12w Master Volume

An outstanding Combo with a performance to suit beginners and professionals alike. It features two inputs, gain, volume, treble, middle and bass controls with a dual line out/headphone socket.

The low input connects the amplifier in its normal mode and, by using the gain and volume controls, a wide variety of guitar sounds can be achieved; from clean, country and jazz sounds to overdrive rock. When the 'high' input socket is selected, an additional sustain circuit is switched into operation, which gives an almost endless sustain. Further utilisations of the three tone-controls, give a wide variety of individual tone colourings to the sound. The combo can be used with two guitars and, when both sockets are used in this manner, it reverts to the normal mode of operation and switches out the sustain circuit, but still gives the 'high' input socket greater sensitivity, so that rhythm and lead guitars can practise together. The cabinet, chassis and electronics of the unit are built to the same exacting standards of the most expensive Marshall amps. The rugged, unstressed power amp drives into a 20 watt Celestion speaker, ensuring a long reliable life and, although this is an inexpensive Combo, it is well worthy of carrying the world famous Marshall nameplate.

30w Master Volume

This entirely new Combo, breaks new ground in Marshall transistor technology, with an output that belies its 30 watt rating. It follows the format laid down by its valve counterparts (models 4010 and 4104) and features exactly the same front panel controls and quality of construction.

By using the best of Marshall's production techniques and utilising sophisticated transistor technology, the cost of this unit has been kept down to an extremely realistic level to enable every musician to enjoy ownership of a Marshall unit. In conjunction with the twin mixable inputs of high and low sensitivity, the preamp and master volume controls, enable any sound characteristic from ultra clean, to a rich, smooth overdrive of a quality rarely found in a transistor amplifier. A full complement of tone controls offers wide adjustment of treble, middle, bass and presence, with each control carefully designed to give maximum usable swing, enabling the player to achieve a great sound, no matter what guitar, style of playing, or acoustic conditions the amplifier is confronted with. The rugged cabinet construction and conservative rating of all components, characteristic of Marshall, have been maintained in order to ensure maximum reliability. Additionally, the 12 inch high-sensitivity speaker is of 70w power-handling and has been specially designed for this Combo, by one of Britain's leading speaker manufacturers.

5Ow Split Channel Model

This solid state equivalent of the new 4210 valve Combo, embodies all the advances shown in that very advanced unit, but because sophisticated transistor technology has been used in its design, the cost has been kept down to a level, to enable every guitarist to enjoy the ownership of one of Marshall's very latest and versatile Combo layouts.

With a front panel of full width, the appearance of the amp and its controls are exactly the same as the model 4210, except that the 5210 does not have a standby switch. The preamp, featuring an entirely new design, offers split channel operation enabling the user to programme two entirely different sounds or tone variations into separate channels and then enables the guitarist to switch from one to the other by use of a footswitch utilising a transistor logic circuit for click and noise free operation. The first of the two channels, designed primarily as a clean or rhythm channel, offers volume, treble and bass controls, with an optional overdrive facility when used in conjunction with the overall master volume. The second channel - the boost channel - activated by the footswitch, and visually shown to be in operation by a red L.E.D., is designed as the lead channel, and offers the player an immense amount of overdrive and sustain, with a wide variation of tone colours. Two more controls on the front panel are for: a) the reverb, used in conjunction with a footswitch ON/OFF function, and b) the master volume control. By using the boost channel controls flat out and varying the sound by this master output control, extremely long, rich sustain can be obtained. The inclusion of reverb at this stage will give even more sustain and hall-like spacial effects. Again in line with the 4210, the back panel facilities are extremely comprehensive, featuring:-Mains input, send and return sockets for effects units with properly matched circuitry for optimum performance, without distortion, and a socket to connect the dual footswitch pedal. A specially selected 12" high sensitivity, 70 watt loudspeaker is fitted to this Combo.
