    Differences between early 80's and late 80's 2 channel JCM 800's

    This response doesn't address your question, but you might find it of interest never the less. I own a 2205, and I don't find much use for the "normal" channel, as I play mostly hard rock/metal/punk. I'd really love to play through a 2203, for comparison. The 2203 vs. 2205 tone, is a subject of...

    G12T-75, Vintage, and Greenback's: tone?

    I'm currently using a 1960A with the G12T-75's, with a JCM 800 or Mesa Mk III head. Why do you think the Vintage30 speakers would be better for say metal tones, when many metal tones are scooped?

    G12T-75, Vintage, and Greenback's: tone?

    I'm interested in the tonal difference between the G12T-75 (75 W), Vintage (70 W), and the Greenback's (30 W)? All of which, I think, are currently available from Marshall. I'd be using them in a 1960A 4 x 12. Can some people here comment on their experience? I play mostly old school...

    DSL - use the Bass booster button or not?

    I don't play with the deep switch on with my Les Pauls. Humbucker's don't sound good to me with that on. I use the classic gain channel for all rhythm parts and only use the high gain channel, set in the lead 1 position, for solo's. I'm not that found of the high gain channel, it sounds...

    Metallica tone?

    I wonder if the early sound used stock or modded Marshalls? Much discussion of the MOP sound has been made. I remember reading that the enginner's notes on the recording of this album stated that "a Mk IIC+ was "slaved" into a Marshall power amp, and a parametic EQ was used to scoop out...

    Metallica tone?

    From what I can tell Metallica's 2 guitarists use both Mesa and Marshall gear. The tone on some of the early material, like seek and destroy, can be approximated pretty closely with a stock Marshall high gain tube amp with a scooped mids setting of the tone controls. However, some of the...

    JCM 800 - recommended boost pedal and eq?

    I use a JCM 800 model 2205 (50 W) for metal and hard rock. The normal channel isn't of any use for this genre, so the amp is essentially a single channel amp for metal/hard rock. I'd like to get a volume boost for soloing, so I'm looking into buying a boost pedal. I've heard good things...

    2203 vs. 2205 tone?

    Thanks Sojatriani, I own a JCM 800 2205 and a DSL50. I'm still experimenting. My 2205 is set up with EL34s. I understand that the 2205 did not come to the US with EL34s. LPJohnny

    JCM 800 questions

    I just learned that it looks like Marshall also made a 2 channel JCM800 in 50W and 100W models. Are there any preferences to the 2 channel or single channel JCM800s? What's a fair price for an original JCM800 in good-excellent shape?

    DSL50 - Replacement tubes

    I'm experiencing some intermittent crackling and noise. I suspect the factory tubes that came with my amp when I bought it a few months ago are crap. Any suggestions on replacement tubes? Do you recommend a re-bias? I've had good results with JJ's in my Boogie MkIII, but I don't think...
