MG50FX OVERVIEW
FX LOOP
The FX Return socket (25) on the rear
panel is used to connect the OUTPUT of
the effects processor or pedal you are
using in the effects loop.
The FX loop is series and set at instrument
level so both guitar FX or professional
rack effects units can be connected.
The FX Send socket (26) on the rear panel
is used to connect to the INPUT of the
unit you are using in the effects loop.
The FX loop is switched on and off via the
Ext FX switch (15) on the front panel.
LOUDSPEAKER
ALWAYS USE A NON-SCREENED
MARSHALL APPROVED SPEAKER LEAD
WHEN CONNECTING AN EXTENSION
CABINET TO THESE AMPLIFIERS.
The single Loudspeaker socket (22) is used
to connect either the internal speaker or
an external speaker cabinet to the unit’s
power amp. When using external cabinets
ensure the total load impedance is equal
to, or exceeds, 8 ohms.
POWER
The Power switch (20) turns the amplifier
on and off. If current settings have not
been stored they will be lost.
RESTORING SETTINGS - WARNING: ALL AMP
& FOOTSWITCH SETTINGS WILL BE LOST
To restore the unit to factory settings (see
handbook rear cover) you must hold the
Store switch (19) while powering on the
amplifier. The Clean/Crunch (3) and OD
(5) lights will light orange. You can then
release the Store switch (19).
Resetting the amplifier will erase all
user Channel presets and all user
Footcontroller allocations, replacing them
with the factory presets.

or complete presets (Preset Store).
SWITCH STORE
To assign a front panel switch to a
Footswitch location (1), press and hold
the front panel switch and while held

assign it to.
The Digital Display (3) will swirl to show
that the footswitch has been assigned.
You can then release the footswitch and
front panel switch.

Footcontroller Presets are independent
of the dedicated Channel presets stored
within the amplifier. This allows you to
create a number of presets based on the
same channel/pre-amp setting.
When either a Channel preset or
Footswitch preset has been altered the
Digital Display (3) will begin to flash.
The footcontroller will flash the relevant
number if a Footswitch preset has been
altered or will flash a “-“ if a Channel
preset has been altered.
