Used — Good. Add to Cart. Like its name, it's a mix between old and new. The amplifier is a single channel amp that features four KT66 power tubes for watts of power, four 12AX7 preamp tubes, two gain pots, a detail knob, a body knob, a mid boost switch, digital reverb and a serial effects loop.
Despite it being a single channel amplifier, it's very versatile. The dual gain pots can allow you to dial in more unique and interesting gain tones than a single gain pot. The body and detail knobs can also further help taylor the sound you hear…. The body and detail knobs can also further help taylor the sound you hear in your head to what's coming out of your speakers. Keep in mind, however, that this isn't a high gain monster like the JVM. This is a more midgain kind of amplifier.
If you're looking for higher gain, you'll want to boost this thing with some sort of tubescreamer. For once, the controls on this are somewhat sensitive. It takes some time to dial in a good sound. However, once you do, you'll find it sounds more open and organic than, say, the JVM. For that great 80s metal tone, throw a tubescreamer in front of the amplifier. That'll really kick the thing into overdrive and deliver some absolutely huge tones, especially once you start adding the reverb.
The loop on this, despite being a solid state loop, is actually a pretty good loop. It's fairly transparent, and it seems to work with most gear out there. It's similar to a JCM but way more versatile. Keep in mind that it's not exactly the same as the standard Marshall tone thanks to the KT66 tubes, but I find it to be a mix between a modern modded Marshall and a JCM It's a really cool amp that, while being a bit touchy with the EQ, is worth checking out.
King Loudness. The Marshall Vintage Modern head is a watt tube head that was introduced by Marshall to capitalize on the "modified Marshall" craze being spearheaded by guys like Dave Friedman, Rick Onslow, Scott Splawn and many others. On the far right there is the Body and Detail controls which control your two different gain frequencies, low and high.
There is also a Dynamic Range switch which allows you to switch from a lower gain, looser sound to a higher gain sound that is a little bit tighter in my experience. Though it's basically a single channel amp, there is still a lot of flexibility if you use the guitar's volume control and amp's various gain adjusters to hone your sound. There is also an effects loop on the back and a plate reverb on the front panel. I found that was very dynamic and responsive to the type of guitar, type of pickup, picking attack, and use of the volume control.
Since there is no "clean" channel on this amp, the best you're going to get is by using a combination of the low range modes, low settings on the body and detail controls and use of your guitar's volume control and picking dynamics.
However, most people don't buy Marshall type amps for cleans, myself included, so that's not a huge dealbreaker in my eyes. Really, the biggest thing about setting up this amp is remembering one key word However, if you are looking for a single sound IE: classic plexi, super high gain just set the amp up to your taste and enjoy the dulcet tones!
Because of this, I spent most of my time in the high dynamic range mode with the body and detail controls to taste I tended to leave the body control around noon, and the detail was set to about 1 or 2 oclock. I was using this amp through a Vintage 30 loaded 4x12, which is a great sounding speaker compliment for this amp's tonal range. The tones I liked best were those higher gain settings that were very similar to the tones of guys like Doug Aldrich or John Sykes.
Very full and thick sounding, not too grainy, but with enough of that top end Marshall-y "sizzle" to give the tone that classic burning quality for riffs and leads. For that set of tones, the only amp I've played that was comparable was the Splawn Quick Rod. Everything else Marshall makes falls flat on its face when compared to this amp for raunchy British aggression, in my opinion.
I was recommend to try it by a friend of mine who works at the local Marshall dealer. However, this one was a pleasant surprise! The vintage and modern tones were both there in spades, and I really dug both tones. They're a great sounding hard rock amp. Users of the classic Marshalls will be happy that it's so similar to their favourite JMP or in terms of controls, and modern users should enjoy the fact that this amp doesn't take endless tweaking to get sounding great.
Probably the only new Marshall I would recommend right now is this one. If you want that classic Marshall rock tone, this is the one to get! SI SI! Simple yeah if you want Or so I thought. But I would say no I rediscovered two or three times this amp On Start and Tele In its clear he is doing well and yes it may sound in Marshall clean as it incorporates the old Marshall plexi characterstics style JTM45 X more sweet etc Remember plex entries "High Trebble" and "Normal" that you could mix or play on one or the other Well here it is the same except that egg you save the master volume because here they only serve to saturate the preamp It biensur schematically for the less knowledgeable and Deplus remains a plexi plexi!
The Dynamic Range is a second floor Gainet should not be considered a second channel recess can of course depending on the settings if desired and boost overdrive pedal or distortion and more! But woe to those who play very saturate position "High" and who would return to "Low" for a clean if the settings are pushed Details and Body recess you cruncher in Low volulmes therefore use the scraper, selector Micros or OD pedals etc With two settings body details you can go crunch in a clean and low in saturated Crunch was high.
The reverb is doing its job but it is a bit too much Room to my taste and a tad short what, so we like it or not and for me it means I hope you enjoy the voyage of tonal discovery on which you are about to embark and continue to do so for many years to come.
The accompanying 4 x 12 cabinets are the A and B, each rated for Watts power handling. This amplifier has a single channel with the capability of switching between two dynamic ranges, either by front panel push button or supplied footswitch. Each dynamic range yields its own gain structure and sonic character. It is optimised to react to your touch and always retains a substantial tonality wherever you may set your guitar volume. This technique is still favoured by many players and their heroes.
Once the amplifier is optimally set, the guitar becomes your control centre for accessing the varying degrees of tone and boost required for live performances. A brand new feature are the two frequency selective Preamp Volumes gains which work in tandem to provide greater flexibility over tonal shaping of your instrument.
The power amp plays a significant role in contributing to the overall sound and incorporates KT66 valves for true vintage tone. These are complimented by the newly developed Celestion G12C greenback speakers which deliver that smooth, balanced, harmonically rich timbre sought after by numerous connoisseurs of benchmark Marshall Tones.
