Vintage and Modern – These are two words that don’t normally sit together unless you’re talking
guitar amplification. The concept is really quite simple, 100% genuine vintage tone with modern features as
required by today’s players. The cosmetics are a carefully crafted hybrid of styles from both periods as
well as being unique in their own way.
The Vintage Modern Series is a UK made, all-valve range born from the success of the
Handwired re-issues. Manufactured on PCB, the classic and hot-rodded versions of the original tone
that started it all, have now been coupled to a set of features found on our contemporary
amplifiers. This range is simple and flexible, as well as production and service friendly in design.
The power amplifier is heavily based on the first Marshall amplifiers to be produced and boasts KT66
output valves which produce a substantial fat, smooth tone. Many of the guitars heard on now legendary recordings are the sound of these early Marshalls owned by iconic guitarists who used them. Some personalised their amplifiers with a little circuit modification and later, guitarists who wanted to
capture these tones for themselves had the unenviable task of seeking out these earlier models from
the secondhand market – until now.
An intuitive and straightforward panel layout is provided for players who just want to plug in and play.
The Vintage Modern Series is simplicity itself, with controls that will be familiar to virtually all
players of blues to hard rock. This is an amplifier which is meant to be set, then left alone. The various sonic changes during a performance will almost exclusively come from the player and their guitar controls.
The speakers used throughout this range are the brand new G12C 25 Watt Celestion Greenbacks. These were specifically developed for the Limited Edition Jimi Hendrix Super 100JH stack. They are voiced to give the rich and balanced harmonic timbre that complements vintage tone perfectly.
Digital Village is now able to take orders for the full range of the Vintage Modern guitar amplifiers from Marshall Amps, the Marshall Vintage Modern Series.
