What was the volume mate? Im thinking of getting one too 2266, but even though Ill use it for concerts, Id still love to use it as a bedroom amp sometimes cause the MG cant compare to this...
@dzava The Vintage Modern has a post phase inverter master volume, so it sounds good at very low levels. I owned the combo for a year and a half. On stage I would set the master volume to 7 and it rocked. At home I set the master to 0.5 and it still sounded good. So yes, your neighbors won't mind.
Man I love this amp and hope someday to own one! Even the combo vintage modern has a great sound! The guitar is great too and hope to own that as well, I have the PRS SE Singlecut to start. Is that a custom 24?
From what i've seen on your vid's you strayed from what I have now (3 channel dual rect) to a bogner shiva, which sounds awesome too, am i right? I'd love to hear your feedback. I have the closed back mesa cab too, thinking of trying some green backs or another marshall cab, let me know how you like it
All Marshalls i've encountered like to be cranked. Its that power tube saturation that makes a Marshall a Marshall. Any good tube amp sounds better cranked, and the VM is no exception
yeah a 50 watt amp and you can mic it up and play in a stadium with no trouble. It's all about the PA. Now even in a club a 50 watt amp is plenty of ass unless you are not micED up etc. Anyway u get the drift
it would be louder by appx 15% according to the experts. The downside is that a 100 watt head needs to be cranked louder to really heat up those tubes and breakup getting the best sound. To get a 100 watt amp to sound great you need to crank it to volume 6, 7+ which in your house would be s loud and overkill and you're gonna be asked to turn down in clubs too unless you turn down to volume 2 and like having a thin sound in the PA. a 50 watt is PLENTY of power and sounds great at lower volumes
right on. These salesmen in Guitar Center sell to kiddies of rich parents 100watt setups, just to make a sale, but like you said, all they need is 30 to 50 wts at most. They're playing in their bedrooms for gods sake!
a 50 watt tube head compared to a 100 watt tube head is 2 power tubes less and reducing the wattage 50% only accounts for a 15% reduction in sound when going from 100 to 50 watts. So it will still be loud as all hell in your house
You know there are lots of great videos around here that feature the wonderful Vintage Modern amps (this one being one of them)...
However don't all you Youtubers think itd be refreshing to see a Vintage Mod vid that isn't some dude playing the blues and instead some HEAVY METAL SHREDDING??!!
Hey, I have the same amp, just wondering, how many valves are in the back of yours? Mine only has two, not sure if this is right, just that the classic channel seems really quiet.
These heads come in 50 and 100 watt models. The 100 watt models will have 4 KT66s, and the 50 watters will only have 2. The thing is, there won't be much of a difference in volume between the two models, because it takes 10x the wattage to double the percieved volume of a sound. A 50 watt amp is only slightly quieter than a 100 watt amp.
People tend to say that 50 watt amps have less headroom, and a bit more gain. 100 watt heads tend to break up later. Volumewise, however, a 50 watt head is only a few decibels quieter than a 100 watt head.
"Headroom" or "Clean Headroom" refer to when an amp starts to break up into overdrive/distortion. For example, a fender twin reverb has lots of headroom- it doesn't start to break up until very high volumes. On the other hand, an amp such as maybe a
1959slp has fairly little headroom- you start to get overdriven tones while very low on the volume dial. Hope this helps...
It's really a matter of personal preference. Some may prefer an amp with less headroom, and using the volume control on their guitar to go from clean to overdriven sounds. Others may prefer an amp with a clean channel with lots of headroom, and use pedals, or a separate gain channel for dirt. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
so a 50 watt will work perfectly for house volume because you dont have to pull it to a huge volume and disturb your neibourghs to have a breakup or not? (sorry for the bad english)
so a 50 watt will work perfectly for house volume because you dont have to pull it to a huge volume and disturb your neibourghs to have a breakup or not? (sorry for the bad english)
Somewhat. It will depend on the amp. Many 50watt amps will still be very loud at break up. If you are worried about disturbing neighbors, I would recommend an attenuator. The THD hotplate, and Dr. Z Air Brake are two good options. Ted Weber also makes very nice attenuators.
Headroom is usually referring to the point at which an amp starts to "clip" on the clean channel. You might be familiar with the good old sine wave from maths. What happens when an amp starts to clip is the peaks and troughs of the wave literally get clipped off. The onset of this phenomenen called clipping will occur sooner on a lower wattage amp than a higher wattage one hence the term headroom.
Yes you need a cabinet. In terms of tube amps, you can seriously damage a tube head if its not connected to a cabinet. Dont try it. I have first hand experience.

