Re: What do you think of Marshall's Today ???

The Vintage Modern, is a JTM45 and JTM45/100 circuit
with two mods added, and used the original KT66 output tubes.
In low dynamic it is a straight JTM, in high Dynamic it is a
Boosted Gain mod by stacking an extra input tube giving
not only higher gain but higher output. And there is also
a Mid Boost Mod, which thickens it out and kicks in the Body
side of the preamp for a fuller sound.
Just because its not PTP doesnt mean it doesnt sound Vintage.

very vintage sounding on low dynamic, very modern sounding on
high dynamic. Saying the sound isnt vintage isnt correct.
