Marshall Vintage Modern 2266

[winwin997]

Are the transformers as good as UK made radiospares or Drake?

[paul113757]

Great demo Andy i just ordered one with a 1960a 4x12.

[Danthehorse]

Now if they did this in a lower watt format.....

[paul113757]

How well would this amp do the Guns & Roses tone with a Les Paul.

[andy25794]

@paul113757 one word. very.

[snickepie95]

Whats the son at 6:10 ???

[DesireBros]

@snickepie95 It kind of sounds like Susie Q by CCR but i could be wrong.

[Jimmy87268]

when he took out the telecaster i skipped the video, because i think, marshall don´t goes with a fender.....

i play my marshall only this gibsons (SG or mostly LP) !!

I have tried the telecaster of my friend with this amp... never again, i really don´t like this sound!

[reaperpro]

great demo. at first, I was like "sounds nice, but I could get any old Ampeg V4 or B25 to nail those tones..." but as he kept tweaking I kept thinking of all the practical uses I could have for such an amp as this. I give it a big ol' thumbs up.

[mikelilloillo]

incredible amp... I have used but I dont like the fact that it has just one channel,,, everything else is great

[xtremeassassin1]

delicious sounds...



[treasuremen]

i have this amp and it sounds superb, BUT I HATE THE FUCKING MID-BOOST (and the body knob always at 0, or at least 3 but no more)

[vincentzwarthoed]

Nice amp, and great taste of music, love the dire straits

[MarkThomasMusic]

***HELP*** Is there anyway to get a more even volume between the low and the high? It's either too quiet on the low if I set the high volume 1st, or too loud (on the high) if I set the low volume 1st. any suggestions would be GREATLY appriciated!! Thanks!!!

[MrSkAtEfReAk12]

0:47 is psychologicly mindfucking us so we'd wanna buy Marshall. It's also done with Cola's etc in cinema's, bu-t kinda dissapointing PGS would also use certain 'mindtricks' to help the sales.

However, I could be wrong, I'm a great PGS/Andy-fan, but I just happened to see this and feel like this is a technique I wouldn't expect from you guys. If I am indeed wrong, you have all my genuine apologies!

[omfg51]

@MrSkAtEfReAk12 what in the world are you talking about?

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

@omfg51 Subliminal message.

[grzegorz206]

@MrSkAtEfReAk12 i've watched this video a few times, but i didn't see that at 0:47 before. Untill i read your comment i didn't realize it was there. Funny...

[ilovebellamy]

One of the best clean tone i ever heard

[SweetSpotGuitar]

Party foul: "Sultans of Swing" on a Les Paul. :) Nice playing.

[LiLhusLLa094]

@zeppelinlive1960 ive played this amp and it does break up like a plexi at higher volumes

[LiLhusLLa094]

@zeppelinlive1960 ive played this amp and it does break up like a plexi at higher volumes

[Nickpatient]

Hmm. I want this or a Plexi one day. :D

[61SGman]

im torn between this and an Orange Rockerverb

[fattiesg62]

whats the song at 1:55 i fucking love that song but i cant think of the name

[ObviouslyPliskin]

@fattiesg62 Dire Straits - Sultans Of Swing

[MrSkAtEfReAk12]

Were you running it through a cab with Greenbacks here?

[doctorgone]

What's the difference between KT-66s and KT-88s?

[JBL8863]

@doctorgone The differance is in the pins...KT66 has a quicker break little more bass vs EL34 which has tons of mid gain, both are the same style pins and center plug...The KT88 is pretty much the same as a 6L6 with a differant breal up point.

All tubes have optional tubes to change out as long as the pins are the same...Swapping them effects the sound of the tone 100% especially if you can afford to experiament.

[n94krisa]

Can i use this amp to Bullet for My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, escape the fate or this heavy type of music??? Thnks for the answer. :D

[functfusion]

@n94krisa you would probably be better off with an amp with more gain for that sort of stuff. Like a Mesa Boogie Dual/Triple Rectifier or Peavey 6505.

[keeffan49]

what's the name of the first song?

