WARNING! SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read this manual carefully before plugging in. Follow all instructions and heed all warnings.

Warning: Please refer to full details in separate Important Safety Instructions CATS-90009.

Warning: before going any further, make sure that your amp is compatible with your mains electricity supply. If you have any doubt, please seek help from a qualified technician – your Marshall dealer can help you with this.

MAINS INPUT & FUSE

The specific mains input voltage rating that your amp has been manufactured for is indicated on the rear panel of the amp. Never attempt to bypass the fuse or fit one of the incorrect value or type.

Warning: your amp must be switched off and disconnected from the mains electricity supply before you check and/or change any fuse.

IMPORTANT SET UP INFORMATION

Follow the start-up procedures below to safely switch on your amp.

Warning: Failure to follow these instructions may damage your amp.

1. If using your amp with an extension cabinet, make sure the power handling rating of the speaker cabinet is equal to or higher than the output power of the amp. Connect either a single 16Ω speaker cabinet to the single speaker output on the rear panel, or a single 8Ω speaker cabinet or two 16Ω speaker cabinets to the pair of 8Ω speaker outputs.

Note: When connecting a speaker cabinet make sure that you use a proper speaker cable. Never use a screened (shielded) guitar cable for this purpose.

1. Ensure the power switch is switched off and set all master volumes on the front panel

to zero.

1. To use the footswitch, connect the footswitch cable to the footswitch socket on the rear panel of the amp.
2. Connect the supplied mains (power) lead into the mains input on the rear panel first and then into an electrical outlet.
3. Plug your guitar into the input jack socket on the front panel.
4. Turn the front panel power switch on. The switch will glow red. Turn the selected channel volume up to your preferred level and your amp is ready to play.

TRANSPORTING YOUR EQUIPMENT

Please ensure that your amp is switched off, unplugged from the mains electricity supply and all removable cables have been disconnected from your equipment before attempting to move it.

Only move the amp on its own; do not attempt to move it while it is stacked on top of a cabinet or other equipment.

FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS

1. INPUT

Connect your guitar here using a 14 " jack instrument cable.

CLASSIC GAIN CHANNEL

2. GAIN

Controls the gain level for the classic gain channel. Use this control to adjust the amount of input gain/signal sent into the preamp stage. Running a higher gain setting increases the level of distortion in your sound.

3. MODE STATUS LED

This LED lights green to indicate that clean mode is selected and red to indicate crunch mode is selected.

4. VOLUME

Controls the volume level of the classic gain channel.

5. CLEAN/CRUNCH

Press to select clean or crunch mode. The classic gain channel's two modes take your sound from clean to overdriven tones.

ULTRA GAIN CHANNEL

6. GAIN

Controls the gain level for the ultra gain channel. Use this control to adjust the amount of input gain/signal sent into the preamp stage. Running a higher gain setting increases the level of distortion in your sound.

7. MODE STATUS LED

This LED lights green to indicate that OD1 mode is selected and red to indicate OD2 mode is selected.

8. VOLUME

Controls the volume level of the ultra gain channel.

9. OD1/OD2

Press to select OD1 or OD2 mode. The ultra gain channel's two modes take your sound from distorted to heavy gain tones.

EQUALISATION SECTION

10. TREBLE

Controls the higher frequency content of your sound. Turning clockwise will increase the highs making the sound brighter.

11. MIDDLE

Controls the middle frequencies of your sound. Turning clockwise increases the level of mid frequencies in your sound. Turning anti-clockwise reduces the middle frequencies, 'scooping' the sound – this is accentuated when used in conjunction with Tone Shift.

12. BASS

Controls the amount of lower frequency in your sound. Turning clockwise will increase bottom-end making the sound fuller.

13. TONE SHIFT

Tone shift reconfigures the preamp EQ, giving you a distinctly different sound. When tone shift is engaged, high and low frequencies are accentuated and mid frequencies are cut.

14. PRESENCE

Adjust the power amp EQ to add treble to your sound. Turning clockwise brings out the top end frequencies in your tone.

15. RESONANCE

Adjust the power amp EQ to add body to your sound. Turning clockwise brings out the low end frequencies in your tone.

Note: The EQ controls are linked. Altering the setting of one control can change the way that the other controls behave, so it is worth

experimenting to find your sound.

REVERB SECTION

16. CLASSIC REVERB

Controls the reverb level of the classic channel.

17. ULTRA REVERB

Controls the reverb level of the ultra channel.

MASTER VOLUME SECTION

18. MASTER SELECT

Switches between control of Master 1 and Master 2.

19. MASTER 1

Set the overall volume level of Master 1.

20. MASTER STATUS LED

This LED turns green to indicate that Master 1 is selected and red to indicate Master 2 is selected.

21. MASTER 2

Set the overall volume level of Master 2.

22. LOOP STATUS LED

This LED turns green to indicate that the FX loop is on. It is unlit when the FX loop is off.

23. LOOP ON/OFF

This switch turns the FX loop on and off.

24. OUTPUT

Use this switch to reduce power level from 40W down to 20W, or to place the amp into standby mode.

25. POWER

This turns the amp on and off.

REAR PANEL FUNCTIONS

26. MAINS INPUT

The supplied mains power lead is connected here. The mains input voltage rating that your amp has been built for is shown on the rear panel.

Warning: before powering on, ensure the amp is compatible with the mains voltage of the country that the amp is being used in. If you have any doubt, please get advice from a qualified person.

27. MIDI IN

Connect your external MIDI device here.

28. FX LOOP RETURN

Return your signal from external FX equipment here using a 14 " jack instrument cable.

29. FX LOOP SEND

Connect your external FX equipment here using a 14 " jack instrument cable.

30. F/S

Connect the supplied channel footswitch here (PEDL-90012) or optional footswitch (PEDL-91016).

31. AUDIO IN

Connect an external device here to practice with or jam along to music.

32. EMULATED OUT

Frequency-compensated line level output for headphones. This output features cabinet emulation by Softube®. This means the sound from this output includes simulation of the sound of a speaker and a cab.

33. SPEAKER OUTPUTS

1/4" jack speaker outputs. They are labelled according to the corresponding cabinet setups:

• 1 x 16 Ohm: connect a 16Ω speaker cabinet.
• 1 x 8 Ohm / 2 x 16 Ohm: connect a single 8Ω guitar cabinet or two 16Ω cabinets.

- 1 x 4 Ohm / 2 x 8 Ohm: connect a single 4Ω guitar cabinet or two 8Ω guitar cabinets.

Warning: although the amp has five speaker outputs, never attempt to connect more speakers than rated. The safe combinations are listed above. Any other speaker configuration may stress or damage the amp.
