Marshall Mode Four Full Stack

Attitude, stunning good looks and an incredible 350 watts of brutal yet toneful power set the MODE FOUR apart from all other amps. Add to this an arsenal of great sounds, a slew of professional features plus groundbreaking, state-of-the-art hybrid technology and you have a Marshall like no other.



The first ever Marshall, the legendary JTM45, was born in 1962 as a result of the Guv'nor, Jim Marshall, listening to what guitar players wanted. Forty years later, the song remains the same and that's how the MODE FOUR came to be. Modern guitarists told us they wanted an amp capable of more gain, more low-end and more headroom than ever before . . . plus great cleans and, of course, the crunch tones that have made Marshall a legend! We listened and reacted - the result is the MODE FOUR.



Dual Amplifier with 4 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 unmistakable 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 6-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.



Fully Loaded For Professional Use

From the very start, the MODE FOUR was created with the professional guitarist in mind. To this end it boasts a host of carefully thought out features that have been designed to give you, the player, the ultimate in professional flexibility and control. These include:
