I packed up My Gibson SG, Fender Limited edition Fat Strat w/active EMGs and my GNX3 and headed for my local Guitar Center and Sam Ash to check out the 'The Big Amps". It was kinda fun watching them inventory my stuff and fill out the paperwork. This has to be some of the tightest security I've ever seen! I tried every high gain amp and cab combo I could. I mean Crate, Mesa Boogie, Randall, Marshall, Vox and a couple 'off' brands. Honestly, every one of the major brands ROCKED BIG TIME. I wanted a couple of them, but I'm not rich. They all had good points and poor points. I have a Crate 120w combo, but I was after some sort of stack and wanted higher volume (read in Tim 'Tool Time' Taylor type POWER VOLUME). I didn't want to pay for a full stack, but wanted the sound and power. I got it, This was the Amp for me.

The FX loop is way cool. I also like the Amp2 mid three way switch, the EQ mid works with it, both Amps scoop switches work with the EQs too. Having tube preamps means it sounds better loud. This bad boy is LOUD. I chose the 400A cab as to get the full 350 watts from a half stack. I thought the MF cabs easily sounded the best with the MF head, and I tried other cabs because the MF cab is a couple hundred bucks more. I try and get the most for my money. The 400A cab is 8ohms. The 400 cab needs to be plugged into the number 2 plug. The 280 cab in #1 for half stack or both for full stack. There's a chart on the back of the head. This is to match up the impedence of the speaker cab to the amp. The 280 at half stack is 235watts, still not shabby. The angled (A) cab produces a more cutting upper mid and treble that I liked over the (base) B cab. When you 'tweak' the controls for the first time turn the knob quickly from side to side to understand the amount of variation of the tonal control. You can make the amp sound bad to you (to each his own 'bad') by over adjusting the tone from your liking. The Marshall has a definate 'sweet' spot. There is just that much adjustment available in the tones. The manual is available from the Marshall web site. Pay attention to the hints and tips. The balanced outputs for silent recording are awesome. I get the tones through the recorder and don't have to worry about the cab volume. I do have to add bass if I don't mike the cab due to the deep sound of the cab vs. straight to the recorder through the head. I also hook up my amps the the PA and this feature makes it a breeze. I play every style of Rock and Blues and I can get whatever tone I want out of the Mode Four. I also get those tones at extremely high volume. Too Cool

I had to buy a clamp on console light for the head strap handle and color in the dots on the adjustment knobs to see them at low light levels. I think I'll hit my local gun shop for 'dots' like you use on night sights. Marshall should do this. I had to tighten my knobs when I got it. It needs one more handle on each side of the cab as it's heavy. Don't expect your girl friend to help you, no offense ladies, but my wife could really hurt herself tryin' to help me muscle this beast up on stage. The cab weighs in at about 150lbs.

Please, it's a Marshall. It is extremely heavy as it weighs in at about 150lbs.
Seems tough as hell. No major brand of amp I know if is built 'cheap', or nobody would use them due to the high replacement cost.

As far as looks go this is one badass amp.
It's beautiful as well as intimidating. I love the tones and the volume of my Marshall Mode Four Half Stack w/400A cab.
I'm already recording with it. I swear sometimes she....it gives me wood.

Hybrid amp head, preamp tube (12AX7), section transistor amp, 350W, effects loop, mono, 4-channel switch solo, reverb.

UTILIZATION

4-channel amplifier configuration (2 x 2 channel amp)
AMP1 setting common channels CLEAN and CRUNCH.
AMP2 common setting OD1 and OD2 channels.
I would rather have four completely independent channels.

SOUNDS

The clean channel (1 amp, channel 1) is one such model. With GAIN control is adjusted warming subtle sound while maintaining a broadband frequency response. The transistor provides amplification due to its capacity reserve keeps a dynamic and frequency response for an incredible amp. All tube amps compress the sound and eat the treble, there is not the case! This is probably the channel clear reference to Marshall (and others!)

The crunch channel (1 amp, channel 2) is just as good. It should exaggerate the gain of this amplifier is then due to the volume of the guitar that we choose the level of distortion. As the lamp compresses the sound on that channel, no concern for volume (it remains at the same volume on 3 / 4 the volume knob on the guitar). The dynamics of the game on the strings of the guitar allows an excellent mix of distortion. This channel has a crunch on the Marshall, but is much better than other amps of the brand with the precise dosage of the distortion. Attention guitar volume background, level of distortion is extreme.

