UTILIZATION

The manual ... Y needs a? You plug it on and it sounds! God it sounds!

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock a little old. I love the sounds of the 90s. So yes, this amp suits me to it! We get a little sound to the Led Zep 'to Slash, through many variations. I play it with a Les Paul Slash signature.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few months. This is my first tube amp. I bought OCCAZ and really, I have no regrets! However, all effects (especially OD, Fuzz, distos ...) do not suit him. Currently, I play with a V3 Firesound and Visual Sound Jekyll and Hyde, and frankly, it sounds!
I probably do not have the most suitable firm (a 1936 Lead) but still, I love the sound so I get no regrets!
A remake? Yes! Without a doubt!

Tete 50Watts in conserne ki me (and frankly it is more than enough) a lamp evidement.grosse particularity it is mounted in KT66 (lamps ki was the basis in the JTM45 but also in amps jimi ..... and those of that time tt
for ki do not know the KT66 approaches the 6L6 family ... so rounder and more moileuse the EL34.

level connectivity: effects loop with a choice of ebrayable level .... footswitch between Exit 8 hp or 16 ohm ...

c the front for sex: Reverb (digital "monstrous" and it avoids the worst of sbouing sbouing spring when people jump on the fons of the scene ...)
presence, low, mid, treble, and equalization for the two knobs tt nomes retai simply magical and body, a switch for the preamp and one for the midboost .... a yes and a master volume .. ...
for some it may seem light but for me more than enough .. c

UTILIZATION

It has a vintage by its head and made aspet k'elle either single-channel (but with 2 preamp switchable on foot) and modern because k'on has an effects loop for reverb qualitet a digital ... ...

for use is not complicated or can get what you want tt as his (Marshall recess) so the correction is impressive and as I said more retail knob and body are an outright enooooooooooooooorme.c trip Marshall offered the temp with the head, tt sounds are authentic and obtained a recall necessarily hard ....
despite the buttons should be a bit of time to aprivoiser the beast. For my part I have to try several times before going any tale The possibilities offered by this amp ...

important point the creature is designed for the guitarist who likes to get a host with its volume knob on their guitar .... a use, when you lower the knob of the guitar you lower the gain but not the volume. I cry .. so it's good .....

SOUNDS

As I said above ia between the enormous possibilities of correction and the various guitar you get everything you want ..
For my part I have connected a stratum, an N4, a tele, a les paul, each time we keep the character of the head but the guitar and the fingers do the rest.

I also plug in a number of cabinet: marshall tv (greenback) as RocknRolla, a marshall 1960 and moves around quite neutral, but is outright war or c in a 4 * 12 Mt in vintage orange 30 with the same person N4 I fear the most brutal of metal, most of soaked blues man, the most Rastafarians of stone ... well .....

I play everything I've got a big group of components of rock, I make caf'concert, and also the ball, I peus do with this head, just choose the right guitar ...

OVERALL OPINION

You understood I love everything about this head.
not be afraid to push for what k'elle offers everything a flop in the
and try to have had a lot of different amps, 5150, engl powerball, VHT Pitbull, carvin legacy, all that line6 has ,..... JMP1 rack system, Rocktron, Soldano .....

I say as another guitarist friend bocoup older than me wiser "when you will go around all the amps and you have lost a lot of money you get back or a fender or a marshall .. . he was right the con!!

Euro 1100 has an amp that sounds like this is a miracle

See below.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple but requires time to adapt and understanding to take advantage of every opportunity to the amp (as opposed to a conventional single-channel head).

Indeed, the Vintage Modern series has two separate gain knobs (for the same preamp, normal is the single-channel): Body and Detail
These two settings are acting in opposite directions, the first boosting the treble and one bass.

At first I tended to settle in the opposite direction. But do not be afraid to test all possibilities. One can obtain a range of distos quite impressive.

The other two switches are the important settings Dynamic Range and Mid Boost.

The first is used to boost the amp. In practice it is used as a channel selector (crunch / distortion or bright / crunch according to the settings).
The other, as the name suggests are used to boost the medium. Once engaged, the distos sound much more modern and aggressive.

So like that, it looks a bit complicated but it's worth it to lean on so the possibilities are increased tenfold compared to a conventional single channel head (of the JCM800 has to worry about).

For the note I would not 10/10 because of the digital reverb very inefficient. The same applies to the setting of presence (by habit I rule more than half, but it's very subtle).

SOUNDS

With regard to the sound palette I'm more surprised with time. Crunches are instinctively what is intended and yet this amp in High Dynamic Range and Mid Boost can be switched to obtain distos very modern (but not a high gain head of course).

