Amp Auction: Marshall 2266C Vintage Modern 2X12 50 Watt Combo

Amp Auction Description: This amp is in extremely good condition and has been babied all its life. I bought it new a few years ago to replaced some JCM 800 stuff that I had sold. It has a Fender clean on dynamic 1 that is absolute pure tube tone. Dynamic 2 goes into Jcm 800 territory but with a little more gain. This amp sounds really good down low but the magic happens when you turn it up. Wow! This amp gives me chill bumps when cranked! It is very guitar/volume sensitive and takes some trial and error to find the right sound for the individual. Even when on a really high gain setting, when you roll the volume off, it really cleans up. Put a quality overdrive pedal in front and it just gets better. Start with all the EQ settings at 12 and play with the two preamp gains to get your desired low and high settings. I always left them all at 12 except the mid which I had about 75%. I played a strat through it and it is perfect for single coils as well as humbuckers. This is a professional, quality amp. It has a few very minor blemishes in the tolex which happened during a move. I never gigged with it at all and never changed tubes or anything. It is 100% stock. One blemish is on the back and the other is a pencil eraser size spot on the bottom of the front. The faceplate and all metal surfaces are perfect. I am reluctantly selling it because it is heavy and I am getting older plus I dont need the power. I have a VOX AC15 handwired and a Deluxe Reverb which fill the bill nicely with their low wattage and lighter weight. It comes with footswitch and power cord. Here's what musicians friend says about it. The perfect marriage of classic, vintage rock tones with modern features.The Marshall Vintage Modern 2266C 50 Watt 2 x 12 is an all-valve single channel amplifier with a choice of two dynamic ranges selectable by footswitch. The Low range equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain. The High range adds an extra preamp valve into the signal path, facilitating those classic hard rock tones of the seventies. Add to this the ability to dynamically interface with your instrument's Volume and Tone controls and the experience translates into a truly expressive and organic feel in performance. Two frequency selective Pre-amp Volumes (Gains) - Body and Detail - facilitate greater flexibility of tonal shaping for individual guitars and styles while the power amplifier is heavily based on the first Marshall amplifiers to be produced, with two KT66 output valves yielding that substantial fat and smooth tone. A MID Boost switch on the front panel fattens the tone even more while a traditional Marshall tone control circuit enables fine tuning of your sound. A master volume has been included in order to practically manage the output levels at all venues. This is implemented after the phase splitter in order to fully exploit maximum preamp drive when the master is turned down low. A reverb level control mixes the on board plate reverb with the direct signal to whatever degree the player chooses. The reverb can be toggled on and off via the footswitch. Finally, a series FX loop is provided for those players who wish to use outboard effect to further enhance their sound. Loop levels of "10dB and +4dB are catered for via rear panel switch as well as the option to completely bypass this feature if it is not required. The Combo comes fitted with two Celestion G12C 25 Watt greenback speakers enabling stand-alone performance. There is a facility for using an extension cab if required. The cosmetics are also a carefully crafted hybrid of old and new styles " made even more dramatic by the deep purple vinyl that covers the entire series.
