This is just a bump for my favorite Marshall. I wanted one from the first time I saw one, but couldn't afford it. A couple years ago I found one used on CL, and it was like coming home. I absolutely love my 2061x. (currently running NOS Mullards all the way through).



BTW - as great as this amp sounds plugged straight in - a Rangemaster pedal lets you slam this amp into gainier/modern sounds in addition to the classic sounds already in there. The Paul C Timmy is also highly recommended as a clean boost.

Great looking rig schwa, that is a great recording rig combination. Also I like your chain, the Fulltone Ch/Flange has always been a favorite.

I don;t know about that attenuator on top though.... I would shoot and kill that. :gangsta

Thanks for the kind words, each of the pedals seems to be very well suited to the amp.

As to the attenuator, I look at it as a necessary evil. Even at 20watts, the sound when cranked is to loud for many (if not most) places I play. Most folks with 50 W MV amps probably play quieter than I do. The Faustine is the best unit I have tried by a good measure, and I have tried most of the well regarded ones. That said, I always keep atenuation to a minimum, and prefer the attenuated sound to turning down the amp.

As always, YMMV.

You users of big plexis had the 2061x to downsize the same tone...Now, the users of 2061x have the Jmp1-H to downsize the tone:

Hey,

how does the 2061x compare to the Vm2266 (I saw some of you in here have both)
I need to choose between the two and really can't decide.
In terms of loudness I guess the two are about the same.
I play mostly 70s rock like Led Zep or Sabbath, but does the 2061x have also nice cleans? As far as I read it breaks up pretty early.
I just love the dirty distorted sounds of it, but the VM sound really nice aswell and is probably more versatile.

I can get a 2061x for about 700 bucks and a almost new VM2266 for 775 bucks, I have an offer for both.
Which is the one to choose?
