Hey man, I just found your channel cause I love marshall amps and especially modded ones. You sound great btw, curious about your OD pedal…I got the same one and curious why you don't have the level cranked up like most other guys do?
Wonderful demo, world class! Is the mic clean or going through a colored preamp, transistor or compression?
Also, for those clean edge of break up Hendrixy tones, is it real loud (rock drum kit loud, or neighbours hating you loud?) Let's say is it viable for raunchy cleans barely touching break up when you live in a detached house with neighbours next door?
Apparently the cleans are a bit shallow on low volume, would love your opinion.
PS: Great video, many thanks.
I had one of these, and I regret selling it.
I have a Monomyth modded Vintage Modern that absolutely slays! Shea is a amp wizard.
Damn that is one killer amp. Is that 100 w or 50 watt version?
You're a great guitar player Sir!
This was the first proper tube amp I've played through. Was at an outdoor gig back in 2009 and the backline company had one of these out there which I plugged into for the entire gig. That thing was amazing.
Dang man. How have I never heard of this amp? I really want to retire my 78 100w JMP. This has all the tools
I'd like a reissue of the heads & cabinets with the exclusive speakers. Instead of the digital reverb a power scaling that does not affect tone (like in the Suhr Badger) that lets you play in lower volume. In the original color of course, we don't need more black amps.
we needed another fresh video of this great amp. everyone deserves to know about this one. its hella versatile, captures low to high gain territory, can sound great with nearly every type of speaker or pickup. And is still kinda affordable, not for long i guess.
Awesome tones!
I might trade my EVH 5150 III combo to get one of those 2×12 50 watt VM combo. Your demo sounds killer. I’d love to see a 20 watt studio series version of it. The difference between EL34 and KT66 tubes is that KT66 tubes use more voltage than EL34, 6L6, or 5881 tubes. You would have to use a transformer that can handle those KT66 tubes.
How did it take this long to get such a good demo of the Vintage Modern?! Finally I get this amp!
USA export Marshall amps had 6550s for some time. Some players love them, others pay me to legitimately (or not so legitimately) convert them to EL34s. The post JCM 800 Marshall stuff got super cheaply made. I am an amp tech so every amp I see is a broken down POS, so I could be biased. Using 16 volt capacitors on 15 volt zener regulated rails is just plain STUPID, but Marshall does it all the time now. What are they saving? 8 cents. Yay Marshall, you suck!
NICE PLAYING BRO ……..!!!!!!!!!!!! Great demo on the Marshall Vintage Modern……
I have the combo version of this and tell all my students and friends that this IS (in my humble opinion) THE best combo amp that Marshall has ever made (other than the Bluesbreaker). Thanks for your awesome video.
I bought the 50W cab version 2nd hand about 10 years ago for what was a bargain at that time.
This is the most understated amp in the entire Marshall range. It is my sound and it's so versatile. Its cleans are dreamy, its crunch is dirty, it's overdrive just kicks you in the guts. It takes pedals on the front end and it takes effects in its preamp loop really really well.
So much so, I sold all my other amps. This is the only amp I use.
Great review, Steve. Nailed it.
Nice video and playing!!! Questions: After seeing this video: 1. Does this amp have a direct line out? 2. If you had to pick one of your Marshalls, which would it be – the Vintage Modern? Studio Plexi? Studio JCM800? I'm trying to decide on one. I play some Jeff Beck songs so I will be rolling my volume to clean things up, but I also need notes to cut and sustain when I turn up the volume on my guitar. I will be using the amp at home, and possibly direct for recordings for videos. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Top Vid !! Thanks for the Examples !
Had the VM. I couldn't stop tweaking the mids and treble control. It just always sounded off. Also it's agreed among almost anyone who's ever owned one, it has one of the the worst sounding reverbs of any amp. Got rid of it after about a week. Too bad; great layout and loved the purple.
All the od pedals you used are very slight variations on the tubescreamer
Cool amp! And you are a hell of a player! Thanks for the video.
Awesome video. Indeed a great amp.
Marshall user since 1972 (first one was a Plexi, still much missed!), I have owned, played , toured and recorded with almost ALL of the Marshall range (maybe even a JCM900, which I hated).
I have recently sold a 1976 Super Bass head and replaced it with a 50w VM (My studio needed some upgrades!), but I don't regret it at all!
Something very important is the speakers. At the moment I'm using a 4×12" Jimi Hendrix limited edition with special Greenbacks in it, but it also sound awesome with the other 1960 I own, with normal Greenbacks. I haven't tested it yet with my third 1960 loaded with V30s, I'm very curious to hear what it sounds like.
Great with my TS9 or other Tube Screamer-type OVDs I own.
Great head, and as it's a 50 watter, even better for any use, studio or (hopefully) live (now I'm using more transportable Fender combos)
was this a amp demo or a master guitar class in 80's hard rock ? what a freaking great player, and explanation/demonstration of the marshall vintage modern …
Thank you ???? ❤enjoyed
I dig them stereo delays you often use ????????
I've been using the 50 watt since 2010/2011 and I love it ❤
I have the (KT77) 100 watt version with a matching cab loaded with green back. Absolutely one of my favorite amps for nailing classic rock and psychedelic tones. Your playing is phenomenal and I agree, the VM is criminally underrated.
Why did Marshall stop this model?
Great demo! Loved it!
The JTM, one of their best amp they did.
Bloody Hell, that sounds KILLER. Also, DOKKEN!
I love my matching head and cab. I went to sell it a few years ago though and no one really understood it or new what they were missing. My favourite marshall and wont consider selling again.
If they released a Studio Series 20w version of the VM i’d be very interested
Damn , guitar nerd
amazing toneyou have discovered the tone to die for!I had the 50 watt VM head and had to sell it because I needed the money. Huge regret. I since acquired a 100 watt version and it’s here to stay. It is an AMAZING amp and never understood why it was discontinued. The KT88 tubes have a unique feel and tone that is unlike anything else. I LOVE this amp!! ❤
Ok brother… question, If you had the money to buy the
Silver Jubilee studio
Or
The Vintage Modern…
Which one would you choose?????
Glad you put this up. Great sounding amp. I have a 50 watt that I recently picked up and am still experimenting with the different settings. Will definitely use this as a guide ????????
Very tasty playing great review. Nice selection of tunes I enjoyed watching.
I have both Versions, the 50W and the 100W Version and to my ears the 50W is the better sounding, more musical version.
The 100W is much stiffer und has less harmonics in the tone, most likely due to the much higher anode voltage (460V vs 510V)…
But both have one thing in common: the reverb and the Fx loop do suck, better not use them.
My answer has always been no it doesn’t suck but it also wasn’t what lots of people expected it to be
I have this amp (the 50 watt combo) and I have to say that you really opened my eyes to how versatile this amp is! I’ve always loved how it sounds but now I can really dial in a great tone. Thanks for the video!!!
was not expecting the whitesnake after all that blues haha gg! jake e lee too haha nice
Has anyone that isn't wealthy ever bought an expensive guitar, bought an expensive guitar amplifier, bought an expensive speaker cabinet, and had an expensive set up that didn't wind up being a famous musician? If you did you are a better musician that didn't sell their soul to become famous. What do you do now? Build decks or reroof houses? Tell your doctor if you have an infection!
Bet it isn't as good as the original. Because it would cost as much as the original!
Great video. I’ve been looking to get a 50 watt version of this amp. Might have to try and get the 100 watt big boy after watching this.