realkissable4eva get a old MESA DUAL RECTIFIER 2 CHANNEL HEAD AND PUT SOME JJ TUBES IN IT I GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT WANTING A MARSHALL AND MY OPINION THERE ARE WAY MANY BETTER SOUNDING AMPS OUT THERE THAT BLOW AWAY MARSHALLS ALL DAY
Marshalls were origanally the british copy of Fender amplification. Obviously it was impossible to completely copy the American fender amp, with british parts. Thus thats where the famous marshall sound came from. Marshall turned out to be a great amplifier company, but a copy nonetheless. (not a very accurate copy though)Fenders are the origanal.
I play hard rock, rock, and classic rock a mix between all 3. I've never played a marshall amp either those have nice clean sounds tho not all but some. What amps do you recomend
what type of music do you play, yes amazing for hard rock, metal, can sometimes have nice cleans but for classic rock led zep acdc nono. What music do you play
marshall is better if you want a more blusy musical sounding distortion, mesa boogie has a more distorted tone that can be a little too distorted for some types of music but most modern musicians use mesa boogie, mesa boogie also has a better clean channel
I have one of these amps and it's tone is far richer than comes over on you-tube. It can be made to sound more 'vintage' or 'plexi' than here. It has a proper KT66 bassiness.
This is a great clip though, and was enough to sell me on the amp.
Yes but there's a big difference in volume between the channels. It's impractical to use like that - better controlled by the guitar volume, as per the blurb.
sounds great even through the mesa boogie cab. marshall really nailed it with this one. metal sounds very chunky, and heavy! Next all you need is a les paul, congrats on the vintage modern purchase though.
Not necessarily true. I have the 2466 100 watt version, not THAT much louder (especially with 25 watt speakers) but has quite a bit more clean headroom....and what a beautiful clean tone it has!
Hey bigdumface,I'm considering to buy a vintage modern but i don't know if buy 50 o 100 watt head.what do you think?and what's the exatly model of your mesa boogie cabinet?do you recomend 4x12 o 2x 12?thanks.
can you give us the settings of the knobs for your sound or approximate if you don't have em any more? that sound (and playing) is fantastic, and i'd love to try to tweak that sound out of my dsl50. it does the dirty semi-driven stuff well and the super heavy, but i'd love to get a good middle ground thing like you have. absolutely wonderful!
oh this amp can play anything you can think of all i play is metal and rock and it kills for the styles. you can play it strait through the amp and it gives a killer tone for metal.
If your thinking of buying one of these amp's. at least test drive the VHT Deliverance along side it.You might be suprised.This is a very nice amp. But the Deliverance D-60&D-120 are insane amp's just a little more expencive.I have the D-120 w/PRS 513 Rosewood.Super tone man!!
hi i have the same amp but am having trouble with a solo boost while gigging. i had the boss ge-1 but the sound just more distorted with no real change in volume . i am looking for a true boost pedal any ideas anyone??? cheers.
RAFFSTD, if you are looking for a clean boost, MXR makes a pedal called a Micro Amp. Pretty solid, no distortion. I had good results from it and it was pretty cheap.
Great sound and playing dude ! I will buy one of these amps today . And it'a in part because of you. And it's nice to see that somebody else than me know the song Down On the Farm... lol Rock on !
angus doesnt use gain AT ALL its all on the clean channel via a 100 watt JTM 45. He just pushes the volume until it breaks up and then uses his guitar volume as a distortion control. but if gain MUST be used keep it below 1'o clock.
iamapirate5888, umm plexis dont have any channel, one channel, no clean or gain, and a jtm45 is only 40 watts, or 30, forgot. he also uses 1987x plexi, and 1959 slp plexi.
Im 15 i have it!

oh this amp can play anything you can think of all i play is metal and rock and it kills for the styles. you can play it strait through the amp and it gives a killer tone for metal.

What drivers are in that Mesa cab? I've been looking at this amp and a vintage 30 cab.

If your thinking of buying one of these amp's. at least test drive the VHT Deliverance along side it.You might be suprised.This is a very nice amp. But the Deliverance D-60&D-120 are insane amp's just a little more expencive.I have the D-120 w/PRS 513 Rosewood.Super tone man!!

hi i have the same amp but am having trouble with a solo boost while gigging. i had the boss ge-1 but the sound just more distorted with no real change in volume . i am looking for a true boost pedal any ideas anyone??? cheers.

You have to remove some leds from the chassis of the amp for an Eq to work properly in the fx loop.

sorry, i dont get it.

RAFFSTD, if you are looking for a clean boost, MXR makes a pedal called a Micro Amp. Pretty solid, no distortion. I had good results from it and it was pretty cheap.

Check out an Xotic BB Preamp. Basically it's a Tube Screamer with more gain if needed or it can clean your guitar up. It's insanely versatile.

angus doesnt use gain AT ALL its all on the clean channel via a 100 watt JTM 45. He just pushes the volume until it breaks up and then uses his guitar volume as a distortion control. but if gain MUST be used keep it below 1'o clock.
As for the demo that amp is the sex :P
iamapirate5888 4 years ago
iamapirate5888, umm plexis dont have any channel, one channel, no clean or gain, and a jtm45 is only 40 watts, or 30, forgot. he also uses 1987x plexi, and 1959 slp plexi.
rockhard33 4 years ago
actually plexi's have 2 channels, a bright and normal channels, they are just not switchable.
guitarsobelisk 4 years ago
Well, I think rockhard meant that there isn't two defined and different channels, like a two channel amp that has a clean and distortion channel.
joshlespaul1952 4 years ago
beautiful clean! stunning completely. distortion wise, get a shitload of gain, and the thing will soar. great playing!

Nice demo & playing man.
I was trying to decide Bluesbreakers Combo, Plexi Reissue or Vintage Modern. I think this vid swung it.
starrchild99 4 years ago
plexi reissue owns every marshall and every amp...don't fall into the "new marshall" fashion...the VM is totally crap..

hes saying when you played back in black that you needed more gain. NOT that the amp doesnt have enough gain for ac/dc...
juggler778 4 years ago

The gain wasnt on full.
