All sorted - £35. The loop works great now - running a Deluxe Memory Man through it and getting some great sounds.

Thanks again Steve, you were spot on with the faulty parts.

I have an angled cab which I put four V30's in about 5 years ago. It started off sounding a little harsh but has warmed up nicely now. Even so I'd like to hear the difference with Greenbacks. However, I already find the VM to be quite a warm sounding amp and so am wary about putting speakers in whi...

Looking at those Detail & Body settings I'd say he'd have to be using the High range. Surprised the MV is that low though...

Dook - I think you're right that its the most special thing Marshall have put out in years. The VM is a very different beast, very different I'd argue to what most guitarists would expect from a modern Marshall amp. It's my 4th Marshall head, and to be honest, the only one which I think of as truly ...

Steve this is great, many thanks. I use a tech in Cardiff so I'll pass these details on to him.

Thanks again.

Thankyou Steve. I don't think I'm covered under the warranty as I had the amp second hand. The original owner gave me the uncompleted registration card though, which I filled out and sent to Marshall, but then I saw it only covers the original owner. Would you have an idea of the likely cost of gett...

Interested to read realbole's comments about the volume dropping when the FX loop is engaged. Mine doesn't work at all, and although I've had the amp for a few weeks, I only found this out the other day as I usually plug straight in. With the loop engaged all I get is some background, white noise. I...

Found this article a few years back which looks at Eddie's early tone. The diagram shows what it calls a "dummy" load which I guess may be the Palmer.

Cheers Steve. Sorry if I got the decibel thing wrong - don't want to confuse anyone. If there's one thing I've learned it's that I'm wrong as often as I'm right. Maybe I should have chosen something non-musical as an example, like a pair of circular saws or something. I always thought power was meas...

I've done only 2 gigs so far with my 2266 and have found that I need the master volume up around 7 or 8. This is a new experience for me to have to crank an amp that hard, but the tone and feel I then get is astounding. It feels like there is something of the amp coming up the lead into the guitar -...

I've had lots of great amps over the years, but none have had such a unique... "personality" (it's the only word I can think of) as my VM. It certainly won't appeal to or even make sense to a lot of players, but that's all part of the charm I guess - what's every man's is no man's. I suppose you can...

Thanks everyone - I was hoping for those sort of answers. I know Marshalls are meant to be cranked it's just that I've never been able to do it on a regular basis until now. I think I'll be leaving it on full from now on and running things from the guitar which I know is how it's designed to be used...

I gigged with the 2266 again this weekend and had to get the Master Volume up around 8 to merge with the band. Even then I could have done with a bit more thrust from time to time as it was getting a bit squashy. We're only a 3 piece but I suppose we are quite loud. We were in a small club (about 10...

Hi Rod, welcome to the forum. I'm pretty new here myself, having only had my 2266 for about 3 weeks, but already I've found this to be an astounding amp. We play a few AC/DC covers in my band, and for that dry, grinding tone I prefer the Low Dynamic range with detail maxed, the body somewhere a bit ...
