Marshall Vintage Modern 50 Watt Head
Ce produit n'est plus disponible.
The Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 is an all tube 50-watt single channel guitar amp. It has a 3-band EQ and Master Volume. It features a two dynamic range input that is switchable by using either a push button or footswitch. The amp allows you to get the sound of the early 60s amps, JTM45 and BluesBreaker, as well as the hard rock (hot rodded) sound of the 70s era Marshalls. It also features a Mid Boost, Digital Reverb, Series FXs loop, and two new controls Body and Detail.
The amp tube complement consists of two KT-66 power tubes and four 12AX7 preamp tubes. It includes a 3-band EQ (Bass, Middle, and Treble) as well as Presence, Master Volume control and two dynamic range channels. The two dynamic channels allow you to switch between two different gain settings each with their own tonal characteristics. You can switch between the two using a push-button located on the front panel as well as a footswitch. The two channels are labeled High and Low. The High channel has an extra preamp tube which gives up to 30dB more of gain. The low range channel has more of the JTM45 and Fender Bassman sound while the High range channel has louder more distorted 70s sound. The two preamp dynamic ranges are designed to react to both the guitar players picking and strumming style as well as volume and tone settings on the guitar. The main idea behind the amp is its ability to react to the volume and tone controls of your guitar in such a way to give you different tones. Turning down the volume to say volume for rhythm playing then turning it up of the way for lead and all the way for even more gain. The tonal characteristics of the amp remain somewhat consistent at different volume and tone setting. Its the dynamics
The Body and Detail controls are used together and arent wired in series. Each control has a very different sound to it with the Body control giving you more bass and drive while the Detail operates on the upper frequencies of the amp. These work in tandem with the 3-Band EQ and its recommended to place all 3-bands at the 12 0clock position and then use the Body and Detail controls.
The Mid Boost that can be used to fatten up single coil pickups or simply boost the mids at the press of a button. It works at frequencies from 500 to around 3 kHz and boosts these frequencies substantially. When used with humbuckers it gives you a more harmonically rich midrange ring.
The Vintage part of the amp comes from the use of the original KT66 power output tubes which were used for a short term in between 1964-65. They operate like most Marshalls in Class A/B. These are the same type of output tubes used in the early 60s BluesBreakers amp. The KT-66 has a smoother midrange sound and was also found on the first 100 watt Marshalls. It has two speaker output jacks that are wired in parallel. Theres also an output impedance selector switch which allows you to select 8 ohms or 16 ohms. Since the output jacks are wired in parallel youll have to calculate the number of ohms if you are using more than one speaker cabinet. If you have two 16 ohm cabinets and plug each into the amp then set the output impedance to 8 ohms. Make sure you know what the correct ohm rating of your cabinet is before turning on the amp.
The amp is housed in a heavy duty metal chassis and uses PCB (Printed Circuit Boards) to hold the preamp and power amp tubes. It also has the digital reverb mounted on it as well. The cabinet is made of plywood.
The reverb is meant to be used to add some depth to your guitar sound and isnt really the greatest sounding reverb but works with this setup. Its great for short plate reverb emulations. Its mixed with the guitar signal and then run through the preamp stages. You can switch the reverb on and off using the footswitch. If there is no footswitch then turning off the reverb is done by turning the reverb knob all the way to left.
Along with the reverb is a series FX loop that has two impedance settings (+4dB, and -10dB). Most guitarists probably will use the -10dB which is used for stomp boxes and TS (Tip Sleeve) type input connectors found on effect boxes and rackmount gear. The +4 setting is meant to be used with low-impedance sources but most rackmount gear will operate correctly connecting to a inch instrument cable at +4dB. There isnt a Send or Return level control so use which ever setting sounds best. As with most FX loops they are meant to be used with effects like reverb and delay or chorus. Other overdrive and distortion pedals sound best when placed in front of the amp but rules are meant to be broken now arent they! ;) One great thing about the FX loop is Marshall added a bypass button on the back of the amp. With it pushed in the FX loop is enabled. If you have nothing connected and the FX loop is enable then the signal simply goes through the send and return jacks because of the internal wiring. The circuit is opened when you plug a inch instrument cable in to the send jack.

