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
FX
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.
FX Off
0
Speed increases and depth is reduced as knob is
Chorus
turned clockwise.
Speed increases as knob is turned clockwise.
Phaser
Speed increases, feedback and depth are
Flanger
reduced as knob is turned clockwise.
The speed of the modulation increases as the
Vibe
control is turned clockwise.
When the FX control is turned fully clockwise
Octave
the Octave effect is engaged – producing a
simultaneous note a full octave lower than the
one being played.
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.
