Amplification is now shipping the MG2FX

Micro Stack Guitar Amplifier.
About
the MG2FX Mini Guitar Amplifier
The MG2FX offers a user-friendly interface consisting of four dual-function
knobs (augmented by a Tap/Shift button and a single-character LED
display) to provide instant access to ten distinct gain stage settings,
five digital effects, a two-band EQ and a tuner. For the ultimate
in mobility, the MG2FX can run on battery power (via six “C”
cells), and also includes an AC adapter for use in the home or any
place power is available. The Gain and Volume knobs – along
with the ten-position Mode knob – provide popular tone flavors,
including a shimmering clean tone, the famous Marshall “Crunch,”
and all the overdrive needed for an over-the-top lead. The Treble
and Bass knobs offer further tone tweaking. Digital Reverb and Delay
are built-in, with an intuitive “Tap” button for setting
the delay time (holding down the Tap/Shift button also activates the
onboard tuner). In addition, a Chorus, Phasing or Flanging effect
can provide extra downstream sparkle to the sound. The MG2FX includes
an MP3/line input for jamming along to any audio source. The headphone
output allows for private practice, and also serves as a line output
for recording or for connection to a larger sound system. The 6.5"
speaker is powered with two Marshall-sized Watts for true rock sound.
About
the MG15FXMS Micro Stack Guitar Amplifier
The three-piece MG15FXMS Micro Stack includes a 15-Watt compact head
plus two matching speaker cabinets – one angled, one straight.
Each cabinet is loaded with a full-range 10" speaker. In addition
to being highly transportable, the MG15FXMS also allows many entry
level and budget conscious players to enjoy the look, feel and classic
tone of the iconic Marshall Stack. Preserving the best features of
the MG4 series, the MG15FXMS provides a three-band EQ section and
features four programmable channels – Clean, Crunch, Overdrive1,
and Overdrive2 – to provide a wide range of tone colors from
a single amplifier. The Gain, EQ, Volume and Master Volume knobs are
presented in Marshall's tried-and-true layout for extreme ease of
use. Push-button channel switching offers smooth, silent transitions.
Digital Reverb is built-in, along with a full complement of Digital
Effects – Chorus, Phaser, Flanger and Delay. The Delay time
can be set using the Tap button on the front panel, and the Effects
are programmable to match each channel.
The
MG15FXMS Micro Stack provides a versatile array of inputs and outputs.
The Line Input allows players to jam along with an MP3 player, CD
player or other source. The combination Line Out / Headphone Out features
speaker cabinet emulation, so the full Marshall sound is always preserved
when recording or practicing through headphones. The optional STOMPWARE®
footswitch provides seamless transitioning from sound to sound, as
well as tap tempo control and display for the built-in tuner. STOMPWARE
technology allows this multi-function pedal to be connected using
a traditional guitar cable – eliminating the need for special
or hard-to-find cables.
The
Marshall MG2FX Mini Guitar Amplifier and the MG15FXMS Micro Stack
Guitar Amplifier are now available with respective MSRP’s of
$186.00 and $510.00.
