If you're looking for the perfect marriage of classic, vintage rock tones with modern features and levels of gain, your search is over!

The Marshall Vintage Modern 2466 Tube Amp Head is an all-valve amplifier with a choice of two dynamic ranges selectable by footswitch. The Low range equates 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 in tone shaping for individual guitars and styles while the power amplifier is heavily influenced by the first Marshall amplifiers to be produced, with four 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 effects to further enhance their sound. Loop levels of 10dB and +4dB can be controlled via a rear panel switch as well as the option to completely bypass this feature if it is not 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.

Vintage Modern

I've only had the chance to use this amp in guitar center, but what tones I've gotten out of it really amazes me. I've started off with a JVM halfstack, and while it's a great amp, my style is a much bluesy/rock n' roll style, so many of the channels I have don't get used alot, which I feel is a waste of possibility for the amp. The vintage modern is a great amp, We all know slash's love for this animal, but what really made me look at this amp was Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scotts playing this amp. Great tone, I want this amp.

Absolutely Outstanding

Posted by Strat Lover from Mount Vernon on Mar 4, 2009

Reviewer's Play Style: Blues, Rock, Jazz, and about anything else

I had been using a Fender Deluxe in my band, and while it sounded great, it didn't have quite enough volume, and not near enough clean headroom as I would have liked. the simple solution: Marshall Vintage Modern. This amp is basically a plexi, with added features, for even less. While I basically use this as a one channel plexi, I could get some great overdriven tones with the added preamp. One thing I wish is that there wasn't such a mass volume increase when the preamp was added, or else I'm sure I would use it much more. the reverb on this is. . . Okay. A little dark, but works fine for just that little bit of subtle atmosphere at a gig. the two preamp volumes are very cool, I tend to have the detail (top end) slightly lower than the body (Bottom end), and they sound great. With both of them cranked on the low drive channel, there are some great blues tones to be had.

In short, for the money, I don't believe there is anything better out there. Marshall has done it again.

The Best Amp

This IS the best amp out there.

I've owned this for over a year.

I had wanted a 1959SLPX like Jimmy Page has for years but its only 1 channel (like this amp) BUT this amp has the option to kick on another tube with a footswitch (included), making it great for solos. I hate using effects and pedals, I just like using the amp and this is all you need.

I love marshall! this is my 2nd marshall head. I also own a JCM2000 but this one is so much better.

You get the exact sounds of Zeppelin or whatever and you can kick on an additional tube for extra gain.

Plus another rad thing about this is it has 2 gain controls. with those you can make your sound fatter and still cut through. Its truly amazing, but this amp, I WONT use anything else

this amp'll eat your amp alive and your amp'll die

Reviewer's Play Style: Syd Allmans Sabbath Cheer Byrds Zep Hendrix Cream

This most beastly of amplifiers is basically a Plexi 100 with some mezz upgrades. The first and my personal favorite of these is the Dynamic Range button. Engaging it activates an extra valve, the same hot rod modification that gave Hendrix and Blue Cheer that perfect harmonically saturated proto-metal tone. And now that tone is mine. The Mid Boost is basically a built-in fuzzbox. It sounds amazing but I keep it off because I prefer the more organic tube overdrive. The Master Volume enables good tone even at low volumes, but o'course it rips much better cranked. The preamp volume is divided into Body (enhances lower ranges)and Detail(enhances upper ranges). The 3-band eq is nice and responsive, but I just turn 'em all to 10, along with the aforementioned preamp volumes. The reverb is just so-so but that's ok 'cause I never use it. I use the AVT series 4x12 cabs 'cause they have that huge bottom end that I love along with my trusty Smellypastor guitar, which gives some twang. I use no pedals.

Amazing Classic Rock Machine!

Posted by Giovanni from Daegu, South Korea on Jul 5, 2008

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Musician

Reviewer's Play Style: Classic Rock, Blues, Modern Rock/Punk

Although this is an expensive amp, the pure, classic rock tone along with easy to use and unique features makes it a Marshall that needs to be owned by anyone who enjoys rock, blues, or any type of music that involves a guitar as the main instrument. I was afraid that this thing wouldn't be versatile enough to cover some of the newer stuff, but after getting used to its detail and body knobs and highly effective mid boost switch, I found a variety of sounds that all stem from a core tone that I and many famous musicians (Slash, Malmsteen, Aldrich, etc...) have never heard before. All of the musicians I listed and more are now using it and the only problem with this amp, its price, doesn't become a serious issue when you realize the money you have to spend to get an amp that comes anywhere near this one in terms of tone, variety, and simplicity. It looks sweet, sounds sweet, and will make you sweet without blowing out your ears (at first), don't hesitate to buy this if you enjoy to ROCK!
