    If you need a replacement metal panel for a JMP....get in here.

    I have a 78 JMP 2203 and I would like to have a new faceplate. I also have a 82 4010 that has a scratched faceplate that I would love to find a new version for it.

    Played an amazing old Marshall today

    I’ve got a 82 4010 and it’s absolutely awesome. Same amp except one 12” speaker. It’s been my favorite combo of all time. It came with a well beat g12 65 that would rattle the cone at volume too easy so I stuck a greenback in it for like 15yrs and that sounded good. I recently came across...

    How did Metal guitarists boost solos in the 1980s?

    I’ve been listening to Slayer Decade of Aggression stuff and their sound man absolutely turns up whoever is playing lead pretty loud and cuts the rhythm guitar back for a pretty big offset in volume. I have noticed with the 2203 and 2204 amp that sometimes you have the tone dialed just right...

    One amp to rule them all

    I have a JMP 2203 and it is the one. It’s the best amp I’ve ever played or heard in my entire life. What makes it even better is not it’s ability to be louder than anything on earth or it’s metal ability, it’s how nice it sounds for other stuff like blues, clean, Hendrix, SRV, or almost anything...

    Realization, the painful truth...

    I’ve got a 78 JMP2203 6550 and it is my favorite amp of all time. It has a slightly different and more vintage tone that’s real sweet compared to the JCM800 series. I also have the DSL 100 and TSL 100 amps with nice fresh tubes and not so hot bias. Those amps also sound extremely good and some...

    Looking for best Marshall combo amp… what’s your favorite Marshall combo?

    I’ve got a 1982 4010 that I’ve had for a very long time and yes they are one of the best combo amps ever. Here is where the secret of the 4010 lies. It is a 2204 in a smaller box, not like, similar, close, whatever. It is a 2204 in a portable package. I have a 81 2204 and have compared every...

    Have you heard about the rare 6402 cone '90s Greenbacks?

    I had 4 of them for years and finally stuck them in an early 70’s B cab and holy cow do they really sound good in that thing. They are phenomenal for sure.

    Just discovered how to hot rod my 2204 without doing anything to the amp

    I have to comment on my experience. I do use the low inputs on my 2203, 2204, and 4010 extensively at times for pedals. I use an original UK and a MIK black Guvnor, whichever I’m in the mood for. The UK one really sounds like an extension of the pre amp of the amp it’s being used with and each...

    New Amp Weekend: 81' JMP 2203

    That’s a really nice amp. I’ve got a 78 JMP 2203 and it is my favorite amp of all time. Yes they do sound a little different than the JCM 800 versions for some reason.

    Best amp head for high gain blues

    I think something like my JMP2203 with a greenback cab does exceptionally well. There’s a whole other amp that lives in there from 5 or less on the pre amp and high input. My other favorite trick is using the low input with a original guv’nor pedal Gary Moore style or whatever is needed. The...

    Some questions about my JMP 2203

    I’ve got a 78 JMP2203 and I love it more than anything. Mine is a 6550 model and definitely devastating loud pretty fast. I haven’t had it up to 7 or even close because I run out of greenbacks pretty fast. It is very musical so loud volumes from it are not harsh or grating so it’s easier to play...

    Well, dang!

    I forgot to mention that you can also adjust the tonal range of the pot by adjusting the gear a slight turn one direction or the other. That is accomplished from inside and is pretty self explanatory once you get in there and take a look. Tweak to your preferences. I also have a ZW wah that I...

    Well, dang!

    I have a 76 Vox wah. It was brand new NOS when I got it a few years ago. It worked awesome but started getting noisy. I actually took apart the pot on it and cleaned it real good. It has been quiet and functional as any new wah since then. It’s my favorite sounding wah.

    Who uses pedals with their 2203

    Pedal usage all depends on what I’m playing with the 2203/04 amps. I play a huge variety of stuff and some of it is just the sound of the amp and other stuff requires a lot of shaping with pedals. As I get older and play more variety I have grown to actually prefer the 6 knob and high/low...

    anyone prefer marshall to the many offshoots ?

    I prefer my Marshall’s to everything I’ve ever played or heard, especially my vintage ones with one exception. The except is clone kits. My all favorite amp is a 78 JMP 2203. That amp just has the dynamics, touch, sound, everything to make it absolutely amazing.I haven’t played everything out...

    2204 Farewell...

    I have a very nice 2204, 2203, and 4010 along with both the TSL100 and DSL100. My JCM2000 amps and the 2204 are running the same power tubes and bias %. They can sound really close, almost identical to each other with the same cab and the fact my DSL and TSL really capture the vintage tone with...

    NAD: 2009 JCM2000 DSL100 MLB

    I have that exact same amp. I love the looks of it personally with the bronco tolex but also believe it’s the best DSL to own because of having the latest updates and board. I’ve had mine completely apart and it’s all the same UK DSL100 they made for years. However I played it back to back with...

    Anyone still rockin' their JCM 2000 DSLs?

    I have a DSL100 and TSL100 both in like new condition. They are phenomenal amps and I’ll never part with them. They love greenbacks. To me those amps are the best sounding out of modern production stuff that has a lot of features. I do put a lot of effort into tubes, bias, and any needed...
