50W of pure, all-tube Marshall sound at a never-before-seen price.
Marshall has always sought to provide outstanding
tone to guitarists of every budget, and with the new MA Series,
all-tube Marshall tone is now more affordable than ever. The MA50C 50W
combo was carefully designed by Marshall's R&D team using the same
basic principles as all Marshall amps—to deliver colorful, dynamic,
unmistakable Marshall tube tone in a road-ready package.
Attractive Looks
The aesthetics of the MA50C head have been specially designed to create
a look that stands apart from most other Marshall amps, while still
retaining the essence of what people have become familiar with for over
45 years. Two orange LEDs illuminate the interior of the unit,
highlighting the power tubes. This effect is visible through the fret
cloth where the trusty white script logo is mounted onto a solid piece
of transparent Perspex.
Tube Power And Tone Simply Executed
The MA50C is powered using the traditional Marshall mainstays of ECC83
double triode tubes in the preamp, and EL34 pentode tubes in the power
amp. The layout and controls are kept simple, allowing you to explore
unhindered the full potential of the all-tube tone within. The MA50C
has separate EQ stages for both the Clean and Overdrive channels so you
can optimally adjust each one without compromising the other. A 12"
Eminence AX-75 speaker delivers all this great tone to awaiting ears.
An extra benefit has been provided in the form of a tube-driven Boost
function on the OD channel giving you, for example, a solo boost with
more volume and gain. The amp also contains a spring reverb for use
with all channels within the amp.
Intuitive And Practical
The MA50C combo was designed with the flexible control demanded by
today's players in mind, but with a streamlined feature set to keep it
cost effective. Whether in your own home or gigging, setting up the
sounds and relative levels is very easy. The supplied footswitch
assists live performance letting you toggle between settings like Clean
to Overdrive, Clean to Boosted Overdrive, and Overdrive to Boosted
Overdrive, ensuring maximum versatility.
Extras
Even though the MA range is designed as a no-frills, all-tube guitar
amplifier, Marshall included a couple of extra features that allow for
even more versatility. In addition to the all-tube preamp and power amp
tone, MA amplifiers are equipped with an onboard spring reverb tank for
an extra dimension to your sound. With the front-panel level control
you can easily dial in how much you need for your own taste. All MA
amplifiers are also equipped with a serial external effects loop for
guitarists who want to add effects units into their sound. The nominal
level of -10dBV is suited to stompboxes primarily, but not exclusively.
