    Oh, man! KILLER video!!! This is probably the best demo of the Vintage/Modern on RUclips. Your explanation of how the Detail and Body controls work is something that nobody ever really gets right, but you nailed it. The range of tones you got really showcases how versatile this amp is. If there is another single channel amp out there that can cover as much tonal ground as the VM, I’ve never seen it! You were clearly having fun playing and it and I was equally enjoying hearing it!! Plus….you riffed out some “Kiss of Death” AND some Loudness! WELL DONE!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

      Thank you! I’ve been fairly disappointed with most of the demos I’ve seen/heard of this amazing amp so I wanted to try and make the demo it deserves.

      Johan Segeborn has two videos on it, but the first one he made in the 2010s is only like 2 minutes long. The problem is, I think his original demo was the better one.

    Fantastic job Steve, what a great video demonstration of a much misunderstood amp.

    • @TheGuitarNerdShow
      @TheGuitarNerdShow  День назад

      Thank you Mr. Dawson! Coming from you that means everything to me!
      Ya know, I don't get why/how the VM could be so misunderstood. Operation is basically the same as a 1959/JTM45. I'd never used a 4 hole Marshall when I bought my VM, it still took literally minutes to wrap my head around it and then I was mystified by the sounds I was achieving.
      This is also my first KT66 amp. I love EL34s but now I'm curious how my EL equipped amps would sound with KT66's.
      Thanks again Steve, and thank you for such an amazing amp design. I hope to find a way to get an Astoria head in here so I can give it the same video treatment.
      Thank you for watching!

    @miltongore8463 2 дня назад

    Great Vintage Modern video, Steve! I have never played through one. I love those clean tones near the beginning. (Nice Tele, BTW!). Those overdrive tones were amazing as well. Sounds like a very versatile amp from country chicken picking(beginning approx.5:15) to bluesy rock/metal. I love that blues riff that reminds me of Great White’s “Rock Me” and Ratt’s “Way Cool Jr”. Killer tone. Of course, I love those Loudness, Lynch, Jake E. Lee, Whitesnake tones as well. I especially loved the “Kiss Of Death”and “High Wire” tones. I really enjoyed this video. I watched it twice. Killer lead tone at the 12:50 mark with the Maxon OD. That amp is oozing with tones. Of course, with a master musician like you rocking it! Keep these videos coming!

    these are great amps, I remember that Gary Moore used these towards the end. Underappreciated and sounds great. I remember when they first came out a lot of people turned up their noses, everyone wanted the Jubilee back then. Thanks for sharing, great demo and playing.

  • @samuelsmith4494
    @samuelsmith4494 2 дня назад

    Nice video. I also watched Marshall's video with the designer of this amp explaining his thought processes when designing it. I was not familiar with this amp until I saw your post on Marshall forum, but based on what I've seen and heard in these two vids, this one is now on my radar. I tend towards Hiwatts, and this appears to be a Marshall that sits between Hiwatt and JCM...so something I am very interested in trying. Subscribed.

    • @TheGuitarNerdShow
      @TheGuitarNerdShow  2 дня назад

      That’s a great comparison! I need an old school Hiwatt, I’ve never had one. I bet I’d love it!
      Thanks for watching!

    • @samuelsmith4494
      @samuelsmith4494 2 дня назад

      @@TheGuitarNerdShow In a nutshell, Hiwatt preamps do not appreciably distort at any volume setting, and when cranked, all distortion is from the power amp. So held notes/chords decay into chime instead of decaying into less preamp buzz. Vastly different feel and style.

    @j-rb7508 14 часов назад

    Did you have the master fully dimed for all tones? I use my 2466 with an Ox Box and noticed that it sounds a bit lackluster if the master isn‘t at least on 3-4 o‘ clock.
    Could maybe use a set of new tubes since it still has the factory ones from 2007.
    When Friedman came out with the 100w JEL-model in 2020 I remembered the VM since it does a similar thing uniting Plexi with hot rodded 80‘s tones.

    • @TheGuitarNerdShow
      @TheGuitarNerdShow  13 часов назад +1

      That master isn’t fined for all of it. It’s on 6 for most of the video, the only place I domed it is for those classic crunch sounds, starting around 6:15 (ZZ Top, Kiss, Stones and the little dynamic thing starting with the thumb plunking.)
      Thank you for watching!

    I had one of these and it was great. Wish I had kept it. However I found it was really a one channel amp. You needed to set it up as either a one channel amp and use pedals or a rock amp. I do think once that is understood it is a great setup.

    • @TheGuitarNerdShow

      Ya know what, that’s a tough one. But probably yes. Without an attenuator a 1959 is just so loud (at its sweet spots). The VM has that PPIMV and it’s really implemented well. And those KT66 power tubes. I’m hooked!!!!!

    @thebenefactor6744 2 дня назад

    I'm still trying to find my way out if the labyrinth of available tones with this amp. Even the slightest movement on any knob can make a big difference. And that's before you start touching your guitar's tone and volume. Ive never played a more touch responsive amp. I think people give up on them because the tone permutations far exceed anything they've encountered before. This is an "ears only" dial in amp, because you"ll find a good tone, then step back, and realize the knob positions don't make any sense. A lot of traditional dial in procedure has to get thrown out the window when tou plug into these. But the rewards are there. You just have to write settings down, because it's, in some ways, too much amp.

    • @TheGuitarNerdShow

    @robertritchie2860 2 дня назад

    A much misunderstood amp. I had a combo many years ago and didn't really understand it. You're correct it's not two chann amp, it has two modes. The volume difference between them was big - this irritated me a lot. If I had one now I'd approach it completely differently.

    • @TheGuitarNerdShow
      @TheGuitarNerdShow  День назад

      Yeah. Both modes sound amazing and I wish it were feasible to use it as a 2 channel, but I'm really grateful for two modes that sound so great! Often in 2 channel amps, one channel suffers for the benefit of the other. Perhaps that's why the creator of the amp didn't go the 2 channel route. Just a guess.

    Muddiest amp Marshall ever made.

      Muddy, you think? I’m not getting that at all! As the video shows, the tones it’s giving me are nice and thick without getting sludgy or muddy.

    I've had four of them 50 and 100's and always sold them because of a hate-love relation .
    Some day it sounds good and the other it sounds like meh !

      That really sounded fantastic. I had that amp briefly and never really found my sound with it. I liked the kt66s but I could never get it to sound great. You sure did. Now i want one again! I do have one of the vm 412 cabinets and it sounds great. I think they had a slightly different version of the greenbacks.
