Published on 11/29/13 at 12:06So mine is a 4210 JCM800 combo with 1 HP (Celestion G12 base) in 1988, he made 50 Watt, but it looks like it comes out 500!
Setting level there's not more simple:
a clear channel with adjustable bass and treble and volume.
a saturated channel with low, medium, treble and gain + volume. a master volume and reverb level and basta.
A footswitch to switch from clear channel saturated.
UTILIZATION
Given the limited settings, there's not much to do to get a good sound right, well, if it must wait until it is warm ... and then there! it rocks!
SOUNDS
The sound is excellent, provided that we understand how to interact adjusting channel volume and master volume control. Wholesale or pushing the channel volume and decrease the master volume: its HighGain good hard rock 80's or otherwise and there is actually saturate the output tubes and one gets a good big sound boogie rock australian, if you see what I mean. With a good SG or Les paul there is direct.Par against it should not have neighbors, even with a 50 watt, it grows very strong!
on the other hand there is only one sound: the sound british marshall, volume 11.
Of course depending on the guitar is plugged to the beast, it passes through various horizons with a strat we have for Hendrix, with a Les Paul Slash (or Jimmy Page in the level of gain
with SG was a horn growing on the head, etc. ...
All the big legendary rock sounds are waiting for you to send that little wrist. and it handles well the history of volumes and gain.
For solos, I boost with a tube screamer Ibanez 1982 and here I am Adrian Smith Live period after death, with a DiMarzio Super Distortion that fat havoc.
Well, you understand this is an amp for hard rock fans 70/80 funky friend on your way!
I compared it to a JCM 900 combo too and it's still very different, so the identity is without problems.
Finally, the clean sound is not bad, it's not a twin reverb, sure, but there's beautiful harmonic and it is very hot ... not as good a JCM 900 on this aspect there, but hey it's clearly not designed for.
OVERALL OPINION
it's been 4 or 5 years that I have, mine was in very good condition when I bought it, it has worked well so far and the sound is really good a white-hot time.
Well, ok it is a bit heavy compared to the size, but who cares at this point. When you plate the agreements of the intro to "Walk all over you" ac / dc and you got exactly the same sound on the album Highway to Hell, well worth a few extra pounds ...
I do not put "perfect" in the assessment because in the style of music and / or games that can not do it at all, against for lovers of good old hard rock and roll 70's / 80's, it is pure happiness.
