WARNING!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING LIST CAREFULLY

A. ALWAYS ensure that a good quality mains plug is fitted to your Valvestate™ conforming

to the latest B.S.I. standards (UK only) lead supplied.

B. ALWAYS ensure that the plug is wired in accordance with the regulations of your country.

C. DO NOT attempt to remove the chassis. There are no user serviceable parts inside your

Valvestate™.

D. ALWAYS have your Valvestate™ serviced or repaired by competent, qualified service

technicians.

E. NEVER use your Valvestate™ in damp or wet conditions.

F. WARNING This apparatus must be earthed.

The concept behind Marshalls’ revolutionary Valvestate™ technology is to simulate the

performance of a Marshall valve power stage without actually using power valves. By providing the

warmth, feel, responsiveness and sheer musicality of a valve amp without involving the cost and

weight, Valvestate™ has placed the classic Marshall sound in the hands of thousands of waiting

guitarists the world over.

With the release of our VS15, VS15R , VS30R, VS65R, VS100R & VS102R combos and

VS100H amplifier head, we have produced a range of amplification ideal for a host of different

playing environments. The VS15, VS15R and VS30R are perfectly suited to home practice with clean

and overdrive options, headphone sockets and on the VS15R and VS30R reverb. You will also find

that with any of these models backstage warm-ups have never been so much fun or as inspiring, and in

the case of the VS30R neither has jamming with your friends.

The VS65R, VS100R, VS102R and VS100H will easily handle any of the above applications but

also boast many additional features plus a single ECC83 valve in the pre-amp to add greater sparkle to

clean and extra grind and dynamics to crunch and overdrive settings. This flexibility in addition to

their increased power ratings make these amps ideal for rehearsal and full live performance.

This handbook is designed to help you to get the most from your Valvestate™ amplifier.

However, we would stress that the simplest way of getting the best from your Valvestate™ is by

experimenting. Don’t be afraid of using radical settings if that is what is required to create the sound

that you want as Valvestate™ is radical technology designed to handle the most gruelling punishment

of any playing situation with ease.

VS65R: 65 Watt Combo with Reverb

The quality and flexibility of the twin channel

65 Watt VS65R make it ideally suited to a host of

playing situations such as warm-ups, rehearsals,

recording sessions and gigs. The inclusion of a

single ECC 83 valve in the pre-amp section which

operates on both the clean and overdrive channels

helps the VS65R to deliver a truly professional

tone.

Front Panel Features

1. Input

Plug your guitar in here. We recommend that

you always use a high quality screened cable to

help prevent noise, interference and unwanted

feedback.

2. Volume

This controls the volume of the Clean Channel

and is useful for balancing the level of the

Overdrive and Clean Channels. Once turned past

half way this channel will start to add crunch to

your guitar sound for semi-distorted chords and

bluesy leads.

3. Ch1/2 LED

Indicates whether Channel 1 (Clean) or

Channel 2 (Overdrive) has been selected. Red

indicates Channel 2.

4. Bass

Turning the Bass control will affect the

amount of low frequencies or bottom end in your

guitar tone. Rotating this control clockwise will

increase the lower tones and, depending on other

settings, will generally make your tone warmer and

heavier if combined with distortion. By turning the

Bass control anti-clockwise you will reduce the

bass frequencies in your tone which will make your

sound sharper, thinner and more cutting.

It should be remembered that your guitar will

probably be the main influence in your overall

sound and a naturally bassy guitar for example will

probably need less bass on the amplifier than a

naturally trebly guitar.

5. Middle

The middle frequencies are those which

generally affect the size of your sound. By

increasing the amount of middle in your tone your

guitar will sound fatter, conversely reducing the

middle frequencies will make your guitar sound

thinner.

6. Treble

By adjusting this Treble control you can add or

take away the higher frequencies in your guitar

tone when on the Clean Channel. By turning up

the Treble control and increasing those high

frequencies you will make your guitar sound

brighter and more cutting.

7. Ch1/2 Switch

Allows for switching between Channel 1 and

Channel 2 via the front panel.

8. Tone Shift Switch

Re-configures the channel voicing of the Clean

Channel giving the option of a boost in mid-range

frequencies combined with a cut in bass

frequencies.

9. Gain

Controls the input signal from the guitar and

the amount of gain within the pre-amp when on

Channel 2. Increasing the amount of gain will

increase the amount of distortion in your guitar

sound and to some extent will increase the volume.

Having the gain level fairly low will result in

vintage style blues crunch. Increasing this will

result in high gain sounds ideal for more

contemporary distortion tones.

10. Bass

This controls the amount of bottom end or low

frequencies in your guitar tone when on the

Overdrive Channel. When using a heavily

distorted tone, increasing the bass will generally

make the tone darker and heavier.

11. Contour

The Contour control basically shifts the mid-

range frequencies in your guitar tone. By turning

the Contour fully clockwise you will scoop out of

your sound most of the middle frequencies. If you

combine this setting with heavy distortion and high

Treble and Bass settings you can get a killer

‘thrash’ tone, perfect for brutal rhythms and

aggressive leads. By turning the Contour fully

anti-clockwise you can get some great fusion type

tones.

We would suggest that you spend some time

experimenting with this control to find the

optimum setting for your style, if you’re not sure,

simply leave the control set to 12 o’clock.

VS65R

12. Treble

By adjusting the Treble control you can add or

take away the higher frequencies in your guitar tone.

By turning up the Treble control and increasing

those high frequencies you will make your guitar

sound more cutting.

13. Volume

This controls the volume of Channel 2 and

allows you to balance the volumes of Channel 1 and

Channel 2.

14. FX Mix

When using the FX Loop on the rear panel the

FX Mix allows you to dial in the desired amount of

effected signal into your overall sound. Turning the

control fully clockwise will result in a fully effected

sound, (i.e. no dry signal and turning the control

fully anti-clockwise will result in a fully dry sound).

15. Reverb

Adding Reverb to your guitar tone will add

ambience and size, giving the effect of playing in a

large empty room or hall.

16. Power LED

This will light up when the combo is on.

17. Power Switch

Switches the mains power to the combo.

Rear Panel Features

1. Mains Input

For connection to mains supply. Always ensure

that your plug is wired correctly and fitted with the

correctly rated fuse.

2. Headphones Jack

For connection of headphones. Connecting

headphones will automatically shut off the internal

speaker.

3. Footswitch Jack

It is possible to change channels on the VS65R

by either the front panel switch or via the optional

one way footswitch. This jack is for connection of

the one way footswitch. The optional footswitch,

model PED 801 features an LED to show when

Channel 2 is selected.

- Effects Loop -

The effects loop is used for connecting an

external effects processor or floor pedal. The effects

loop on the Marshall VS65R is sensitive enough to

suit the level of either type (processor or floor pedal)

to ensure that a perfect match is made.

Generally it is advisable to connect time based

effects such as Chorus or Delay through the loop

only and any external distortion type effects directly

between the guitar and the combo.

4. FX Return

For connection to the output of an external

effects processor or floor pedal.

5. FX Send

For connection to the input of an external

effects processor or floor pedal.

6. Line Out Jack

The Line Out Jack can be used for connection

to recording equipment for direct recording or for

connection to a P.A. system.
