MARSHALL 2266C
Manual de Usuario

Overview
The �Vintage Modern Series� comes in three models; - 2466 - 100W head; 2266 - 50W head and 2266C - 50W 2 x 12 combo. The accompanying 4 x 12 cabinets are the 425A and 425B, each rated for 100 Watts power handling. This amplifier has a single channel with the capability of switching between two dynamic ranges, either by front panel push button or supplied footswitch. Each dynamic range yields its own gain structure and sonic character. It is optimised to react to your touch and always retains a substantial tonality wherever you may set your guitar volume. Organic and simplistic in operation, it will facilitate the classic method of dialling your sounds in �on the fly� with the guitar controls, as opposed to using preset patches. This technique is still favoured by many players and their heroes.

From Jim Marshall
I would like to thank you personally for selecting one of our new �Vintage Modern Series� amplifiers. I have always believed that the most important aspect of a musician's choice of amplification is the fundamental tone it produces. Truly experienced electric guitar players, and I have known a few, will look for an amplifier that will enable them to express themselves with comfortable ease. Music is a language like any other and serves to communicate the artists feel and emotion to their audience. A guitarist is capable of translating a universe of subtle nuances, dynamics, aggression, restraint and touch to the appreciative listener. This is the philosophy behind our Vintage Modern series of amplifiers. Over the years I have witnessed several trends in guitar amplification and take great interest in keeping in touch with peoples comments and opinions from all generations. In doing so I have found that we must move with technology in order to take advantage of the rapid advances in our industry, as well as preserving the classic Marshall tones of yesteryear that have been the keystone of my company�s success. The amplifier you have just purchased is a marriage of vintage 60s and 70s tone to a feature set found on our more current ranges.

Once the amplifier is optimally set, the guitar becomes your control centre for accessing the varying degrees of tone and boost required for live performances. A true affinity with your instrument will develop once you have familiarised yourself with the ideal �sweet spot� settings that suit your own personal style. Modern features included on this amp are the now standard Master Volume; a foot switchable high quality Reverb and a -10/+4dB Series Effects Loop which can be completely bypassed if not required. A brand new feature are the two frequency selective Preamp Volumes (gains) which work in tandem to provide greater flexibility over tonal shaping of your instrument. The power amp plays a significant role in contributing to the overall sound and incorporates KT66 valves for true vintage tone. These are complimented by the newly developed Celestion G12C greenback speakers which deliver that smooth, balanced, harmonically rich timbre sought after by numerous connoisseurs of benchmark Marshall Tones.

Dr Jim Marshall OBE and daughter Victoria (Managing Director)

This amplifier is designed to react to the player�s human dynamic in conjunction with judicious use of the guitar�s volume and tone controls, as exemplified by many iconic guitar heroes who mastered this art. It has been designed to deliver the goods no matter what your style, instrument or musical genre. I hope you enjoy the voyage of tonal discovery on which you are about to embark and continue to do so for many years to come. Yours Sincerely,
