An MG that does gigs
Marshall calls the MG50GFX a gig-worthy amp with a decidedly bold sound, just as much at home in the studio. Its custom 12" speaker delivers a powerful sound.
The supplied footswitch moves between clean/crunch and the overdrive channels, hands-free. Marshall also lists compatibility with the PEDL-90008, sold separately.
Built-in effects and outboard pedals
Reverb, chorus, phaser, flanger, vibe, octave and delay, with a separate delay control. The series loop takes external pedals, and a switch brings them in. Each channel stores its own settings.
A 1/4" speaker output (8 Ω minimum) lets you add a cabinet.
