AME Marshall Vintage-Modern 2466 Profile Pack

Manufactured between 2006 and 2013, the Marshall Vintage-Modern 2466 is an incredibly complex and versatile amp that was designed to be the next step in the evolution of the famous Marshall Plexi. The Marshall Vintage-Modern became a favourite of artists such as Slash, Paul Gilbert and Robin Trower. It is an under-appreciated genius of a design that can do it all….from Fender like cleans, AC/DC snarl, 80’s and 90’s rock and Modern Metal. Due to the dual input knobs (like a “jumped” Plex), a high and low dynamic range button and a Mid-boost button, the amp was a little harder to dial in…..so sadly, it went under-the-radar with a lot of Marshall fans. This is a detailed profiling of one of Marshalls best designs.
