Sorry, yeah I re-read the OP and he does say he had the detail cranked. My bad. Sometimes we read through a post too fast.

Wow, I think most everything has been covered by previous posts. It is probably time for a real good tech to look at your amp. The 2266 and 2466 have gain to spare. I don't know what you paid for your amp but I can tell you most of us here on the forum that own the vintage modern love these amps. One of the finest amps I have ever owned. Definitely worth repairing. Good luck.

V2 is the HDR tube....V3 is the tone stack. I've found a short plate ECC83 works really well in V2. JJ's are ok but a vintage RFT is the best I've tried. ECC81 / 82's in V2 will reduce the HDR gain, but to the detriment of tone IMHO.matjo223 wrote:When I activate HDR on my 2266C I'm in instant high gain guitar hero facemelt mode and that is with Marshall stock tubes on all positions. Have you checked the preamp tubes? Perhaps there's a 12au7 or a 12at7 in the V3 (HDR-tube) position in the preamp section?
In general when I'm using the LDR mode I get a good rock tone (for me it is just like The Hellacopters sound on the song Toys and Flavors) with Detail at max and Body somewhere at 12 or 1 o'clock, I'm using a Les Paul with PAF-type pickups. Using a Tele with single coils I get a bit cleaner sound with the controls at the same position.