[coronier]

@keeffan49 unchained - van halen

[artistwillet]

Love it!

[ThePhallystorm]

JVM, or VM?????

[DylanB003]

@ThePhallystorm vm, if u want crazy metal tones, jvm, if u want in ur face, kickass tone, go vm, the jvm sounds pretty cheap tho, the vm is the best sounding amp ive ever heard, but ve never played threw a jcm800 or plexi

[zeppelinlive1960]

i have tried this amp in a shop and its horrible, it sounds nothing like a plexi or a jcm 800.....it is as thin as a wafer biscuit....its another marshall piece of junk, same as the shitty dsl amp....full on processed sound....I really sat and played around with it for a bit....but it sucks......if they were that good why does nobody use them...?

[philippe10000]

@zeppelinlive1960 hahaha nobody use them? Slash uses the Marshall Vm amp :P

[hawg427]

@zeppelinlive1960 Robin Trower uses a Vintage Modern. He's been around awhile. :-)

[kittykiller897]

@zeppelinlive1960

Did you crank it?

[sierpeman]

@zeppelinlive1960 do you dislkie marshall amps in general?



[MegaFenderstrat]

so is this essentially like having a Plexi and JCM 800 in the same amp?

[utPr3d4ToR]

xd tubes, lol.

I dont like clean sounds :(

[lboyd2506]

Hey guys great demo. What cabinet model is that I am looking for one to pair with my 1987X?

Thanks again.

[klok2350]

What are the settings at the beginning (Unchained!), including midboost and master volume? Sounds great!

@MegaFenderstrat The combo version has dynamic range and reverb foot switches, and from the reviews I've seen I think the other 2266 versions are the same.

[MultiScoffer]

Where is this made and built? Please don't say China!

[Apheliotes501]

@MultiScoffer It says "made in England" on the back ;)

[MegaFenderstrat]

Are the low and igh dynamic range settings foot switchable?

[DubbarFlubbar]

Hi, what microphone is used in this video? Im guessing it's a a royer 121 but im probably wrong.

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@DubbarFlubbar

correct!

[MackenzieLawless]

Sigh . . . one day . . .

[XSweeneyToddX]

could I have all the settings for that fat high gain tone with the tele at the end please.

preamp was all the way the mids backed off, what about the presence and the rest.

Thanks

[fIRsTRATmAN]

love how sultans is being played, your the man!

[fitzeflinger]

my favorite marshall head. and i am usually in heavy rock and metal, but this amp just has something else that i really like. someday i will take one.

[Jtomba06]

what a great sounding and versatile amp.

thanks for an awesome review

[peterstrohm]

Finally a video that shows how versatile this amp really is! Thanks for posting!

[Djdudemiester]

What mic is that? The amp is great but the capturing is classic! / Robert

[NickMass35]

@Djdudemiester Looks like a Royer ribbon mic. Very nice.

[Rikitocker]

My fave Marshall amp since the 800 series!

[ottozing]

UNCHAINED

[kkatarn327]

What's the riff at 3:24??? I know it but I can't put my finger on it, it's driving me crazzzzzzy

[Rob50strat]

what a great amp!!!.. I've had my 2466 for around a month... best amp I've ever owned.. ..btw..who wants to buy a kerry king JCM? :D

[ed0985587]

wow playing snakecharmer brought back some memories! awesome!!

[dzava]

Would it sound with 2x12 as good as with 4x12?

[lostlemming]

@dzava

lol, it'll sound similar, it's the speakers not the size of the cab that gives you your sound...........?

[bic4jesus]

Great tone @ 5:43!

[fattiesg62]

@bic4jesus well its a marshall, expect nothing less of perfect tone



[iplayloud2]

@fattiesg62 All Marshalls are not created equal :(

[CryForPieceOfMind]

sweet amp

[steelwizard]

Sounds great, what cab is that?

[pinemexican]

Love it. i just wish it didnt have that damn blue light.  wtf

[steelwizard]

@pinemexican

I wish it had a plexi or jmp style headshell

[MegaFenderstrat]

@steelwizard buy an empty jmp enclosure, take the 2266 out of its enclosure and stick it in the jmp.

