Compact Micro Stack Joins Marshall MG Series

Marshall introduced the MG15MSII Micro Stack as the latest addition to their new MG Series of amplifiers. Designed after the legendary Marshall stacks that have graced the stages of top performers for nearly four decades, this "little brother" offers up Marshall-size tone in a compact form, measuring a mere 37"H x 15"W x 9"D. Its 2-channel (Clean & Overdrive), 15 Watt head powers two 1x10" speaker cabinets -- one straight and one slanted -- in true classic Marshall form.

The MG15MSII amplifier boasts the same features and controls as the MG15CDR combo. The controls include Clean Volume, Overdrive Gain, Overdrive Volume and Reverb level. The amp's 3-way EQ network contains controls for Bass, Contour and Treble. The Contour control allows the user to accurately fine-tune the amp's mid-frequency characteristics.

Like all amps in the MG Series, the MG15MSII incorporates Marshall's proprietary FDD (Frequency Dependent Damping) circuitry, which is controlled via an on/off switch on the front panel. FDD mimics the interaction of an all-tube amp's power stage with the loudspeakers it is driving and, in so doing, emulates tube amp feel and sound. In addition, as all MG Series amps, the MG15MSII boasts a CD input, an Emulated Line Out and a Headphone jack that, when used, mutes the speakers, for "silent" practice sessions.

To complete the package, the MG15MSII comes with Marshall's trademark brushed gold front panel and instantly recognizable white script logo.

The new Marshall MG15MSII Micro Stack will be available in September with a suggested list price of $400.00.
