This is a tube amp legendary.
- 100Watts
- 3 small lamps pre-amp (gain)
- 4 large lights 'volume' (master)
- 2 inputs (High and Low)
- 2 outputs
- Selector 4/8/16 Ohms
- 6 knobs:
- Presence
- Bass
- Medium
- Treble
- Master
- Pre-amp
Simple, no quibble. A single channel, when enough time passes on his sleeve to play music and not have to dance on their beautiful pedal-board of a 2 meter set for 4 days in advance (to change your mind about 2 days after the sound).
10/10 because it leaves a certain freedom (potentiometers, High and Low) while simplifying life.
UTILIZATION
Configuration is very simple.
2 Channel Low, the clean
High, the overdrive
It is just 5, you set the Master and Pre-amp as we want and go ... It adjusts the equalization if necessary.
The Heavy?
Ok, you put yourself in High just 10, the presence as desired, the pre-amp is there to be assayed.
If not, we take a pedal, you put yourself in Low (Bass, Medium and Treble always 10) is adjusted pedal and voila ...
It is a professional amp, it is not marked bedroom or something or just above "Lead Master 100W" on the back. So yes, it is hard, so a 50W is sufficient. But the Master really does not alter the sound of the amp. It can therefore be used in smaller rooms, in repeat, demo in a shop without any worries.
NB: It is true that the master is very responsive to 0-1 and play the lowest notes of luck. But take a 100W lamp in his room to play, it's stupid.
Effective or 10/10.
SOUNDS
I play Heavy-Rock, the Fast'n'Loud, call it what you want, and this amp is to my taste the best.
I plug in Low and passes through a Tube Screamer Boss from home (unless its 'nose' that other TS), from solo: the Micro Amp MXR M133 from, all on a Start HSS with a baffle 1960BVintage .. . and here is easy, right?
The sound of the amp (High) is not fat enough to be a real dirt either, it's an overdrive worthy of the name.
The clean (Low) is pleasant, it's a clean Marshall. No comparison with a Fender, do not compare what is comparable.
No need to dwell, it's a JCM800, a Marshall head.
10/10, it was anything more? A dedication to Jim? It was too!
OVERALL OPINION
I play with for 1 year, I found the sound I was looking for, I do not get tired at all.
It could not be easier, that's what I ask is what is best (with experience)
Compared to the JCM2000, it's 'ROCK' the JCM2000 is 'clean' more 'smooth' a little more 'metal'.
I read that there was too much treble when they are pushed (also present) ... I do not agree. Is my ear, is it my game?
It is clear that to play on two strings of a big Ibanez 7cordes and low rates make it not the top. But it's a guitar amp, (remember scales, guitar (usually) is 6-string, both the maximum use and know how to do before trying to add one.
Yes, I do it again this choice, without hesitation.
