« Marshallian to possible! »
Published on 10/08/14 at 03:42It's an old Marshall 1987 JCM800 a two channels. 100 watt, with peak 150w thoroughly. An effects loop and a DI output.
For what I do, I play on how "boost" which is saturated sound. The volume of my guitar allows me to move to a clear sound.
UTILIZATION
Simple setup, the sound is the volume (meaning that the amp does not sound pushed not very good). A real Marshall difficult to operate at low volume attenuator off (I, SPL reducer). Excellent sounds are obtained truly versatile
SOUNDS
The amp suits a lot of style. It has a different sound from 2203-04 and many people prefer it. The effects loop is a more sacred if a delay and chorus just to play 80's on food.
I use different guitars (Telecaster, Les Paul, emg in duncan, ...). In fact I like to play with just the amp overdrive to magnify the sound. The sounds I get are .. Marshall. To give you an idea, listen to Michael Schenker's recent live. He plays in 2205, so the 50w. The sound is exactly that!
OVERALL OPINION
I traded my Mesa Rectifier combo against head + 2 December 'vintage Marshall. I do not regret at all, since the amp is more my style of game very 80's. I like his side plug and play, not need 36 effects for a versatile thing, it really is a killer amp. Amps I've tried a bunch and it's this one that I like (for now!)
