Marshall MF 400 A Gitarrenbox Mode Four Serie

A great many amplifiers have claimed to offer both classic and modern tones but, in truth, have fallen well short of the mark. The Mode Four boasts a true Two Amplifiers in One design. Not only do AMP 1 and AMP 2 have totally separated valve pre-amplifier circuits, each housing an ECC83 valve, the Marshall MF350s power amp section completely reconfigures itself depending on the AMP selected. Each AMP type having two footswitchable modes further enhaces flexibility. AMP1 offers Clean and Crunch, while AMP 2 has OD1 and OD2.

Due to the unique design and the incredibly high headroom the Mode Fours 350 Watt power stage possesses, AMP 2s impressively wide bottom-end not only has the sound and feel of an all-valve amp, it also doesn't lose definition at high stage volumes - a problem that many other simular sounding, all-valve systems suffer from.

AMP 1 ist the Classic side of the Mode Four. Whenever it is selected, the power amp reconfigures to recreate the unmistakable sound and feel of our world-renowned 100 Watt valve power stage. Using this as a sonic foundation, AMP 1 produces Marshalls legendary open roar. While Amp 1s Clean mode produces incredibly dynamic, three-dimensional clean and bluesy crunch sounds, selecting Crunch unleashes the unbridled aggression and bite of a JCM800 2203, but with levels of gain never imagined in 1981, when this much-lauded series was first launched.

In terms of sheer gain, AMP 2 takes over from where AMP 1 leaves off, with OD2 mode offering more gain than any other Marshall before! Thanks to the Mode Fours radical design, the player retains maximum control while searching for the ultimate high-gain signature sound. Whenever AMP 2 is selected, the Mode Fours power section reconfigures itself si it can create the deep, dark-sounding, loose low-end that has proven so popular with many modern players who either detune regular 6-strings, or use 7-string or detuned Baritone guitars.

As you'd expect from the company that invented the stack, the Mode Four Series 4x 12"s benefit from our fourty years of cabinet expertise. The Marshall MF280 (280 watt) and Marshall MF400 (400 watt) cabinets are specially engineered to reproduce the balanced mid range and huge bottom end that are a pre-requisite for modern rock/metal sounds, and being 3 inches taller than standard 1960 cabinets a Mode Four stack is truly a sight to behold!

We recommend the Marshall MF280 A (angled) and B (base) for a full stack and the Marshall MF400 A or B for a half stack...
