First of all I really like the videos you've posted of the Vintage Modern 2266. I'm getting myself one soon and especially this video has helped me choosing the amplifier and the cabinet as well. However I got a little confused about your Vintage Modern(s). On the Marshall Amp Shootout video it says that the amp is 2466 instead of 2266 so I am not sure which it is. I'm definitely getting myself the 2266 and I'd like to know if the 50 watts is enough with a cabinet with 4 G12T-75s.
Thanks for the fantastic demo. I've messed with a ton of cabs and speaker combos, and the scary thing is perfectly illustrated here: identical speakers in nearly identical cabinets can sound very different. G12T75's can sound great in one 4X12 and thin/piercing in another 4X12. I'll be deaf by the time I find the perfect speaker/combination.Currently leaning towards V-30's and WGS 55Khz G12h with the JCM-800. I also have a pair of speakers in a 1978 2X12 Marshall that I cant identify. HELP!
Excellent video!!! I found that the Greenbacks sound like Scorpions (excellent!!!), the Slash cab sounds like Slash and (to my ears) the G12T-75s sound awful! I have a 1960A with G12T-75s and have replace two of them with V30 clones. It helps, but am afraid that I'm going to have to get some Greenbacks (I'd love a 1960TV)... I found it very, very interesting how different the Slash cabinet and the Legacy sounded with the only real differenc in how the speakers are loaded (front vs. rear).
@BB2009LZ hi. a question, did you changed your g12t 75 with other speakers? and maybe did you mixed them for example vg30 and gt1275 ? i would like to change or mix mines, and i need some help.. thx
i have to admit: this amp sound FANTASTIC with the G12c.. i have g12t75 wich i guess sound better for modern metal tone, and g12c for vintage classic sound.
really liked the greenbacks and actually, the g12T-75's and V30's too! considering a marshall cab with g12T-75's can be found fairly easy, I think I'll try and fetch one if buy a vintage modern!
You can really hear the difference between the marshall vintage 30 and the celestion. The marshall ones tend to be a little smoother and more bottom end. They are slightly different
Wow. This head is really picky with respect to its speakers - LOVE the sound with the VM speakers, and to a lesser extent, the JCM Slash cab, but I despise every other cabinet with this amp. But I guess it's all about getting the mix right - these things sound downright godly with the VM cabinet.
Hi. I've currently got a Mesa Dual Rectifier which I use at home with a THD and it's dead quiet when I stop playing. I was thinking about getting this head aswell but was wondering if you get any noise from it?
@bigeddie38 I've got a Mesa Mark III and a Vintage Modern 50 watt that I run through a 2x12 and it gets everything from clean Plexi to hotrodded Plexi and SLO tones from! Its a great compliment to the Mesa. Goodbye Orange Tiny Terror! The VM also records AWESOME!
Very insightful demo. I was originally told cabinet speakers don't make a difference in sound. Obviously, that was a false statement. Really digging on the G12T-75's. Going to pick some up and see what I've been missing out on. Thanks for the informative vid.
The first cab sounds great, the slash cab sounds kinda muddy, the G12T-75 cab sounds not bad, the Carvin Legacy cab sounds a bit muddy, the peavy cab sounds a bit muddy and kinda harsh, the Silver Jubilee sounds good, the 1936 is sounds the best of all the V30 cabs, the 1922 sounds also okay, the fender cab doesn't sound bad but there's a lack of top end.
Very good demo. I use two cabs, you know I run stereo, one 1960 with g12t-75's the 1960 with vin 30's. I get an amazing sound. I like the demo of the Fender cab. But I struggle with Emenince speakers. I have 2 4/12 with lady lucks in them. I wish someone would take them off my hands. For me it's Marshall or nothing. But to each his own. Every guitar player needs to find their own sound.
ya i gotta say that since there are no mids being used on the demo and the head is still crunching like crazy this is a bad ass head i just dunno if i want this or the JVM210HCF Head out of celestion speakers anyone have some advice
Argh, trenger nok å skifte ut mitt 1960A cab med en 1960 som har V30's eller Greenbacks. Litt for mye diskant/High-end med 75w celestion høyttalerne i 1960A kabinettet,
@Elsoddo Depends what u like soundwise. As you can hear they all sound different. Go for the one yu like the most. Also depends on music style. The 12T75's have a more modern sound & are more agressive - less mids - more bottom. Greenbacks a more old school rock - blues etc ... It's all personal preference ...
I can hear the difference between the cabs clearly...
My opinion is that the VM cabinets doesn't have as much fat tone as the Vintage '30 Slash cab... But you are right the 2266 head has the original vintage tone with the VM cabinet...
