Dual Amplifier with Four
Modes
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 separate valve pre-amplifier
circuits, including an ECC83 valve each, but the MODE
FOUR also completely reconfigures its power amplifier
section depending on the AMP type
selected.
The MODE FOUR's flexibility is
further enhanced by each of the two AMP types having two
footswitchable modes. AMP1 offers Clean and Crunch
modes, while AMP2 has OD1 and OD2. |

AMP 1
AMP 1 is effectively
the 'Classic' side of the MODE FOUR. Whenever it is selected,
the power amplifier configures to recreate the unmistakable
sound and feel of our world renowned 100 Watt valve power
stage. By using this as a sonic foundation, AMP1 produces the
unmistakeable Marshall power amp roar.
While AMP 1's
Clean mode produces incredibly dynamic, three-dimensional
clean and bluesy crunch sounds, its Crunch mode unleashes the
un-bridled aggression and bite of the JCM800 Series, but with
levels of gain never imagined in 1981, when this much-lauded
series was first launched.
AMP 2
In terms of sheer gain, AMP 2 takes
over from where AMP1 leaves off, with OD2 mode offering more
Gain than any other Marshall before it, and thanks to the MODE
FOUR's radical design, the player retains maximum control
while searching for the ultimate high-gain signature
sound.

The Power to Deliver
Whenever
AMP 2 is selected, the MODE FOUR's power section reconfigures
itself so it can create the deep, dark-sounding, loose low-end
that has proved itself to be so popular with many modern
players who either detune regular six-strings, or use 7-string
or detuned Baritone guitars.
Due to the unique design and the incredibly high
headroom the MODE FOUR's 350 Watt power stage possesses, AMP
2's 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 similar
sounding, all-valve systems suffer from.
