Over the years a great many amplifiers have claimed to offer both classic and modern tones but,
in truth, have fallen well short of the mark. While designing the MODE FOUR we quickly realised
that in order to truly produce both modern and classic performances within the same amplifier, we
would have to go a lot further than simply switching a few pre-amp components when changing
channels. Instead we needed to switch the whole amplifier......

Two in One
As a result of this simple but undeniable truth, the MODE FOUR boasts a true ‘Two Amplifiers in
One’ design. AMP 1 (Classic) takes you from clean through to front-ended 2203 crunch, while
AMP 2 (Modern) takes you into modern, high/extreme gain. To make this possible, not only do
AMP 1 and AMP 2 have totally separate valve (a.k.a. tube) pre-amplifier circuits, but the MODE
FOUR also completely reconfigures its power amplifier section depending on the AMP type
selected.

Four Modes
To further add to the flexibility of the MODE FOUR’s revolutionary design, each of the two
amplifier types it features, boasts two, footswitchable gain stages. AMP 1 offers CLEAN and
CRUNCH modes while AMP 2 has OD1 and OD2.

AMP 1
As already mentioned, AMP 1 is effectively the ‘Classic’ side of the MODE FOUR. Whenever
AMP 1 is selected, the power amplifier reconfigures to recreate the unmistakable sound and feel of
our world renowned, 100 Watt Super Lead Plexi. By using this as a sonic foundation, AMP 1 has
the characteristic Marshall openness and roar that have made amps like the aforementioned Plexi,
the 2203 and the Silver Jubilee 2555, timeless classics.

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
2203, but with levels of gain never imagined in 1981, when this much-lauded model was first
launched.

AMP 2
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. This said, thanks to the MODE FOUR’s radical design,
the player retains maximum control while searching for their 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 that 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.
