Portable, pure valve, studio quality tone is what the brand new Haze Series is all about. The range has been designed with the gigging/semi-pro musician firmly in mind and takes inspiration from the live music and smokey atmosphere of intimate Blues/Jazz clubs. Loaded with natural valve tone, integrated effects and intuitive footswitching technology, the UK developed and engineered Haze Series takes your studio sound out on the road.
No more compromising on tone over effects (or vise versa) and an end to jumping from FX pedal to FX pedal when your solo kicks in! Comprising the two channel Haze40 and Haze15, the series offers a rugged, gig-ready 40 Watt combo and a peerless 15 Watt head respectively. Combined with MHZ112A and MHZ112B speaker cabs, the Haze15 becomes the epitome of guitar amplification - a valve-driven Marshall stack, but one that fits easily into either the lounge or boot of the car.
Classic Tone, Contemporary Control
The Haze15 contains three ECC83 preamp and two punchy 6V6 power amp valves, providing this two channel mini head with a pure-valve pedigree. A traditional Marshall EQ section of Bass, Middle and Treble allows total tonal control while the Normal and Overdrive channels create both pristine cleans and divine distortions with everything in-between.
Turning up the Normal channel volume takes the clear, honest guitar tone and adds natural valve drive, compression and bite, which can be dynamically adjusted through your guitar's volume control. Engaging the channel-spanning Bright function creates additional sonic sparkle and adds an extra cutting edge to your guitar's tone. Switching to the Overdrive channel sees the amp really start to roar with simple Volume and Gain controls allowing direct, no nonsense access to your sound.
At lower volumes the Haze15 creates smooth and rich overdriven tones, perfect for 'Bluesey' riffing and heart-pounding rhythm playing. Crank this channel up and be rewarded with classic, full-fat, Marshall power amp distortion, and all without taking the roof off! Again, this channel responds extremely well with your guitar's volume control for interactive tone control on the fly.
The two purpose built MHZ112A and MHZ112B speaker cabs have been designed specifically for the Haze15 head, not only in terms of size and style, but also in the sonic-conscious construction and speaker selection process. By calling on nearly half a century's expertise in cabinet manufacture, these compact cabs are able to produce the thick bass and full mid-frequency response required. Both cabs come loaded with a 12" Celestion G12T-66 Marquee speaker, specifically developed for the Haze Series and capable of delivering the amp's wide tonal range.
Creating the Right FX
The beautiful analogue tone produced by each Haze amplifier is matched only by the scope and creative possibilities of the studio quality effects housed within both units. The custom-voiced and widely adjustable Echo, Vibe, and Chorus effects have been specifically designed to help enhance your performance, whether applied subtly or heavily.
Each effect is governed by the Effect Depth and Adjust controls which dial-in the amount of effect in use and control the Echo tempo and Vibe/Chorus modulation rates respectively. Completing the Effects section is a spring-emulated Reverb, which adds both space and fluidity to your overall sound. The key feature however, is that all effect settings are automatically stored to the current channel (and Overdrive Boost on the Haze40), and are recalled when you switch back to that channel - simplicity itself and all from a single footswitch tap.
For the tone purists amongst you, the Effects section features true bypass, which completely removes the efffects circuitry and preserves that treasured all-valve signal path.
Fancy Footwork
Included with both Haze amplifiers is a two-way footswitch, enabling quick channel changes and FX on/off toggling (includes connecting cable). Stomp your way through the Normal and Overdrive channels, engage and disengage the Overdrive Boost and turn the Reverb and internal Effects on and off at will. There's no restricting amp-specific cable to worry about either, as all you need to connect the Haze Footcontroller* to the amp is a simple guitar lead.
If you've been searching for a portable amplifier range that delivers on all tonal promises, then look no further than the Haze Series from Marshall, a truly versatile and dynamic blend of modern technology and pure analogue heritage.

"See through the Haze, you may like what you hear"
Feature:
Most of the features I wanted were built in the head. A clean and dirty channel, low\mid\hi dials, med-low wattage, classic Marshall sound. The effects work fine and offer a true bypass mode that is built in. I use pedals in front of the head vs the built in effects so please try them first if they are important to you. An effect loop would have been nice, and possibly even a 7W\15W switch allowing for a lower power setting. Dirty chan works great but I run clean+pedals instead. For those w\o pedals already, crank the gain and you'll have some fun for sure! The included foot switch works fine and a long cable is included so you can use it straight away.
Quality:
No issues with anything so far. It's only been in service for a month and all is working like it should be. I broke it in a bit the first few weeks and dimed it the third week. No rattles or other issues noted. There's also a 5 year warranty as long as you register so if you have quality issues I'm sure Marshall will take care of you. Tolex, rubber feet, handles, jacks, are all fastened well and put together to make up a great overall package.
Value:
I have tried quite a few combo and head+cabinet configurations. All the ones I no longer have were nice, and functional - just not this nice. You get what you pay for. $900 for a 15W head and speakers is a lot, but if you don't have room for a 4x12, you don't want a combo amp, and you want that Marshall sound, you'll be happy with your purchase.
Desirability:
This stack not only sounds good, but it looks great. I'm far from a professional, but the gear is pro ready. It's about 1/2 the width of a standard 4x12 cab, and a good foot shorter than a normal full stack. It may not get you the ladies, but it should bring peace of mind that you bought some kick ass, high-quality gear. It's very classic in appearance and is true to the photos online.
Sound:
I purchased this after I tested it out at a local guitar shop. It's a Marshall, no question. The clean headroom is great and when it breaks up you get classic, crunchy, Marshall tone. 15W is a lot of power for home use. It should do fine at small gigs and you can always mic it if you need some help. The head is missing an effect loop but does great with pedals in front of it. Zzounds gave me the best price so they got my order. It shipped fast and came very well packaged from Marshall.
Ease of Use:
The head is very basic with fewer jacks and knobs than it's big brothers. I'm sure any novice would be able to get this unit connected etc. within minutes. There is a small booklet that comes with the head just-in-case...
Support:
No calls to support, but I did email them and still have not received a response. The literature, online description, and even the sales staff at Zzounds had no idea if this unit shipped with speaker cables. Just so you know, they are included and work fine. No need to spend another $20-$40 on additional cables to plug in the cabinets with. I marked Marshall down on this simply for their lack of response. I only sent one email and had the package arrive answering all my questions. They should make it policy to reply to all incoming inquiries - it's just good business.
Overall:
I believe I will own this stack until I die. I don't aspire to be a pro and go on the road, and I doubt I'll ever have a practice room this unit can't fill with sound. If I need something else I'll buy it, but I wont sell or trade this off to get the new gear. Great job Marshall, my search for my perfect amp is over!
