The Marshall 2466 100W head is an all valve single channel amp with the facility to engage an extra gain stage either by footswitch or front panel switch. This provides an extensive sonic palette offered in 2 dynamic ranges. The Low Range equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain. The high range adds an extra pre-amp valve into the signal path, facilitating those classic hard rock tones of the seventies. Add to this the the ability to dynamically interface with your instrument's volume and tone controls and the experience translates into a truly expressive and organic feel in performance.
Two frequency selective Pre-amp volumes (gains) - Body and Detail - facilitate greater flexibility of tonal shaping for individual guitars and styles while the power amplifier is heavily based on the first Marshall amps to be produced, with four KT66 output valves yielding that substantial fat and smooth tone. A Mid Boost switch on the front panel fattens the tone even more while a traditional Marshall tone control circuit enables fine tuning of your sound.
A Master volume has been included to manage the output levels at all venues. This is implemented after the phase splitter in order to fully exploit maximum pre-amp drive when the master is turned down low. The on board proprietary plate reverb was developed in keeping with classic vintage sounds. A series FX loop is provided for those players who wish use outboard effects to further enhance their sound. Loop levels of -10db and +4db are catered for via a rear panel switch as well as the option to completely bypass this feature.
