AVT50 1x12" Combo & AVT50H Head Front Panel Features
7 Overdrive Volume Control
As its name suggests, this control
determines how loud your AVT50’s Overdrive
channel will be. The volume setting you
choose will be dependent on both how loud
you actually want to be, and also what type of
sound you have set up on the preamp, i.e. high
overdrive settings will be generating much
more preamp output level than lower, cleaner
settings. Due to the remarkable realism of our
Advanced Valvestate Technology, once the
Volume control is turned-up past a certain
point, the preamp will start to push the power
amp section into creating its own, desirable
distortion mode - just like an all-valve Marshall
amp. When this occurs, the AVT50's power
amp will start to add musical harmonics,
compression and ‘break-up’ into your sound.
8 Overdrive Tone Controls
The AVT50 is equipped with rotary Bass,
Middle, and Treble controls, for the Overdrive
Channel. These three passive EQ controls are
designed to achieve maximum tonal variation
from your AVT50 and, just like our famous all-
valve amps, are highly inter-dependent on
each other. As a result, the way each one
functions depends on the exact position of the
other two controls. This is especially true of the
Bass and Treble controls in relation to the
Middle control. The lower the Middle control,
the more reaction can be obtained from the
others. As tone is very much down to personal
taste, experimentation and experience is
probably the best way of learning how these
three controls will affect your sound. Some
suggested settings are shown later.
Points to remember are:
A) The tone and output level coming out
of the guitar is as widely variable as there are
guitars themselves, guitars are not designed
(nor intended) to be equal. Therefore, amp
settings will vary to suit your guitar and playing
style, and, by necessity, are at your discretion.
Again, if in doubt, consult your Marshall dealer
for advice.
B) The tone of your sound is also
dependent on the settings of the ‘tone’ controls,
and adjusting them to taste will further enhance
the sonic textures of your AVT50.
9 Reverb Depth Control
The AVT50 is fitted with an internal spring
Reverb unit. This control affects the mix of the
direct (dry) and Reverb signals - the higher the
control is set, the greater the depth of the
Reverb.
10 CD Input Jack Socket
The CD input will take a stereo signal from
an external source, such as a CD or tape
player, and mix it into a mono format. This will
allow you to play along with a pre-recorded
signal. Because this input is after the preamp
stages, its volume has to be controlled from
your CD or tape player.
11 Headphone Jack Socket
In addition to providing a specially filtered
output signal for a set of headphones, this jack
also disconnects the main loudspeaker,
enabling you to practice in ‘silence’.
