Marshall's Kerry King signature practice amp, the MG10KK, is a 10-Watt, 2-channel combo amp with a 6.5" speaker. It features FDD: Frequency Dependent Damping, a speaker emulation that brings the sound of a big guitar speaker from your small practice amp driver. You also get a speaker-emulated line out that doubles as a CD-in, for playing along with your favorite recordings. A headphone jack, with the same great, emulated sound output, allows you to use your Marshall map to shred in silence, without bothering roommates or neighbors. The classic gold Marshall panel has been stained red while its black knobs and tribal tattoo design are in stark contrast to its bold white text. The result is an amp that in Kerry's words truly has been "reigned in blood."Control Panel
- Input jack: Use a good quality guitar (screened) cable to plug your guitar in here.
- Clean VOLUME control: When the OD Select switch is 'out'; this control adjusts the volume of the Clean Channel. At low settings the sound will be very clean with a bell-like ring. Turning this control above half way will introduce a desirable, bluesy distortion as the power amplifier is driven into 'crunch mode'.
- OD (Overdrive) SELECT switch: Depressing the Overdrive Select Switch will engage the Overdrive Channel.
- Overdrive GAIN control: Turning up the Overdrive Gain Control will increase the amount of distortion generated in the Overdrive channel. Low gain settings will produce classic rock and blues tones. Crank the Gain for fat and aggressive sounds that are perfect for soloing or hard rock and nu-metal riffs.
- Overdrive VOLUME control: The MG10KK cleverly combines its Line Out and CD Input functions. If you want to jam to your favorite CD or tape, merely connect the headphone output of your CD or tape player here, adjust the player's volume to match that of your guitar and 'hey-presto' — you've got the perfect 'play-along' practice system. Alternatively, you can use this socket to connect the MG10KK to your multi-track recording machine and you'll get a great guitar sound direct to disk or tape. HELPFUL HINT: for 'silent' recording merely plug an unconnected jack plug to the headphone socket and you'll disconnect the MG10KK's internal speaker.
- EMULATED HEADPHONES jack: Plug your headphones here for a killer speaker emulated sound! Doing this mutes your MG10KK amp's internal speaker for silent practice.
- POWER Switch and LED: The power switch turns your amplifier on and off. The LED will be lit when your amplifier is on.