Great video, I've heard nothing but good things about this amp. I'm in the market to buy a Marshall myself, and I've been leaning towards a DSL. However, I've seen quite a few VMs on e-bay in my price range. I was curious, would you say the VM could match the gain of a DSL? I know they're both good, which one do you prefer?
do i really have to use a box or is the head enough??? so the head just works good without the box .im asking that because im about to buy the vt. and all the online shops suggest to buy a certain box with it.sorry i am a noob.
@anuar1978 What do you mean by box? If you are talking about the "box" the head is sitting on, that is the speaker cabinet. The head does not contain speakers, it's just an amplifier. If you buy the head you will need a speaker cabinet as well. If you buy the combo version, which is the amp and speakers all in one, you will not need to buy a speaker cabinet.
@gtrmanno I'm now looking at a Ceriatone 100w plexi. Nik (at Ceriatone) built my JTM45 which I used to run with Greenbacks and it was awesome!!! Better than the reissue Bluesbreaker I used to have. I think I'll have to get a master volume put though. Cant decide wether the 50 or 100w..... neither will get used at full volume!
@davidlanham99 Always use the same. If the speaker is 8 use the 8 on the amp. 16 on speaker = 16 on amp. If u connect 2 cabs use 16 on both cabs and 8 on the amp.
@gtrmanno so, with 8, 16, 16 you're getting half the resistance from the amp, to cover too cabinets? I'm doing 16, 16, 16 now. That's going to screw it up by working the amp too hard?
Ok, I give up. Why do the 425 greenback 25 watt speakers sound better and cost more, than the 1960 75 watt celestions? The 1960 is 300 watts and the 425 is only 100 watts.
To me, the 425A sounded the best! I have the 2x12 combo of the VM with those G12Cs and a Marshall MC212 with 'specially-voiced 12" 65W Celestions'. I love the way G12Cs give a nice open-but-midrangey sound, the REAL Marshall-tone. The extra cabinet is just for looks. :D
@ArttuAce I agree, it's obvious about the 425 sounding better. But I'm wondering if that's just from the settings and the YouTube making it just sound better.
wow man! great video! i was thinking about what (slash) sound would go best with the vintage modern.,.and i actually think the 1960 with G12T-75's would go do the job of the appetite for destruction sound..you think so two?? grtz
@jeudhas Yes i agree because in the late 80s when he recorded his guitar tracks for appetite he use a marshall 1960 4x12 with G12-75s (which have a much heaver tone to them) then when he recorded Use Your illusion (1+2) he use a Marshall 4x12 with vintage 30s for a more cleaner brighter distortion. (all were celestion brand speakers)
@jeudhas Slash uses V30 speakers so that will be closer but the G12T-75's will work as well. Just remember to add lots of mids on the amp when using the G12's
this is a nice amp head, and the playing is good, but it sounded really cold and sterile. i know its just the quality of the video, and not the amp, but i thought id point out the obvious to anyone thinking about buying this amp thats its definitely gonna have a more lively sound in person. no offense to gtrmanno. the playing is good. just the quality of the recording. but its really interesting to see how different it sounds through the different cabinets. even with the asme speakers in some.
@greendayrokr Using a videocam the sound quality will not be up to par, but as say it is very easy to hear the differences between the cabs .. which was the reason I did this video.
I like the vintage modern cabinet, the jcm slash cabinet, 1936v, 1922, and the 1960a. the one i liked the least was the carvin legacy, the mids were very harsh.
Nice post. I am also a huge fan of the VM 425 cabs. Check out my video paired with my Bogner Classic. I've got tons of cabs as well - will do a comparison of my G12H AHW Marshall cab.
I have to say that out of all these cabs, the 2x12" 1936v cab is probably the best sounding cab in this comparison. At least to me it does. The Slash Vintage 30 cab sounds quite good, as does the G12c cab. Don't like the G12-75's at all. Much too grindy/harsh. Love the sound of the 2x12" 1936v cab; it has the magic!
Yeah, "fat" is the word I'd use also, to describe the sound of this particular 1936 cab. For some reason, it just seems to have a nice tight, fat sound. This is a great video; I'm glad someone finally had the insight to do a good Celestion comaprison/demonstration.
HOLY CRAP you got a lot of cabinets! I like the vintage 30's, gives a better bottom end chunk. But greenbacks sound killer too. That amp sounds good through about anything!
Great video! Shows the 75's are clearly inferior to even the Peavy speakers! I have to either get me some Greenbacks for my 1960B, or buy a 425B cab for my 2266!
brilliant video...im not keen on the t75s..they sound fizzy..too trebly whereas the vintage 30s on the carvin always come through lush.t75s malmsteens fave
not too many really...from this video i would be keen to get vintage 30s..i was always keen..they are supposed to be very popular...they mentioned on the celestion website alot

