MG50FX OVERVIEW

CHANNEL SELECTION

The amplifier has 4 channels - Clean,

Crunch, OD1 & OD2.

Pressing the Clean/Crunch switch (3)

selects between the Clean (Green Light)

and Crunch (Red Light) channels.

Pressing the OD-1/OD-2 switch (5)

selects between the OD-1 (Green Light)

and OD-2 (Red Light) channels.

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.

MODES

The amplifier operates in two modes -

Preset and Manual.

To change between these two modes, you

must hold the Damping switch (17) down

for at least two seconds. When in manual

mode the Store switch (19) lights red and

the selected channel light (3 or 5) will start

to flash.

The amplifier will remember the last mode

it was in after power off and revert to it

the next time it is powered on.

PRESET

This is the factory default operation of the

amplifier.

In Preset mode the position of all controls

except Master Volume (16) are stored

within each channel. Each channel should

be considered a preset.

Selecting a channel automatically recalls

the settings stored within the channel.

Note: The physical position of the front

panel controls, except Master Volume (16)

which is not storable, will now not match

the actual settings of the unit. All front

panel switches will automatically update.

Altering a control will cause the associated

parameter to jump to the current physical

position of that control.

When a control is altered the selected

channel light (3 or 5) will start to flash

indicating that the current preset has been

altered.

To store the updated settings, push the

Store switch (19).

If you select another channel without

pressing Store (19) then any altered

settings will be lost as the new channel

and its settings are recalled.

MANUAL

In manual mode the amps settings always

match the physical positions of the

controls.

Changing channel only changes the

channel, NO presets are recalled, NO

other controls are altered.

Pressing Store (19) will store the current

settings into the selected channel. These

can then be recalled when using the unit

in Preset mode.

When channel settings have been stored

the current channel light (3 or 5) will stop

flashing indicating the preset has been

saved.

REVERB, FX & DELAY

The amplifier provides three simultaneous

digital effects: Reverb, Delay and any

one of the five offered on the FX control

(Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Vibe or Octave).

REVERB

The Reverb control sets the amount of

signal sent to either one of the two reverb

options - Studio or Spring.

ENGLISH

The FX control is essentially split into five

segments and selects the type of FX and

adjusts its associated settings – except

in the case of Octave which has a single

setting. When the FX control is set to

‘0’ the FX are switched off, the status of

the FX is also indicated on the optional

footcontroller.

DELAY

Hi-Fi

A high fidelity, digital delay so pure that

each individual repeat is identical to the

original note(s).

Tape

This emulates the classic, analogue

nature of a tape echo, producing a warm,

dark sounding delay effect with each

successive repeat diminishing.

Multi

A digital delay with multiple outputs (taps),

each having a different delay time.

Reverse

As its name suggests, this emulates the

sound of a reverse or backwards delay –

usually created in a studio by reversing the

tape or track (i.e. playing it backwards).

TAP TEMPO

The Tap Tempo switch (13) is used for the

Delay effect only.

The Tap Tempo switch matches the delay

time to the time between two presses.

The Tap Tempo LED flashes red at the

selected/recalled delay time.

The number of repeats is reduced as the

delay time decreases. If you change from

a channel with delay to one without delay

the effect will spill between channels.

If you change from a channel with delay

to a channel with delay set to a different

delay time the delay effect will not spill

between channels.

MP3 / LINE IN

The 3.5mm MP3 / Line In socket (24) on

the rear panel allows the connection of

an external audio source e.g. MP3 or CD

player.

HEADPHONES & LINE OUT

The 3.5mm Headphone socket (18)

allows the connection of a pair of

headphones. When a jack is inserted into

the headphone socket the unit’s speaker

is muted.

Additionally the Headphone 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.

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 emphasised

middle and limited bass and treble.

Switching Damping on (LED on) will boost

the speaker resonances both in the bass

and high frequency ranges.

ENGLISH

0 FX Off

Chorus Speed increases and depth is reduced as knob is

turned clockwise.

Phaser Speed increases as knob is turned clockwise.

Flanger Speed increases, feedback and depth are

reduced as knob is turned clockwise.

Vibe The speed of the modulation increases as the

control is turned clockwise.

Octave When the FX control is turned fully clockwise

the Octave effect is engaged – producing a

simultaneous note a full octave lower than the

one being played.
