Marshall MGIII Series w/Digital Effects
The MGIII Series of amplifiers consists of nine new models (eight combos and one head), utilizing the latest innovations in solid-state and digital technologies (many developed for the critically acclaimed AVT (Advanced Valve State) range of amps). The result is a comprehensive line of solid-state amplifiers that captures the essence of the Marshall sound at affordable price points.
At the heart of the MGIII Series is an extremely responsive power amp section featuring Marshall's proprietary FDD (frequency dependent damping) circuitry that accurately mimics the interaction of an all-tube amp's power stage with the loudspeaker(s) it is driving. As a result, the MG amps respond and "feel" more like tube amplifiers than other amplifiers in this price range.
Common features to all nine models are two channels (Clean & Overdrive), CD input (use an iPOD)s (use an iPOD) (use an iPOD) (now use an iPOD), Emulated Line Outs (sounds like a 412 Marshall bottom), Headphone jacks and Marshall's trademarked, brushed gold front panel.

All nine also feature Contour controls in their EQ networks
that allow
the user to fine-tune those all-important mids -- from a fat,
"woody" vintage sound to a modern, aggressive
"scoop" and all points in between. In addition, six models
also feature built-in digital effects (DFX) and deliver a choice of four
(Reverb, Delay, Flange or Chorus) or five (Chorus/Delay, Delay, Flange
or Chorus plus Reverb) custom-voiced effects that have been designed to
eliminate the harsh-sounding, artificial "grain" often
associated with digital effects. The MG50DFX, MG100DFX and MG250DFX also
boast custom-voiced, 12" Celestion speakers.
