The perfect marriage of classic, vintage rock tones with modern features.

The Marshall Vintage Modern 2266C 50 Watt 2 x 12 is an all-valve single channel amplifier with a choice of two dynamic ranges selectable by footswitch. The Low range equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain. The High range adds an extra preamp valve into the signal path, facilitating those classic hard rock tones of the seventies. Add to this the ability to dynamically interface with your instrument's Volume and Tone controls and the experience translates into a truly expressive and organic feel in performance.

Two frequency selective Pre-amp Volumes (Gains) - Body and Detail - facilitate greater flexibility of tonal shaping for individual guitars and styles while the power amplifier is heavily based on the first Marshall amplifiers to be produced, with two KT66 output valves yielding that substantial fat and smooth tone. A MID Boost switch on the front panel fattens the tone even more while a traditional Marshall tone control circuit enables fine tuning of your sound.

A master volume has been included in order to practically manage the output levels at all venues. This is implemented after the phase splitter in order to fully exploit maximum preamp drive when the master is turned down low. A reverb level control mixes the on board plate reverb with the direct signal to whatever degree the player chooses. The reverb can be toggled on and off via the footswitch.

Finally, a series FX loop is provided for those players who wish to use outboard effect to further enhance their sound. Loop levels of 10dB and +4dB are catered for via rear panel switch as well as the option to completely bypass this feature if it is not required.

The Combo comes fitted with two Celestion G12C 25 Watt greenback speakers enabling stand-alone performance. There is a facility for using an extension cab if required.

The cosmetics are also a carefully crafted hybrid of old and new styles made even more dramatic by the deep purple vinyl that covers the entire series.

Marshall Vintage Modern Combo

I,ve beed playing guitars for over 30 years. My first Marshall purchase was a 1971 super lead 100 watt full stack with greenback bottoms. This combo has that sound and playing quality. The Vintage Combo is old school (KT66's) playing your guitar using only the volume and tone controls with a straight through guitar cord. Thanks Marshall for a fine product this amp is all one needs to capture that vintage Marshall tone hands down.

Most Versatile

I admit I own too many amps - if that is possible. I purchased the Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 when it was first released here in the States. The first blew within 15 minutes. The replacement did not work at all. That was the bad part. They were replaced immediately from Guitar Center with zero hassle. Here's the good part... Out of all the Marshall amps I've owned, and there have been many, including real vintage collector pieces, the Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 is by far the most versatile amp I've ever had the pleasure of cranking up. The vast tonality at your disposal is very impressive if you take the time to play around with it and learn to use your volume and tone controls on your guitar. It is absolutely fantastic. From early Clapton to Hendrix to even an almost Twin Reverb clean is easily attainable. The mid and high gains provide even more delight and versatility not available in and all-tube amp. For gigs I ABY the Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 with a Fender Custom Shop '64 Vibroverb with both amps on a custom dual amp rack with results that would give any guitar player chills. In my book the Marshall Vintage Modern is a must have for the serious player. I can also use it at very low volumes in practice environments due to the two pre-amp circuits and master. That won't work with most any other amp out there. Can't say enough good things about it even though the first two were duds. In my opinion it is the Marshall's Marshall. Absolutely amazing amp no matter what the price tag.

Sweet amp

I would love this. I am saving up to get it. I have played on this and it has the best tone I've ever heard from a combo amp. Also, to the person who said that everything made in England is overly expensive and poorly constructed -- I own a Triumph Bonneville and it is the best value on the market and cheap. So I have faith in the Brits based on everything I have seen firsthand, Marshall amps are one of the best.

This amp has the true fat, vintage Marshall sound. Dynamic and with plenty of kick, the vintage modern really captures that classic rock tone. Hopefully I will be able to get one of these soon.

Great Combo Amp!

I have been through amp after amp over the years. Finally, I'm happy with my tone!!! My Peavey Wolfgang sounds amazing through it!

This amp is very versatile. It forces you to dial in your sound with the guitar's volume and tone controls. It becomes addictive when you really adjust the amp controls and look for a "sweet spot" with the guitar volume! You could sum it up in one statement: Overall great vintage rock and roll tone that never gets old!
