    I haven't written off getting an 800 in the future. Just have not found one I want at a price I want to pay.

    Thanks to everyone for their opinions and recommendations and knowledge in general. Almost all of it was of great benefit. I was just able to locate a reasonably local (an hour and fifteen minutes away) amp that was available. After checking it out, it was in great condition, an original 91-92...

    New Friedman 20watt JEL coming very soon .

    Also does anyone know whether the JEL-20 only going to be sold for a limited time like the 100watt version was?

    New Friedman 20watt JEL coming very soon .

    Sounds like many of you have a lot of experience with Marshall amps. Is there any (unmodded) Marshall 20 watt head amp that you would choose over this JEL? Based on comments and reviews, It seems to provide the classic Marshall Plexi sound in the one channel, and then, in the other channel...

    I appreciate your thoughts on this. So you feel a 2203 would provide the same sound as a 2204 with the additional benefits you point out? Thats very interesting and may open up other possibilities. Thanks.

    Thanks. As you noted before, Reverb prices are very high for these amps, must completely un-serviced. In looking today, there was nothing under $2300.00, except a couple from Europe, which I wouldn't trust, much less pay $250+ shipping for. I can stand to wait a bit, make some offers, and see...

    Just to clarify further, the original goals was an actual JCM800 2204 in excellent condition (adding in tubes, having caps installed caps and a good attenuator). IF it could be done even reasonably affordably. It appears that it cant, and will run 2-3 times the total cost of either a 900 MKIII...

    Need Your Expertise - Is A Used JCM 800 Model 2204 Worth Double The Price Of A JCM 900 2100 MKIII or SL-x?

    I really wasnt trying to confuse the issue. I only mentioned the Friedman since I thought it might be of interest, to some here, coming from a dyed in the wool Marshall fan who owns five of their amps. Not something I would consider. I only mentioned the 20 watt Marshall releases because they...

    Need Your Expertise - Is A Used JCM 800 Model 2204 Worth Double The Price Of A JCM 900 2100 MKIII or SL-x?

    Of course, with further research, reading and listening to reviews and forum info, I discover that Marshall has recently only complicated the options to consider list by bringing out the Studio JTM and the 2525H Mini Silver Jubilee. And, of course, out of nowhere, a good friend, and gifted...

    Need Your Expertise - Is A Used JCM 800 Model 2204 Worth Double The Price Of A JCM 900 2100 MKIII or SL-x?

    I guess that, for me, its coming down to how to best get the sound, or at least most of it, that a 204 is noted for, without paying the large sum of money that a 204 goes for, plus tubes and caps replacement, plus an expensive attenuator for either the 10w pr 50w versions. If the consensus is...

    Need Your Expertise - Is A Used JCM 800 Model 2204 Worth Double The Price Of A JCM 900 2100 MKIII or SL-x?

    Very impressive collection that you have. That makes it possible for you to really provide me with some meaningful answers. First, can you talk about the difference, particularly in sound, between the SV20H Plexi and the SC20H? And there seems to be a MKI and MkII? What years were the original...

    If I understand that correctly, the SV requires an additional power amp or preamp???

    Need Your Expertise - Is A Used JCM 800 Model 2204 Worth Double The Price Of A JCM 900 2100 MKIII or SL-x?

    Wow, I recently got a quote of over $300.00 for just the complete replacement tube set, and biasing, and $300-400 for cap replacement . Maybe I need to look further for someone to do the work. At your prices, I wouldn't have even given it a thought.

    Really appreciate all of your valuable information and perspective. A couple questions if you would be kind enough to offer an answer. I was not aware of the fact that there was a Reverb Price Guide. However, I tried it and looked for a Marshall JCM 800 204 and came up with nothing. Is there a...

    I have noticed that there are variations in JCM 800;s that would limit me to ones that are available for sale that I could audition locally, which shrinks the available field by about 99% and could take forever. I first noticed this about a year ago. A friend and I were in a local establishment...
