From Jim Marshall
I would like to thank you personally for selecting the
new 10 Watt MG10KK Kerry King combo.
During the development of the JCM800 2203KK,
Kerry's signature Marshall Head, he often mentioned
his use of the MG10CD, one always on tour with him
and one always kept at home. With this in mind I
decided that we would extend our thanks and
produce an MG10KK, a special edition MG10CD
echoing the design of the 2203KK.
The MG Series raises the standard for what can
be expected from a value-for-money range of guitar
amplifiers, some might dismiss the MG10KK as
only being 10 Watts, but not me, its 10 Watts of
tone that delivers the Marshall sound and as we've
seen strong enough to take the knocks of a world
tour or two.
Kerry worked with my graphics team and hand
picked the final design. 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'
Both Kerry and I believe that effort and dedication fuel
our lives and to help guide you on your own way alongside
this combo and handbook you'll find an exclusive DVD
featuring a lesson from Kerry himself. The MG10KK is a
versatile amp, perfect for someone just taking their first steps as
a guitarist, as an ideal companion for warming up at gigs or for just
being there for when inspiration hits, this combo is ready and waiting.
Whichever path you're on I would like to wish you every success with your new
amplifier and welcome you to the ever increasing Marshall family.
Yours sincerely
Dr. Jim Marshall OBE

1. INPUT jack
Use a good quality guitar (screened) cable to
plug your guitar in here.
7. CD IN & EMULATED LINE OUT jack
DVD Contents
Guitar Abuse - with Kerry King
The MG10KK cleverly combines its Line Out
and CD Input functions. If you want to jam to
your favourite 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.
2. Clean VOLUME control
1. Gain Talk.
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’.
2. Tone Talk.
3. Take Your Pick.
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.
4. Tuning Talk.
5. Rhythm & Bruise - Picking Pattern 1.
6. Rhythm & Bruise - Getting Down On Picking.
7. Rhythm & Bruise - Picking Pattern 2.
8. Rhythm & Bruise - Gallop & Reverse Gallop.
9. Rhythm & Bruise - Palm Muting.
10. Rhythm & Bruise - ‘Survival Of The Fittest’.
11. Rhythm & Bruise - Inverted Power Chords.
12. ‘Expendable Youth’ 12 Tone Riff.
13. ‘Expendable Youth’ 12 Tone Riff Slowly.
14. Two Handed Tapping.
3. OD (Overdrive) SELECT switch
Depressing the Overdrive Select Switch will
engage the Overdrive Channel.
HELPFUL HINT: for ‘silent’ recording merely
plug an unconnected jack plug to the
headphone socket and you’ll disconnect the
MG10KK’s internal speaker.
4. 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.
8. EMULATED HEADPHONES jack
Plug your headphones here for a killer speaker
emulated sound! Doing this mutes your
MG10KK’s internal speaker for ‘silent’ practice.
9. POWER Switch & LED
15. Don’t Waste Time.
The power switch turns your amplifier on and
off. The LED will be lit when your amplifier is on
and will not be lit when the amplifier is switched
off.
16. See Ya!!!
5. Overdrive VOLUME control
Amazingly enough, this control adjusts the
volume of the Overdrive channel!
Note: Before connecting to the mains
electricity supply, always ensure that your
electricity supply is compatible with your
amplifier, as detailed on the rear panel.
The louder this channel is set, the ‘looser’ the
amplifier will sound and feel. This behaviour is
exactly what a good all-valve amplifier does and
is a result of our proprietary FDD circuitry.
Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and
unplugged from the mains electricity supply
before being moved.
6. CONTOUR control
This highly effective tone control works on
both the Clean and Overdrive channels. By
radically modifying the mid-range (body), the
tone can range from traditional and woody
sounding (setting at 10), to aggressive,
‘scooped’ and modern (setting at 0) and all
points in-between.
