It's a JCM 800 - 2203.
Pure 100 Watt beast, so LOUD.

AWESOME!! I love it.. Now your mission is to crank it to 10 and see how fast the cops get there..
Really nice, are you going through a 2x12??
One day try the plexi through the normal 1960 cabs for fun!! The volume above 2 in a room is unbearable!!
The 1960ax aren't so loud but do sound way better.

always sound better with a 4x12.
It will rock
On a slightly different note, that's really a terrific picture ... I love good amp porn
That's my next mission, no worries
Sweet. Is that a Canadian model?
Now, that is a Mission statement I am all for !
Looking at those toggle switches, I would say yes, it's a Canadian model.
I heard Canadian model comes stock with EL34, but US model comes stock with 6550. Is that true?
Oh one more thing this beast is so freakin' heavy, it almost feels twice as heavy as the 2550.
Yes. Canadian models came stock with EL-34. I personally prefer the EL-34 sound. For the weight, that's probably due to having the bigger transformers for the 100w version vs the 50w 2550 Jubilee transformers.
You can tell whether its a Canadian model for sure by looking at the chassis. There will be a small, round sticker with handwriting on it and they should have CSA written on it.
Yes, that's a Canadian model.

You can also tell that its a Canadian model because the output transformer only has the 8 and 4 ohms output selector.
The transformers should have a small sticker on them but you might have to take the chassis out of the head box to see them. If there is no sticker, there should at least be an ink stamp on them.
That's sun faded. It is well documented. If you take the chassis out of the head box, you'll see that the fabric is black on the inside.