The clean sounds are not far behind. Playing with the settings and volume of the guitar you get a real clear sound which is rather rare in Marshall.

Of course it will be difficult to move from a totally clear to its saturated fat again because of the nature of the single-channel amp. This will play the guitar volume, as the old (it is really that we can leverage 100% of the potential of the head).

In terms of style, I play punk / hardcore and metal mainly (as what) but also blues and old rock from time to time. If it is clear that this amp is perfect for these last two styles (I have an SG standard and a 1960 Vintage baflle is pure happiness), we can totally take things more "edgy" with the head (as long as there is not a follower of the bidding low and gain). For the punk / hardcore is ideal. For the metal, it was more like hitting the heavy stuff and some old-school but everything is possible (a tube screamer and a noise suppressor at the input may be the case).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several weeks and I appreciate more day by day. I thought I had made a big concession on the possible styles for the benefit of the sound quality but in the end it is not. I play pretty much anything I want with this amp.

I am a fan of plug and play so it suits me perfectly.

I've played on various Marshall (JCM800, 900, 2000, JVM410) and still plays regularly with a Mesa Boogie Solo 50 studio to rehearse. With the JCM800 amp is that I like most. I could not tell if his memory is very close but in return it offers many more possibilities and flexibility than the latter.

Compared to Mesa, I find this amp warmer with more character but also much less metal type.

Compared to a JVM410 there is no comparison so I found this last cold and unusable (unnecessary headroom and blows galore).

I strongly suggest at least the test even though I think it speaks especially to fans of Marshall (conventional heads, Plexi and JCM800 type). I also think mainly it's the best head you may have at this price (about 1100euro)

Ultimately Vintage Modern Series is for those who think the sound is coming primarily from the guitar playing and who do not like gas plants. It's really a vintage head at heart but given up to date (adding an effects loop, reverb digital gain and more possibilities). In short, what everybody expected from Marshall.

The only "fault" that I could find him just the black / purple. It will be the most beautiful effect associated with the baffle, but I would have preferred a classic black. But it's really quibbling.

Otherwise, perfect down the line.

EDIT: Head exchanged after one year. In the end it remains a single channel and it can show its limits in a group. The dynamic range can not act as true second channel. Will have one change in volume when it is switched on and EQ (common to both modes) is no longer optimal.

Nevertheless it remains one of Marshall with the most recent character. A two-channel version would be perfect (even if in the end all the best have always been single channel Marshall: JCM800, JCM900 SLX-, Plexis ...).

UTILIZATION

The EQ is not very active, it's more refined sound. All played on the gain that is adjustable via two knobs (detail & body) Basically, the acute gain and low gain, it gives all the color and the sound is as clean as very responsive to drive. The Mid-boost is great for snapping type fender pickups, too bad it is not assignable footswitch on the
By miss against any use in an apartment ... the 50-watt marshall hurt a lot.

Manuel marshall ... pffff

SOUNDS

type of sound? Have you ever heard the thunder descend to 5 meters away from you?

it sounds typical 80's metal and rock ... on the other hand for more modern or more specific? it is better to redirect to another amp and even a different brand. With some adjustment it can end up with a plexiglass front of you.

I play a Squier Start 78, when Squier was the bomb. The receiver follows the guitar, the game's tone and volume control on the guitar comes into its own on the vintage (small pleasant crunch = drive powerful and hot). The Mid-boost, however, change my Start, you would think she leaves home with a gibson humbucker style "PAF". It's great for everything 80's heavy metal (Dio, Metallica, Black Sabath, Motorhead, ...) or for more bluesy sound to BB King or Stevie Ray Vaughan

Before, I played on a 18 inch hand-made that my (very nicely) to lend. The bass response was excellent for clean, precise and deep (provided you juggle the "body")
Now I am the branch on a 2x12 vintage 30 mounted fame. is much more powerful, but you lose low and can be made further drive the long way: it gets rough

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 5 months that I use, I know her pretty well. I tried all the other party heads 20/60 watt in the market - from € 1000 ... I did not like everything, especially blackstar HT60 and randall RG50H too rough ...

What I like best in this head is the professional sound quality that comes out to € 750 ... it's unbelievable ... Vintage have a sound buying new.

With experience, I would rather head Mesa (correct or mark) because it's more focused on what I play, but the two heads are complementary ... And when I would have the opportunity I will couple the head with a high-gain pedal type ht-distx, hardwire or a Rocktron ... it should sound quality given the small lights, but hey not sure yet

Firstly, I want to say that this head was plugged into the generic box marshall (mounted celestion G12T-75), and this box is 2 1 manufactured no matter how horribly wrong person regardless of what branch to (except my bassman).
So this test does not reflect the actual sound quality of modern vintage, I've heard in a common box (literally much better overall result).
This demonstrates once more the importance of the last link in the chain, the loudspeaker. If I had to buy it, I spit a few euros needed for the combo version, one less worry and ensuring a good result (when the volume, do not worry you, but then no!)
Feature, it uses KT88 power (like jimi limited 100w) which gives more smooth and safe for serious, good for our ears as usual the EL34 are acidic.

Monochannel yes, but not that much of the time you do not spend the big game saturax ultra clean, versatile enough even though I'd say.

Funny it works a bit like the original SansAmp, with a gain preamp and power amp gain (here named body and detail) but the comparison stops there the SansAmp is much better!
I'm not going to make friends eh ... Returning to Marshall.

What it sorely needs is a lamp to adjust the current, at this price and this vintage-can claim I do not understand his absence, especially since it is very easy to install a pedestal bridge diodes place just in case.

Finally, as it is not bad, you have to play strong enough to breathe that sound (too loud in fact, typical) but this is very usable. The trouble is that pushing the body is gathered primarily from the inaccuracy in the sound, not great. So not so modern.
For the vintage as I hate 1987x 1974x and I will not, well almost the VM is quite far from that sound, too fat too tranparent in the midrange.

Bof reverb, low volume would be nice if the amp was too ...

In short I do not buy, but I think all marshall 2décennies tested the VM is usable, and roundness KT88 is nice. A good product, well above the brothel multichannel home to my opinion!

OVERALL OPINION

Difficult at present to sort the wheat from the chaff as the offer price is great until we had nothing and suddenly it was too much!
Jet City offers better question saturation rock Bugera rocks the house with its 1990 and 333, etc..

What is interesting about Marshall is the diversity of their tender lights, Haze, MA, and all the others, they have even started copying line6! Modeling is a few models more power tubes, proof that it works right? But anyway, copy cloning experts amp is a little cat chasing its tail ... (that's mmmal!)

Amp unpretentious, which sounds quite nice, and can wake up the world three miles away (and I speak only of the 50 watts! Are crazy).

Value for money I would say correct.

See other reviews

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple it's a Marshall so far so good, we found the sound basic marshall quite easily.

Like all Marshall booklet serves just to wipe the bottom and still I prefer my lotus triple thickness.

This gives a sound of madness rather quickly because this amp is a killer !!!!!!! his very large presence in the midrange, rich in harmonics of all I love what madness

SOUNDS

It is ideal for my style progressive rock / pop rock / brit pop / metal / funk / groove but attention is essentially a good amp for rock music after to refine the sound effects are needed. At the time I know of no amp in the world where we all styles of sound effects possible without added

The types of sounds produced are very rich and varied, over many opinions I see guys who say "this is not for the metal bla bla bla" and it's all Ben's bullshit, there is much to do metal on it then after that depends on what is known about metal is that if it is to make it Meshuggah will be a bit tight but with a good equalizer mxr kind and a good tube distortion I get to do the tool of the metallica slayer still sounds so heavy. Tell you one thing is that most metal guitarists use marshall certainly boosted a bit but it seems to me that Kerry King has been playing for 20 years on JCM 800 boosted to just over 22,666 thus far is largely the job you say.

I play it with very different guitars: gibson les paul custom natural maple 1977, Fender Stratocaster U.S. 1988 and 160 ej epiphone john lennon (qq and yes with minor adjustments it can also sound in acoustics)

Only small downside crunch sound very very quickly so equalizer by an external pedal becomes vital if one seeks a clear limpid but hey marshall is not particularly renowned for its clean sounds.

The sound that I dislike about this amp is reverb this eternal shit we used marshall for 50 years like empty aircraft hangar at Le Bourget so you just stick a good holy grail or in another and there is has something more vintage.

Attention!! is clearly an amp or must carve their own sound there's not really unusual like a jcm 800 or cons here is that there is never a huge amp has so complied with the signal a guitar is truly exceptional for that. on the other hand to ring true and that the lamps do the job you really exaggerate the volume and it can be annoying when you're in the middle of Paris in an apartment like me ... So I'm seriously considering buying a power attenuator like brake marshall

OVERALL OPINION

I use for a week is my birthday and it will stay long with me

I tried and owned a lot of amps and this one is by far the best I've had with a Fender Twin amp but hey these are two very different amps therefore not comparable.

What I like most is that while his mouth, sounds, the many opportunities it offers

What I like least is the old tape from under that ceiling with a broom handle to serve me as I play too hard, but otherwise nothing

I can not judge the value for money because I was offered but I will ask my friends if it makes them not too bad ass