Sounds great. A little more manageable at 50 watts but still has clean headroom. Purple telex tops off the whole vintage vibe.

Protégez votre investissement avec la Garantie de fiabilité Long & McQuade.
Une bonne garantie est souvent un facteur décisif au moment d’un achat. Étant donné qu’une réparation peut être très dispendieuse, les manufacturiers n’offrent en général qu’une protection limitée d’un an couvrant seulement les défauts de fabrication. Lors d’une acquisition aussi importante que celle d’un instrument de musique ou d’une pièce d’équipement, vous voudrez avoir l’assurance que votre achat sera protégé de façon adéquate.
C’est pourquoi Long & McQuade offre une année GRATUITE de sa Garantie de fiabilité sur la plupart de ses produits. Cette couverture, qui bonifie celle du fabricant, vous procurera la tranquillité d’esprit que vous recherchez.
En quoi la garantie Long & McQuade se distingue-t-elle de celles des autres fabricants?
- Fiabilité assurée : l’usure normale de certaines pièces est couverte. Le produit fonctionnera aussi bien qu’au premier jour pour toute la durée de la protection. Pour les instruments d’orchestre, nos techniciens et techniciennes évalueront la nécessité d’effectuer un nettoyage en profondeur, un remplacement de tampons ou un nettoyage à ultrasons. Ces services ne sont pas offerts systématiquement dans le cadre de la Garantie de fiabilité.
- Possibilité de remplacement : si votre produit est irréparable ou coûte trop cher à remettre en état, nous l’échangerons contre un modèle identique ou équivalent, sans frais supplémentaires. Si ce n’est pas possible, nous vous accorderons un remboursement complet.
- Politique anticitron : si votre article présente un problème récurrent, nous le remplacerons.
- Accessibilité : vous pouvez vous prévaloir de votre garantie dans n’importe quelle succursale Long & McQuade.
- Réglage de guitare : une mise au point gratuite est incluse à l’achat de toute guitare neuve ou d’occasion.
- Prêt de matériel : un produit de rechange peut être mis à votre disposition pendant la réparation de votre article.
- Survoltage couvert : l’appareil est garanti même s’il est endommagé par une surtension.
- Assurance-accessoires : tous les accessoires fournis avec le produit (pédale, étui, etc.) sont couverts.
- Usage commercial approuvé : l’équipement acheté pour une utilisation intensive bénéficie aussi de cette protection.
Long & McQuade se réserve le droit de limiter l’achat d’années additionnelles. Les produits d’occasion sont protégés par la Garantie de fiabilité pour une durée de trois mois. Certains articles (logiciels, cymbales, etc.) sont couverts uniquement par la garantie du fabricant. Les biens non durables (cordes, anches, baguettes, piles, tubes, etc.) sont exclus, tout comme les dommages accidentels, la détérioration esthétique et les problèmes causés par l’humidité ou la température. Les haut-parleurs endommagés par un usage excessif ne sont généralement pas couverts. Notre garantie ne compense pas la perte de jouissance. A partir de juin 2018, la garantie de performance n'est plus transférable. Valide seulement au Canada.
Achat d’années additionnelles de garantie
Certains fabricants offrent une garantie de plus d’un an, mais qui est en général limitée et moins avantageuse que la nôtre. Lorsque c’est le cas, la prolongation de notre protection vous sera tout de même profitable, du fait qu’elle est plus complète et pratique.
Vous pouvez acheter des années supplémentaires de notre protection si vous souhaitez en profiter plus longtemps. Les tarifs sont les suivants :
- Produits NEUFS : à partir de 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf par année supplémentaire.
- Produits D’OCCASION : à partir de 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer initialement de trois mois à un an. À partir de 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
- Guitares : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus. Tarif maximum de 45 $. Une mise au point gratuite supplémentaire n’est pas incluse avec l’achat d’années de couverture additionnelles.
- Instruments d’orchestre : 4 % du prix actuel de l’article à l’état neuf pour passer d’un an à deux. 4 % pour chaque année de plus.
