About This Model

The Marshall VS265 is a hybrid combo amplifier delivering 130 watts total, configured as two independent 65-watt channels — effectively two amps in one cabinet. Its design pairs a valve preamp, centred on a single 12AX7 tube, with a solid-state power stage, giving it a warm, analogue character across a range from clean tones to high gain. An onboard stereo chorus splits the amp into two fully independent amplifiers when engaged, and the effects loop with true send and return allows integration of external processing. The VS265 is also capable of driving an external extension cabinet, extending its versatility further. Known for producing substantial volume — comparable to a 100-watt all-valve combo — it is a physically imposing and loud-performing unit. Some examples from this era have exhibited solder joint issues, which is worth bearing in mind for servicing purposes.

A great opportunity to own a Marshall VS265 at this price point.