The overdrive channel 1 (2 amp, channel 1) is the classic 4. This is equivalent to a channel saturated Marshall tube amps. No surprise the sound Marshall is there. It still feels a huge reserve of power under the fingers (used only on channel 4).
Using an equalizer in the effects loop allows you to boost bass and treble without the power amplifier is undermined. So you can sculpt the sound at will if necessary.

Finally, the overdrive channel 2 is really the channel is more saturated than Marshall ever made. The preamp section saturates the sound over a wide frequency band. Mid control can work to get the sounds made a very powerful bass. This channel is really new to a Marshall amp and really sets this amp head.

Bafle 4x12 "indispensable, I use a 1960 factory cutaway (not tampered), the sound is softer than the equivalent Bafle MF. Matter of taste.

OVERALL OPINION

In summary, this head is surprisingly sound and power. The choice of a hybrid (tube preamp + amplifier transistor) could discourage me at the base, but the sound is quite the go thanks to the excellent preamp tube. The powerful amplifier section (350W into 8 ohms) provides a record of its broadband, plus the ability to play high and low volume without taint the sound would be equivalent to the lamp.
Channels 1, 2 and 4 are the strengths of the head, the channel 3 is more conventional but useful to keep the Marshall distortion.
Finally hybrid technology has the advantage of being less fragile (same preamp section, but without amplification section power tube) for musicians who are running.

Although the head can not compete directly with a Diezel VH4 head type (the reference!), It has the sound and dynamics Marshall and more. It is really the high end at Marshall, it is not nothing!

I think this is a very good choice. The price is not excessive if you already have a 4x12 "indispensable.

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use, the Mode Four is unique We just turn a few buttons and you get the sound you seeing rock, metal ...

SOUNDS

Ingal versatility in Marshall, a high level of Facilities and rglages to achieve the sound we seeing, all with a huge level of saturation, the Mode Four is a unique habit Marshall and violent! I play over the last few months I'm really happy trs, rock, screamo, metal is just do everything with, I play this amp with a gibson sg. a little crush on the reverb is well sympas.cette head is Designed not only for guitarists 7-string guitars users or dtunes thanks dlivrant channel saturations standards and supplements, but also love classical sounds of the brand.

OVERALL OPINION

Trs really happy with many possibilities of saturation of the clean is much more dynamic it really is an ultra versatile amp I use it for a few months and if I had to do a choice I will buy an amp The MF350!

350 watt amp, tube preamp, amplification transistors. So a mix of both.

In after me is the important point of the head, the hybrid!

One gains the advantage of having a very good sound of low volume, as a high volume!
Then, a second advantage to keep a little transistor is not saturated clear sound!

I do not dwell on the possible settings, they already are a retailer!

PRESICION, which seem to me important, the head has emulated output, saving for example, am going out with jack or XLR)

UTILIZATION

The setup is classic, and should not have three years to find his sound.

The matrix is ​​a real tone +, which I think has to adjust the amp and used guitar sound you want.

Nennmoin, I put a caveat, because on Channel 1, the pitcher and the clean sound is not balanced, the crunch is far too strong relative to its clear Daprès me he will make a choice between the two

SOUNDS

I was looking for the ultimate in versatility, having already a versatile guiare (PRS CE24

OVERALL OPINION

I own it for a week, but get a good sound was very fast,

What I like most is the sound, versatility, looks, power! Everything!

What I regret is a channel volume level CRUCH Balanced with clean sound. But ...

A 650 € + baffle head 400 watt oven mode, yes I would do this choice.

And if I had to buy new, I would do also.

I was not ashamed of all side lights

Hybrid amplification (all already been said above)
Transistor and power amplifier tube preamp
In effect: reverb (very effective)
Power 350 watts - it sends configuration sévére

UTILIZATION

not very simple because there are so many possibilities with that of its head
no manual (since bought used)
obtained by well nag, easily a good sound, vintage sound on the other hand is not her thing too, to avoid
But for a treat TRASH METAL

SOUNDS

it is perfect for my style of music: Trash Metal style EXODUS, KREATOR
I play guitar with a EMG 81 Jackson mounted, it rocks viciously
The reverb is really nice compared to other MESZ head amp (Peavey xxl, Bugera 333XL, Randall rh150g3) disto it even surpasses the others, although the BUGERA 333XL is pretty good at distortion guts, but he possessed a distortion over

OVERALL OPINION

only do this one week than I have, I'm always on the ass
Used in the price remains affordable for the upscale home of Marshall, and yet I was not a fan of this mark for large metal distortion, then I'm amazed
