Marshall Vintage Modern 2266 preset

Verified · 92/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The 2266 is the 50-watt head of Marshall's Vintage Modern series, the smaller sibling of the 100-watt 2466. One channel runs Body Volume into a second stage with a Mid Boost switch, then Detail Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass and Presence and a dual-gang Master. A footswitchable Dynamic Range switch gives a hotter second mode. Digital reverb and a bypassable FET effects loop sit before an ECC83 phase inverter and two KT66s.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
