I have noticed that when on the low dynamic setting, the amp is not nearly as loud as when on the hi dynamic setting.

Any reasons for this????

Yes, the amp in high dynamic range has an added gain stage in the preamp, so you will have a lot more gain in that setting; if your Detail and Body settings are low enough, it could seem like a volume boost. If you crank Detail and Body to high settings, the volume difference may not be as great but you will hear a definite gain difference.

Thanks MKB. I am really digging this amp. I have been playing for 8hours today...

the way i understand it is the high dynamic is an extension of the low dynamic, so you get more gain the higher you go. cool amp. mine loves my strat.

You need to join the Vintage Modern Forum the builder/engineer
of the amp from Marshall is a regular there, and the website is just
dripping with great info and settings for the VM
there are alot of combo owners there to, here is the link

the VM is very different amp its basicaly a HotModded JTM45
that had a gain stage and mid boost added. You can do some
cool stuff with that mid boost and the "Body" preamp
the Body preamp should stay at about 5 unless you use the
Mid boost, then you can even crank the Body

I have registered with the VM Forum, some great stuff on there.



IMO Strats sound perfect with the VM. I have two strats - a custom built copy with custom shop 69 pups and a birdseye maple neck, a usa vintage reissue 62 with rosewood board and 57/62 pups.

Both sound amazing. I also have a Clapton strat with lace sensors but it feels too compressed for the VM. The vintage style single coils (with all their hum and grit) work wonders with the VM.
