I'd love to try one of these out. From what I read, they have more gain on tap than a regular 800. Is that true?

I think that it is a standard 800 2203 until the "beast" switch is activated. Then comes the higher gain as it's an EQ set up as KK did with his MXR pedal. That is my understanding anyway. Maybe someone here knows better.

This is an amp I'd like to have I think. It looks fucking badass too!! :dude:

that's my understanding as well. Its a modern reproduction of the original 800 2003 circuit, with the addition of a set MXR EQ in front along with an MXR Smart Gate built into the box that can be engaged using the "Beast" button.
Without the Beast engated you get a traditional/classic JCM 800 2203, and with it engaged you get fire of hell unleashed through your speakers!

thats true but theres something everyone forgets when taking about the jcm 800 side of this amp:
when have you seen an 2203 with kt88?

OK, just got back from 3 hours jamming with my drummer so heres an update...

This thing sounds fucking monstrous. Absolutely the thickest hugest sounding amp I've ever heard. So much clarity too. I set the preamp at noon and with beast on with the assault at noon, you just get this thunderous punch, but its all so clear and defined. Not too much gain and SO MUCH FUCKING PUNCH!!!!

Im completely blown away. I think if you play metal and you want balls to the wall power, no FX loop, no clean channel etc... this amp is just perfect. I'm sad to say, and I didnt want it to quite so much, but it literally shits all over my DSL. And the DSL is a great amp, up until today, I fuckin loved that thing, its been my workhorse for nearly 10 years.

Anyone who's disregarded this amp due to kerry kings name or tribal graphics is missing out and quite frankly its their loss. This thing is the fuckin shit :dude:
