I'd guess about 2000. Some have paid ~1300, others have paid around 2700 .

Re: Marshall Mode Four

VHT's stay too clean sounding for me on the distorted channels. I would reccomend a Framus Cobra.

Re: Marshall Mode Four

I must be on crack. I thought the Mode Four was a solid-state design.

Re: Marshall Mode Four

Mode Four is solid state but with a tube pre amp...IMO as said before its a decent amp but theres beter out there..

For versatility in a marshall i'd go (and i did) DSL 50..Great Cleans, It nails the calssic marshall crunch and the mordern Drive IMO is excellent...

Re: Marshall Mode Four

try a triple XXX...if you don´t like the cleans it has (i do) you can try changin' the tubes...btw you can buy it with 6L6's or EL84's

PD: you can also try that new peavey Joe Satriani "Signature" amp

it seems to have it all, good cleans, good rythm tone, and good soloing

Re: Marshall Mode Four

Stay away from the mode four, there are so many better things out there for less money.

Take a look at ENGL stuff, lots of great heavy type amps with great cleans too, here is a site with lots of heavy (but some different) clips of ENGL amps on it:

Re: Marshall Mode Four

wierd, i thoght the Mode Four was pretty awesome for the money... having tried on in anger, i miust say i was mighty impressed. i was ready to give it a good bashin for being SS, but it really was pretty special. Extremely versatile too. ive got only praise for it.

Re: Marshall Mode Four

I agree with Young Angus...

and to Kyuss rocks post

I'd disagree with you, it;s your opinion but even comparing to the Cheaper All Tube DSL IMO theres no competition..although the DSL wouldn't be as versatile (2 channels, but still technically 4 modes) IMO its in the catagory of the "gear with lots of ok tones or gear with a few killer tones"... But addmitadly the cleans on the Mode four were very good...

Re: Marshall Mode Four

I tried the Marshall TSL-602. Amazing distortion! And the cleans are snappy. You must try the TSLs.

Re: Marshall Mode Four

Hey im saving up some cash and look at buying a Mode Four, its priced around 2800$ so i got time to look for another, but i was wondering if anybody knows a really good amp, or has tried out the Mode Four I tryed it myself but i didnt have the time to actully play with it.... so if you have any advice on that amp, or a better amp can you post it here, Thanks

13 years old and looking at a $2800 amp, Either mommy and daddy are rather generous or your a movie star lol. I liked the Modefour when I tested it, It had some insane crunch. The modefour cleans were actually better than usual, In that price Range I would still prefer to do alot of shopping around, Besides, the modefour just came out so the price will be inflated for a couple months.

Actually the Mode Four i believe is out at least a year now (if not more)(or less) and if anything the price of the mode four will increase, along with everything else in this world because of inflation..

And to Metalblaze..

I could nearly guarentee you that if you try the DSL you will much prefer it to the TSL...