[slysendice]

@MegaFenderstrat The chassis is definitely too long, and it looks like it might be a bit too tall, too. JMP chassis was about half the total length of the Vintage Modern (which is built to look like a JCM800) chassis is.

So it's a good idea, but unfortunately it wouldn't work : /

[victor1997ification]

No pedals? :O

[miller434]

I believe Marshall Majors had kt88's....considering SRV and John Frusciante played majors I'd assume you could get a pretty convincing sound from this for their styles? I mean w/ the songs they played through these amps...obviously not lenny

[jaimey123]

Hey PGS what tele is that..stock pickups? Cuz it sounds mean

[bewolf27]

great stuff man... thanks for the great demo!!! what kind of speakers are in that cab? my guess would be V30's but maybe Greenbacks? thanks for the response.

[varone6t9]

would you guys recommend this amp if you were playing hard rock and doing alot of classic rock like zeppelin,floyd,the who

[pollywoggle24]

There doesn't seem to be many people who can play that Aerosmith song properly 3:33. I must record it for the good people. This is an alright amp. All the low range areas sound just spectacular... but for whatever reason when you cut in that high range with the boost switch on the pedal you get a ridiculously unnecessary amount of volume coming through. If you're cranking that low range plexi sound and push that boost the head will probably fall off. Wish they had a separate master.

[cacaomaskine]

@pollywoggle24 Which song is it?

[tiberiusgrunge]

I've tried two of these. They are unspeakably brilliant - there is however really crappy

compression on the audio of this clip.

[slysendice]

@tiberiusgrunge I'm with you. I've tried one of these -- Fantastic! This YouTube video doesn't even compare to the way it really sounds.

[RoyvanRikken]

I like the way you aproach "sultans of swing" !!!!!!!!

[nine9live5]

how much does the head cost btw?

[nine9live5]

Nice amp

[smackenurjunk]

what the hell is that annoying low sound when hes playing the telecaster?

[41224jason]

@smackenurjunk that's called an E string.

[cameronc20]

pcb junk lol jcm 800 video come on guys need a kick ass video asap.

[Beermaker2000]

This seems like the type of amp that you start noodling with at 6pm and the next thing you know it's 3am...

[jeds31290]

Andy what is your favorite amp to play through?

[SkankerxD]

This is made in England?

[dorianpsycho13]

what's the song at 1:50-2:00 ?

[zhicks994]

@dorianpsycho13 Sultans of Swing - Dire Straights ( not sure if I spelled that right)

[lespaulman1]

I dont like the sound of those KT66's at all. They should have put EL34's in it IMO

[karmabites1]

Great demo. Showed a lot of different tones and settings most other vids don't. I'm buying one this week, and this vid helped make my decision. Thanks!!!!!

[1akez1]

I´m going to play alternative rock like radiohead or mars volta what is the best amp for me? ac30 or vm? ty!

[kingdong001]

does anyone reckon they know what mic he is using there?

[JBL8863]

What's the differance between the 2466 and this one?

[MrLordshanks]

@JBL8863 watts, this video is for the 50watt, the 2466 is 100watts

[tremolo73]

I wonder what cabinet (and speakers) he is using. I love the tone, especially with the Tele. Nice job, but tell us what cab you are using!!!

[heolfanog]

@tremolo73 I think it is the 1960 AX cabinet with greenbacks.

[Mikeoo21]

I own one of these and love it except one thing...it desperately needs a dedicated volume control for the second channel. The difference in volume from overdriven to clean will make you jump and then scramble for the volume control on your guitar. That said the tone is awesome and very modifiable. It was between this and the plexi 1987x and this just had more to offer IMHO.

[surfnorthwest1]

@Mikeoo21 The Vintage Modern is not a two channel amp, it is a single channel amp with two dynamic ranges. It is meant to be played using your guitar volume control (old School) to dial in the tones. In the right hands the best sounding Marshall today.

[PrsFenderJackson1980]

Will you be posting a vid with the Marshall AFD100?

