Here for sale we have a Marshall MF350 Mode Four 350 Watt solid state amplifier head along with a Marshall MF400 and MF280 oversized 4x12” speaker cabinets.


Here's what Marshall had to say about the MF350 Mode 4 amplifier head;


“For four decades the Marshall sound has continually defined rock. And now artists like Daron Malakian of System Of A Down are making the new Marshall MODE FOUR the amp of choice for a new pantheon of guitar gods. Packing more raw power - 350 Watts of it! 0 than ever before, this four mode monster also delivers more gain and more dense, tight, low-end rumble, too. Plus jaw-dropping cleans, headroom for days and those instantly recognizable crunch tones that have made Marshall a legend.

 

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. Amp 1 offers Clean and Crunch modes, while Amp 2 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 unbridled 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 Amp 1 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.

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.”


Here is what Marshall say about the MF400 4x12 Speaker Cabinet;


“ Sonically optimized Celestion loudspeaker designs.

  • Angled half-stack provides prominent upper mid and treble response.

  • Pro-gauge internal wiring.

  • Increased internal volume.

  • Metal logo and piping.

Fine-tuned Response The Marshall MF400A is based on Marshall's vintage 'TV' design that stands a good three inches higher than the industry standard 1960 type, and makes for a very imposing rig indeed. But the increased size isn't just for aesthetics. The extra volume lowers the cabinet's resonant frequency to cope with the demands of de-tuned instruments. Marshall also experimented with the relative positioning of individual drivers on the baffle to fine-tune the cab's response for the best sound possible. Two cabinets are designed for use in straight/angled pairs to make a full stack that stands an impressive 2.1m high, while the other pair is intended for half-stack use. Drivers in the [url=http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MF280A]MF280A[/url] cabs are derived from Celestion's hugely popular Vintage 30, while the G12-100K is used in the MF400 half-stack type - again available in straight or angled versions. Mote Tonally Agressive The MF400A (400W) cabinet is specially engineered to reproduce the balanced mid range and huge bottom end that are a prerequisite for extreme hard rock and nu-metal sounds. The MF400A (angled) is, in keeping with other angled 4x12" cabinets, tonally more aggressive than the base option. The angled cabinet is the usual choice for those who want a more prominent upper mid and treble response that really cuts through in a live situation. In keeping with all legendary Marshall cabinets the MF400A 4x12" cabinet is not only ready for the sonic demands of a high performance head like the MF350, but also the extreme physical abuse they may receive on the road. We recommend the MF280A (angled) for full stack operation and the MF400A or B for half stack operation. Full Stack versus Half Stack The MODE FOUR cabinets can be used either as a full stack (two cabinets) or half stack (one cabinet) configuration. The rig you choose is a matter of personal taste and as always when it comes to sound we recommend you try both to see which suits your style best. Below is a guide to the major attributes of each:   Full Stack:

  • Enhanced on stage spread.

  • More 'cut through' due to accentuated treble and high mids.

  • Iconic stage presence.”
