I love my VM 2266h - that is all

[freakinawesome]

Well not quite.

I've been playing it tonight and thought I'd come on here to express my joy in terms of the tones I'm getting out of this monster of an amp.

I got it a few months ago used,didn't sound fantastic but then in went new valves,biased properly and now I'm used to the controls = very happy chap indeed!!

I would love it to be two channel (an extra one for clean would be nice) but it cleans very nicely via the guitar knob,just being a bit lazy Anyway I do love the feeling of turning up from clean/breakup to rip roarin marshall middyness!

I've had a few amps over the last couple of years and I can safely say this one will not be sold anytime soon.

So,thanks to the builder/s!

Cheers

Welcome to the forum freakinawesome.

Thanks!
Just had another jamming session to learn a whole new setlist tonight and it's such a great amp.I've finally found THE amp for me. Like a few people here I had the JVM and really didn't like it (I know it's a Marshall forum, sorry!) but I can see that it would be better for metal.

I actually tried a VM in a shop before and didn't like it at all, which is a lesson I've learned the hard way. In the shop I thought it was fizzy and bright. Now I know how to use it properly the sounds I'm getting are out of this world. The sustain I was getting tonight was crazy, I hadn't even plugged in my delay!

Seriously happy with my 2266, I'll be getting another (maybe the combo) just in case they stop making them!

I'm off to research the best way of setting up a 2nd channel. I'd much rather have the single channel with the tones I'm getting though - I'll work around it!

Welcome freakinawesome,

ive just sold my JVM which i wasnt 100% happy with, im looking to get a VM soon,

please tell me, on the scale of 1-10, rate the JVM and then the VM
(anyone else can take part in this if you've owned or played both amps)

it will help me decide if the VM is for me, thanks
