Presenting the Haze series – 40 Watt combo and 15 Watt
head. Developed and engineered in the UK, these two
channel valve amplifiers, inspired by the British tones of the
60s and 70s, provides that classic Marshall roar with a
modern edge.
The MHZ40C 40Watt combo offers a dedicated overdrive
boost and series effects loop in a classic top loading 1x12"
combo loaded with a Celestion Marquee (G12-66) speaker –
custom designed in partnership with Marshall.
The MHZ15 15 Watt head can be paired with the optional
cabinets MHZ412A and MHZ412B to form a valve powered
mini stack
The vintage voiced effects section stores its settings per
channel for instant recall and provides a choice of classic
echo, vibe or chorus alongside a reverb providing the warmth
and transparency of a spring tank.
The reverb and effects are routed in parallel to the direct
signal so that no degradation of the direct signal occurs. By
turning the special reverb level and effects depth pots to
minimum ‘past the click’ and bypassing the effects loop on the
MHZ40C, the effect section is true bypassed, mechanically
removing the circuit from the amplifier – leaving the Haze
amps with an all-valve signal path.
1. Make sure that the speakers/cabinet(s) are connected to
the correct impedance LOUDSPEAKER jack(s) on the rear
panel.
See the Speaker Output guides in this handbook for specifics
regarding impedance matching. When using an extension
cabinet make sure that you’re using a proper speaker cable.
Never use a screened (shielded) guitar cable for this purpose.
WARNING! Failure to do any of the above will damage
your amp.
2. Ensure that the two VOLUME controls on the front panel
are set to zero.
3. Connect the supplied mains (power) lead into the MAINS
INPUT on the rear panel first and then into an electrical outlet.
4. Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack socket on the front
panel.
5. Turn the front panel POWER switch on. The switch’s LED
will illuminate and then wait a couple of minutes.

6. After waiting, engage the STANDBY switch.
STANDBY Switch (17)
The Standby switch is used in conjunction with the Power
Switch (18) to ‘warm up’ the valves in the amplifier before
use and to mute the amplifier when required, such as when
you are changing guitars. When powering up the amplifier
we suggest engaging the Power Switch (18) first, leaving
the Standby switch in the ‘OFF’ position for two minutes to
allow the valves to heat up.
When switching the amplifier off, always disengage the
Standby Switch a couple of seconds prior to the main
Power Switch.
7. Your amp is ready to play.
Mains Input & Fuse
Your amp is provided with a detachable mains (power) lead,
which is connected on the rear panel. The specific mains input
voltage rating that your amplifier has been built for is indicated
on the back panel.
WARNING: Before going any further, make sure your
amplifier is compatible with your electrical supply. If you have
any doubt, please get help from a qualified technician - Your
Marshall dealer can help you in this respect.
The correct value of mains fuse is specified on the rear panel
of the amplifier. NEVER attempt to bypass the fuse or fit one
of the incorrect value.

Getting Started & Powering Up
From Jim Marshall
I would like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate you on
choosing this Haze amplifier from Marshall.
As a musician myself I fully understand the thrill and enjoyment of
playing live music - whether that be on a stage to thousands, or in
the bedroom to yourself - there’s nothing quite like it. I also
appreciate the need for high quality equipment that not only delivers
the sound you’re looking for, but that also has the dynamic
play-ability and feature set that separates a good amp from a truly
fantastic one.
With these ideals firmly in mind, I set the Marshall team the
challenge of turning them into a range of all-valve driven amplifiers
that would be affordable, portable and look the part too. I must say I
was delighted when they presented me with what has now become
the Haze Series. Using the latest technology and good old fashioned
craftsmanship, these amplifiers have squeezed pure Marshall tone,
custom designed digital effects and innovative footswitching
technology into both a compact 40W combo and 15W Ministack.
Perfect for either the gigging musician or those seeking their very
own valve Marshall stack at home.
As with all Marshall products, the Haze Series undergoes stringent
quality control checks throughout its meticulous construction,
ensuring that the end result is fit for purpose and continues the high
standards expected of a Marshall amplifier.
Whether this is your first ever Marshall or the latest addition to your
arsenal of amps, the versatility, response and tone of the Haze
Series will only add to the guitar playing pleasure you’re no-doubt
accustomed to.
I wish you every success with your new Marshall amplifier. Welcome
to the family...
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Jim Marshall OBE
