MGR/Eric « Marshall JCM 800 2210 Series »
Published on 01/03/02 at 15:00Bought used from a private party in NYC with a Carvin 4X12 cabinet for $650. He obviously had no idea what he had. His loss. This is the 100-watt 2-channel lead head.
This amp is a 2210 series JCM-800 circa 1988. HUGE Marshall sound. LOUD doesn't begin to describe this amp. Try ear-splitting, deafening, I could go on.
Seriously, I can't put the volume past 2 in a medium-sized practice room because it completely buries the drums....and we have a hard-hitting drummer. It's that good.
Versatile, 2-channel with a footswitch. Clean, it's warm as can be. Distorted, it will rip your head clean off. I play a variety of guitars (Fender custom shop Strat, Les Paul, and Hamer Explorer) through this amp and they all sound great. I use a small-clone chorus pedal and that's all you need.
Nothing. It's the be-all end all. Period.
Nothing even comes close. I've tried the new Marshalls (puke), Randalls, Crate, etc. and they're all pretenders.
It's an old amp and it's been kicked around a lot. I have to have it re-tubed every 6 months or so, but that's the story with tube amps. It's held its own like a champ. It weighs about a ton.
Don't waste your money on the new Marshalls. They suck. Get one of these today...seriously...they truly don't make 'em like this anymore.
The only amp that even comes close is a Mesa Boogie triple-rectifier and hey if you've got $1500 to drop on one of those more power to ya.
I like the JCM 800 better and you can get them cheap since they're older and most people don't know what they have when they have one.