[Jakubqoful]

what is the name of song in the beginning?

[isvoid]

@aituaitz ... who the f*ck is andy knopfler? lolwtfzomg

[chrislpp]

tyoobz sound so much wamer yea i a guitarist and i think if it isnt tyooob its crap

i have tubbbe preamps

tube compresssor

tube computer

tube in my ass

tube chorus

tube pedulz

tube amp MG100DFX

[paparazzi3p]

@chrislpp LOLOLOL best youtube comment i've ever read

[meticadpa]

@chrislpp An MG100DFX isn't a tube amp you retard, it's a terrible solid state amp.

[Jacksonkellyfreak]

@meticadpa the mg100 aint that bad. it isnt as good as a tube, but mine is capable of really nice warm tones with the help of a digitech gnx in the fx loop and a digitech rp500 running into the front end.

[DoubleEdgedSword12]

@meticadpa thats the joke *facepalm

[OCNmeticadpa]

@chrislpp Hahahahaha, MG100DFX is a tube amp? No.

[martyfriedman86]

@chrislpp while there are many great sounding solid-state amps, i beleive marshall MGs are along the worst sounding amps ever.

peavey and create SS amps sound a lot better, no fancy fx though..

[AdamDallas]

@chrislpp Why do you think they called it youTUBE??

[Macsk8ing]

@chrislpp I SUCK, All I have is digital shit, Im willin to sell all that junk and buy true tube stuff.

[syfman7]

@Macsk8ing Good idea. You have finally saw the light!

[fattiesg61]

@chrislpp sir...the mg100, or any of the mgs actully are not tube amps, i know , i have used them all my life, there solid state

[furbycommando94]

@fattiesg61 i think he knows, hes just making fun of tube snobs lol

[guitarist6791]

Some employees also told me to turn down the volume on a haze 15 stack. That makes me mad.

[MrLordshanks]

I know this amp isnt advertised as doing rock really but i think its a great head for the early kinda rock. I think Led Zep would sound great played through this amp.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@MrLordshanks Marshall have always been rock machines. Andy is mainly playing classic 70's tunes to show this as well. You are right, Zep and Marshall go hand in hand. Thanks for watching!

-PGS

[ZDALI14]

@ProGuitarShopDemos does the distortion of a fulltone fulldrive sound like the distortion of this marshall amp sound same in your opinion

[freiture]

@ProGuitarShopDemos pGs PLEASE HELP ME, I'M WANT TO BUY AN AMP, BUT I'M HAVING TROUBLE TO CHOOSE IT! I LIKE THIS AMP AND THE PLEXI. WICH ONE SHOULD I CHOOSE FOR GETTING THAT 70-80S VAN HALEN-AEROSMITH TONE!?!?!

[jakemk21]

@freiture Hey, I'm basically looking for the same sound. It sounds like the Vintage Modern is damn good, along with 1959SLP reissue, and maybe the JVM205H. If you find out something let me know. For Van Halen-kinda stuff, you should also make sure you have a pickup that's gonna give plenty of output,.

[dzava]

@ProGuitarShopDemos is it possible to play Guns N Roses on it? Or Iron Maiden? Or with extra gainy pedals some Megadeth? because I love that crunchy 70s tone... and I think I wouldnt get this kinda tone from the JCM800 and perhaps this is more versatile than JCM

[travisbutlerrocks]

@dzava Slash played through Vintage Moderns until he released his signature amp

[solerso68]

@ProGuitarShopDemos that corny "ratt" hook sounds so much better played on one of these rather than the solid state amp it was recorded on.

[somaelixir]

@ProGuitarShopDemos PLEXI at 4:54!!!! TO THE TEEE

[guitarsalert]

@MrLordshanks page played orange amps

[smackenurjunk]

@guitarsalert Page mostly played Marshalls

[BrownBrown90]

@MrLordshanks

Of course it's for playing rock. It's based on the same design used for the limited edition JH100 Hendrix model.

