My guess would be Scott Gorham & Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy. If I remember correctly, I think they even used those amps on the Jailbreak album in 1976.

Hi Mitch - Neil Geraldo

Great amp! I have one myself. Mine is an '89 with the separate line and headphone jacks and the Celestion G10D25 speaker. In a nutshell - yes, there are 4 different versions. I believe the most desirable one is the first version (ca. 1982) which has no line out or headphone jacks. The drive has...

Very cool! 1986 2210. What is the reset switch near the power cable all about?

Best speaker for the amp bar none.

Sorry, delete my post

Marshall 4100 head and 1936 cabinet was my first. (90's) When I was a kid, I couldn't afford a Marshall, but I had no clue about the Mosfet. That would've been just fine. (80's)

Very cool! Congrats! :)

I do not have any personal experience. However, this from Steve Dawson, the designer of the VM. "The Vintage Modern is basically a JTM45 with some hot rodding. For a JTM 45 tone select the low dynamic range, master volume on full, mid boost out, Detail at 2 -4 o'clock. Body at 1 - 3 o'clock and...

Love mine! I'm a Schenker freak too, and I think the later models (IMO) sound best.

"The 50W Vintage Modern will put out around 36W(RMS) clean and 50W(RMS) when driven, just like the old JTM45s. Other 50W Marshalls put out 50W (RMS) clean then more when driven. The 100W VM put outs 77W (RMS) clean and 100W (RMS) when driven."
