« Marshall JCM 900 Hi Gain Dual Reverb 100W Combo »

Purchased from Mothers Music,Edmonton Alberta,Canada.Bought this unit brand new ,It had been sitting around the store a few years.I stole it for $1325 Canadian (not a scratch on it-like it just came out of the box)Included footswitch.I needed a good solid tube amp for blues,rock,jazz and beyond.

A sweet sounding monster that i can play anywhere.Hendrix-sweet music,sweet music.This amp does it all.I can get all the the sounds out this baby from crystall clear to raunch -just add a wah and away you go again.I've heard all the arguements about amps four to five times the price,I've played about half of them and my conclusion is that this is a Grand Dame Amp of the music world.Classy looks,versatile and responsive controls,Pentiode and Triode swicthability,natural sounding Celestions(G12-75's)that don't color the sound (guitar amp version of the Bowers and Wilkins audio speakers).This amp plays exceptionally well at all volume levels although at the higher end it will your brains out.


This amp is a gift from Greek gods for any muscian.

Powered by four 6L6 Sovtek's-this is switchable.100watts of brute force if you want.Warm ECC83 preamp section and not a microphonic whisper coming from any of them.Build as good if not superior to the Bruno boutique amp line at about a third of the price.Quality is top notch with all the little nuances you expect from Jim Marshall-elephant skin tolex-big Marshall name plate-brushed brass faceplate and backplate-corner protectors and on and on......

I am so glad I came across this jem.I'd been looking for a Marshall for about one and a half years.I don't care what the whiners have to say this is one the great all time amps -PERIOD!!