[OyvindBjorgo]

@MrLordshanks I've gotten a vintage modern head to do a pretty good late 80's, early 90's type death metal tone, so it doesn't really stop at early hard rock such at Led Zeppelin. :) (And no, I'm not talking a scooped mids, no-balls crappy death metal tone, I'm talking boosted mids, classical roar, tear your face off Marshall death metal tone.)

[thezombiebrew]

@MrLordshanks How isn't this amp advertised as being used for rock? Thats what marshall is for!

[TheMusicDude1997]

@MrLordshanks you're in the wrong place.

[TheMusicDude1997]

@MrLordshanks what the F*CK are you talkin about ?! marshall are made for ROCK !

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Strateuphoria The switching is not your typical clean-dirty channel. It basically switches between Vintage and Modern Marshall amp types. So, a volume increase is expected when you increase gain and the body of the tone.

-PGS

[Skyboundband]

i take it is a tube amp?

[TheLesPaul101]

I'm confused. is it a modern amp or a vintage amp? I play more modern so if it is a modern amp it is definately for me.

[ibanezman007]

@TheLesPaul101 It's sounds like a souped up vintage marshall or a normal modern amp (think paul gilbert).

[freiture]

UNCHAINED!!!!!

[LesCrapio]

Isn't its distortion more fuzzy than traditional Marshall's?

[murfdog19]

@LesCrapio He has a little too much Body dialed in which makes it fizzy.

[skurtix]

Andy Van Halen!

[aituaitz]

@skurtix what about andy knopfler??

[XSweeneyToddX]

what are the speakers on that cab?

would that head be better with de vntage modern cab or the 1960A?

[JCN1218]

This is one of the few actual demos on youtube, and I was blown away. THAT'S what tone sounds like. I can't wait to get to Guitar Center to try this amp out. Thanks for the video!

[LesCrapio]

That's what a demo is.

[theShowStopper321]

Is there really that big of a difference between KT66 and EL34? Cus when he played Unchained it sounded like Edward live in the early 80s but a lot quieter.

[ZosoD93]

the clean demo for me at 2 mins sold it for me, that is one of the nicest sounds for me personally you can get, then further on in the vid my mind was just destroyed at the perfect crunch oh my yes pay day please

[tatsandteles]

@ZosoD93 And all out of a Marshall. Great amps. Hopefully they are reliable.

[OnzaJK]

My VM doesn't sound as bright as this, i'm even using the same pickups. :S

[II6bulletII]

this amp is pretty amazing man

[calwee3]

sultans of swing sound pro thro this amp man

[cameronc20]

would sound better with 34s i think sounds good tho...

[rawr0more0like0BOOM]

unchaind

[grzegorz206]

at 3:05 Problem Child :DDD the sound is perfect :DDD

[jp6l6]

If I'm right, you'r not using the Vintage Modern cab ?

[hardrockerdave94]

@jp6l6 If the speakers are stock, then that it a 1960 cab with greenbacks in.

[QuadroGuitarist]

I saw this amplifier in a shop today, without the head. for £259, do you need the head? or can you play without it?

[Ande5865]

@QuadroGuitarist You can buy the combo. That is the amplifier with a speaker of it's own. If it is the cabinet, you need a head.

[247Metal]

@QuadroGuitarist You probably saw only the cabinet without the head. Which isn't an amplifier, just speakers in a box. XD

[fridgeslayer94]

@QuadroGuitarist HAHA, no you can't it's just speakers in a box without the head. The head IS the amp

[RicardoDiazHimself]

@QuadroGuitarist Nooooooooooob!!!!!!

...sorry, i couldnt resist :p

[thehornypuppy]

@QuadroGuitarist Yeah you can play without a head...go and buy it...it will be the best buy you'll ever make in your life!

[pottedmeat42]

Unchained

[xXSlashBoiXx]

whats the first song he plays? i completely forgot :l

[flyhi94]

@xXSlashBoiXx unchained-van halen

[xXSlashBoiXx]

@flyhi94 Thankss :)

[Fulcrand76]

@xXSlashBoiXx It's a VanHalen song but don't remember the exact name