Is the Marshall Silver Jubilee the same or smaler than the Marshall MG412 cabinet?

great demo. I like the 1922. It's funny how a Marshall head into a Fender cab can sound so....Fendery.

I like the vintage modern cabinet, the jcm slash cabinet, 1936v, 1922, and the 1960a. the one i liked the least was the carvin legacy, the mids were very harsh.

..and others prefer the Carvin cabinets. Sometimes the differences are all personal preference. Go with what works best for you !

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It has helped me make a decision on what speakers I want. Much appreciated...

I love the 1960A, such a tight sound.
But the 425a VM cab was pretty sweet aswell...
I wonder how they will sound both together...

i've heard these vm's sound amazing through 1960TV's. Ihaven't played one yet, but i will.

I think it will sound pretty similiar to the 425's

Nice post. I am also a huge fan of the VM 425 cabs. Check out my video paired with my Bogner Classic. I've got tons of cabs as well - will do a comparison of my G12H AHW Marshall cab.

Greenbacks FTW!

I have to say that out of all these cabs, the 2x12" 1936v cab is probably the best sounding cab in this comparison. At least to me it does. The Slash Vintage 30 cab sounds quite good, as does the G12c cab. Don't like the G12-75's at all. Much too grindy/harsh. Love the sound of the 2x12" 1936v cab; it has the magic!

Have to agree with you there...
If I was going to blindly buy a VM and cab based on this video, it would definitely be the 1936V...
Only cab that really sounded like it had some fat to it...
xXxJanKxXx 2 years ago
Yeah, "fat" is the word I'd use also, to describe the sound of this particular 1936 cab. For some reason, it just seems to have a nice tight, fat sound. This is a great video; I'm glad someone finally had the insight to do a good Celestion comaprison/demonstration.
Cheers buddy!

Thanxs .. :-)
I would have loved to see something similar before I got mine that's why I did it ...

Greenbacks for me. much crisper and thicker but maybe more mids needed on that cab if you weren't comparing.

Obviously I would dial in the eq towards whatever cab I am using if I am playing on one particular cab.
gtrmanno 2 years ago
HOLY CRAP you got a lot of cabinets! I like the vintage 30's, gives a better bottom end chunk. But greenbacks sound killer too. That amp sounds good through about anything!

Have you tried a JVM series? Which did you like better
peanutavalon 2 years ago
Tried the JVM but sold it .. didnt like it at all. Good cleans but found the amp sterile. It was OK but not much more...

The G12C's in the 425A were my favorites for the robust midrange.

Great video! Shows the 75's are clearly inferior to even the Peavy speakers! I have to either get me some Greenbacks for my 1960B, or buy a 425B cab for my 2266!
