User manual MARSHALL AMPLIFIER 1992LEM SIGNATURE SUPER BASS 100W HEAD

[. . . ] I would like to wish you every success with your new amplifier and welcome you to the ever increasing Marshall family. Jim Marshall OBE 1 Not many can claim the Living Legend status but Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister is most certainly deserving of the title. He also happens to be one of Marshalls most ardent fans, recently quoting:- "If it has Marshall written on it you can buy it without even a test drive, theyre that good. " To honour this unique partnership that stretches back over three decades, the team at Marshall has created this new Signature Series amplifier that takes its inspiration from Lemmys very own modified 1992 100W Super Bass unit ­ Murder One. The result is an amp that delivers sublime tone combined with sheer volume and crushing power, all wrapped up in a rugged oversized cab. [. . . ] No such retirement is planned for Lemmy though, as one of the last original metal maniacs there seems to be no end to his un-yielding stamina to write and perform Motörheads own unique brand of head banging Rock n Roll. Armed with his new Signature Series Super Bass amps, that will nodoubt be christened before too long (any suggestions to www. imotorhead. com by the way), we are certain of many more years of the mind blowing tone and bone crushing volume that has come to epitomise the Lemmy and Marshall partnership since the 70s. Finally, Marshall would like to thank Eddie, Roger, Tim, Abbe, Dan and the rest of the Motörhead road crew for their un-wavering help and support throughout this incredible project. Special thanks also to Phil and Mikkey for their continuing efforts to destroy the hearing of Motörhead fans the world over and thanks, of course, to the greatest living Englishman himself ­ Lemmy. He may have belted out:- "They say Im gonna lose and gamblings for fools, but thats the way I like it baby, I dont want to live forever!" over a thousand times since 1980, but on current form it appears that he just might. Where did this custom of naming his amps come from though?. [it] just comes from Lemmys active mind, a blade and too much time on his hands. . " Lemmy has also had at his disposal: Marsha, No Remorse and Killer among countless other Super Bass variants over the years which have all formed part of the imposing backdrop to many a Motörhead show. Lemmys Marshall amps have become such an indelible part of Motörhead folklore that there were reports after a riotous gig in Argentina, where the crowd tore through the stage and destroyed most of the bands equipment, that Murder One was being held to ransom!Thankfully, the truth is that most of Lemmys rig, including his custom 4x12" and monstrous 4x15" Marshall Cabs, was safely pulled off stage moments before the over-zealous fans could get their sweaty, air punching hands on it. Sadly though, three plectrums and a microphone stand didnt make it! 2 3 Front panel - Lemmy's preferred settings shown 9 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 12 Rear panel 1 2 3 4 5 6 Front panel features 1. POWER SWITCH This is the On/Off switch for mains power to the amplifier. It will light up when your amplifier is receiving the correct mains power and is switched on. It will not be lit when the amplifier is switched off and/or is not receiving mains power. Note: Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and unplugged from the mains electricity supply whenever it is moved. VOLUME II This controls the overall output level of Channel II, turning it clockwise increases the volume level. This channel is voiced for a normal, flatter response. Rear panel features 1. There are two parallel loudspeaker output jacks provided for connection to speaker extension cabinet(s). Please always ensure that the amplifier's output impedance selector is set correctly (see item 2) and ALWAYS ensure you use good quality speaker (unshielded) cables. Always use a non-screened Marshall approved speaker lead when connecting an extension cabinet to these units. OUTPUT IMPEDANCE SELECTOR Matches the amplifiers output to the load (speaker) impedance. MAINS INPUT Your amp is provided with a detachable mains (power) lead, which is connected here. The specific mains input voltage rating that your amplifier has been built for is indicated on the back panel. [. . . ] Lemmys preferred settings are shown on the panel above. The reverse is also possible ­ namely plugging your guitar into Channel IIs top input and then running the jumper cable from Channel IIs bottom input to Channel Is top input. This less common approach can yield some interesting tonal variations. MAINS SELECTOR Matches the amplifiers mains transformer to the incoming mains voltage. ALWAYS ensure that this rotary selector is set to the correct mains voltage applicable for the country where the 1992LEM is being used. [. . . ]
