control will add warmth and low-  
end depth to your sound.  
Jam to your favourite MP3, CD or tape track by  
connecting the line out or headphone output of your  
player here. Adjust the volume of your player to match  
that of your guitar and you’ve got the perfect ‘play-  
along’ practice system.  
5. OD Switch  
Selects between OD1 (green) and OD2 (red) channels.  
Like all the amplifiers in the new MG range, state-of-the-art  
manufacturing and stringent quality control procedures ensure that  
these amplifiers meet the high standard of build you have come to  
expect from all Marshall products.  
6. Middle Control  
15. Footcontroller Socket  
Adjusting the middle frequencies will vary the amount of  
body in your sound.  
¼" Jack socket for the connection of the optional  
footcontroller (PEDL-90008) - see page 8.  
Whether this is your first ever Marshall, or is the latest addition to your  
arsenal of amps, the tone, flexibility and feel of these compact, rugged  
units is guaranteed to deliver the goods – from bedroom, to backstage,  
to on stage!  
7. Treble Control  
16. Headphones Socket  
Increasing the Treble will make your sounds brighter  
and more cutting, turning it down will decrease your  
tone’s edge and make it sound softer as a result.  
For use when silent practice is the order of the day.  
Connection of headphones will automatically mute the  
internal speaker.  
I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the  
family...  
8. Reverb Control  
17. Power Switch  
This control lets you add a lush reverb to the selected  
channel, from a subtle hint to cavernous and all points  
in-between.  
The power switch turns your amplifier on and off. A  
channel switch will light up when your amplifier is turned  
on and none will be lit when the amplifier is switched off.  
Yours Sincerely,  
9. Volume Control  
Note: The specific mains input voltage rating that your  
amplifier has been built for is shown on the back panel.  
Before connecting to the mains electricity supply,  
always ensure that your amplifier is compatible with  
your electricity supply. If you have any doubt, please get  
advice from a qualified technician. Your Marshall dealer  
will help you in this respect.  
Controls the volume of the selected channel.  
10. Tap (Manual) Switch  
Matches the delay FX time to the time between two  
pushes. The LED flashes at the selected delay time.  
Holding down the Tap switch for longer than 2 seconds  
switches the amp between manual and preset mode (pg 2).  
When using the optional footcontroller, holding both the  
Tap switch and the Store switch will activate the tuner.  
Dr. Jim Marshall OBE

MG50FX  
Additionally the Headphones socket (18) can also be  
used as a Line Out to send the signal to an external  
equipment e.g. A computer, digital recorder or mixer.  
When a jack is inserted into the socket the unit’s  
speaker is muted providing ‘silent recording’. The unit’s  
output can then be monitored directly from the external  
equipment used.  
The single Loudspeaker socket (22) is used to connect  
either the internal speaker or an external speaker  
cabinet to the unit’s power amp. When using external  
cabinets ensure the total load impedance is equal to, or  
exceeds, 8 ohms.  
Pressing the OD switch (5) selects between the OD1  
(Green Light) and OD2 (Red Light) channels.  
Reverb  
The Reverb control sets the amount of signal sent to  
the reverb section - allowing the reverb to spill between  
channels as different presets are recalled. The Rev  
switch (8) switches the reverb effect on and off, the  
status of the reverb is also indicated on the  
footcontroller.  
When moving from an OD channel to a Clean/Crunch  
channel, the unit remembers the last channel you were  
in before leaving. E.g. If you have moved from the  
Crunch Channel to an OD channel and you press the  
Clean/Crunch switch (3), the amplifier will revert back to  
the Crunch channel - rather than starting again in the  
Clean channel.  
MG100FX 1x12" & 2x12" Combos

either the internal speaker or an external speaker  
cabinet to the unit’s power amp. When using external  
cabinets ensure the total load impedance is equal to, or  
exceeds, 4 ohms.  
Damping  
The Damping switch (17) selects between the two  
modes of power amp damping. When Damping is off  
(LED off), the power amp response resembles the feel  
of a classic power amp with emphasized middle and  
limited bass and treble. Switching Damping on (LED on)  
will boost the speaker resonances both in the bass and  
high frequency ranges.  
FX  
The FX section consists of two effects, Delay and  
Modulation. The FX section can be globally turned on  
and off via the FX switch (11).  
Modes  
MG100HFX Head  
The amplifier operates in two modes - Preset and
