NOTICE GLOBAL

I, unwanted for 2 ans.Avant I Fender, the twin red knob.

100w amp head two channels. 4 EQ bands common to both channels. Independent reverb settings. loop switch effect pentode, triode or 50 / 100w. a little less headroom and harmonic 50. 3 12AX7 pre-amp and 4 EL34 power 2 for me as it was in Retube 50w .. SEE my opinion on JCM900 Dual Reverb 4100 (yes it is listed two Once the head ...)

I did Retube in 50w. Mine is equipped with EL34 and not 5881 (I think this is a very important detail.), Model lamp more représentaif sound marshall.

My lights are Mullard EL34 with a 12AX7 input golden dragon. (A must for the clear.) The powers are no longer as the number 2 course, 50w forces, so it's switchable 50 / 25W.



USE

I precisely this point in detail "sounds".

It is not so obvious as it seems ....

SOUNDS

The whole problem. its use does not ultimately proves to be so easy because it asked to be pampered Marshall future.

This is a maligned amp. For me, the views of a minority opinions "international", see eg Harmony Central.

This is an amp that ultimately needs to be tamed. The one does not ring on. Its major problem is its lack of bass. Its equalization which seems inneficace but gentlemen: Let's stay serious when he spits his bowels, CA has absolutely nothing to do.
And until now, I said loud and clear:
No amp seduces me as much as that one. I saw the green and not ripe for 10 years now ...

A highlight is the mode of operation of the lamps. In pentode or triode if I'm not mistaken. Or 50 / 25W.

25 it will tend to be more "soft" more chubby than 50 or it will sometimes be more acidic and sharp.

My opinion is especially the 25w mode.
The Channel A:

His clear and overdrive. Jmp sound can easily get out of this thing to be done: a small das GE7 the loop. A low one is there.
At higher volumes it will touch équalo the amp itself, las low wake, acute too! My setting is a low background and a support adapted to each situation by GE7. The mids and treble thoroughly virtually cut off. I play with the presence that makes the finest eq setting.

For the top, this is my solo trip, AC / DC and others just to rant a little amp.
For purely sounds clear I am quite a fan of the compressor mixture / chorus, which gives all its density. I use an old compressor Guyatone ps103 (mod germanium) cruised to a Boss DC2. (Never heard of such a chorus: MAGISTRAL).

Channel B:
Clearly lead! for the pun ... CLAIR lead-ing ... Ok I spell ....

It spits fire god! High gain, it certainly is not, but remember that we are coming out of a period or to saturate the amp that was all thoroughly developed bar ... and may be not necessarily the way to a pedal od significantly less accessible today.
Today, with modern music, the high gain mention seems ridiculous ...

The grain has narrowed, compact, mute already very nice .. Iron maiden, metallica and justice for all ... In her I always use my GE7, but in addition I stick him overdrive on the teeth!
A sd1 or Od1 home boss, that's what makes it sound better, mediums forward and dry acute, are perfectly acitivities grain of the amp.
Mutes are so daunting! mdrr!

One enters the Deftones without worry. It's heavy, dense and thick has wish. Muscle Marshall in all its glory, every time in 3 years I remain stuck and I'm in love! It amazes me to this amp AC, he knows how to clean, hard, heavy metal and carefree.

The reverb filled his role well, I find it a bit long, fine adjustments to the beginning of beach ca not displease me ...

In short, a versatile amp with a vintage anyway its always on the settings of channel A, and well suited to rock / hard / heavy.


NOTICE GLOBAL

If it were to do again, (I got it for 400 euros) I remade on.

In short it is an amp you need to know and do to tame what he's done. Versatile, and also inexpensive opportunity. For a review and a max!
Some settings and for me (it's also a pleasure to be HIS type of sound) in 25w rather, good lights, good effects and good guitarist.

Finally I ca work! mdrrr

All t said.
the loop is very useful (not work very well as on many amp made in china!)
switch hi / low super efficient
power tubes el 34 or 5881 (6L6) as model (I have a 6L6 and EL34, so I speak both)

USE

Super easy to use, sounds are easily exploitable, just make sure the master volume aprivoiser very reactive but even low volume was sound.

SONORITS

I play hard rock and metal (70's / 80's / modern thrash genre) and unlike what some say, YES c'st possible to have a big fucking her saturates !!! Just:
1: whether the lamps are not dead or otherwise not bother to post a comment !!!
2: have good hp (personally a fact largely the case in 1936)
3: having a good scratch (for me vigier exca Di Marzio tone zone, bam pro and also with super distortion affects mapleneck / sg std / les paul std Burstbucker alnico / jackson Seymour Duncan tb4 rosewood / Charvel San Dimas ditto plus 59 handle Maple and touches everything in standard tuning either re re diese diese either with low E string pulling drope 10/46)
4: Learn to play !!! and have something to compare! (I have not bought amp poorly lamps)
For me JCM900 synonymous with precision and feeling, nothing to do with the JCM2000 and jvm, this amp is the last true that sounds like marshall marshall!
Remember that it has created and to counter the Soldano and other mesa fashion in the 90's and the permetre schreders and metaleux to stay at marshall.

Here are the sounds /
clean very good for a marshall (useful for connecting a distortion)
clean with good gain for blues, AC / DC, Led Zeppelin
od very classic rock
od with max gain good for hard rock
od tube screamer with a view equalizer and it's perfect for thrash metal (precision with harmonic = hell solo)
with serious tuning and good mics = palm mute clear and punchy; cavalcades thrash (Metallica, Megadeth ...)
The reverb is pretty cool
The equalization may seem innefficace but I find that c an advantage is not going 2:00 settle its mids for example; here it sounds now.

el 34 or 6L6?
I will say that the 6L6 are more roots than the EL34 without losing the precision with more harmonics (very hendrix crunch)
El 34 drive bottom episodes with tube screamer are more modern with a thicker grain (personal opinion) stridant least as in the treble.

Hi Mode or low?

As low sound is softer fatter less precise because less powerful (50W)
Hi are over sin and shine but it less manageable small volume, must push for a ring!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I recommend this amp to anyone who row to find a good sound with the recent stuff often too expensive, too cold; complicated and not reliable enough; if not love good grain marshall c c'st not for you !!!

Amp originally fitted with 4 x 5881, I did change to support 4 x EL34 "Mulard".
Amp 100W, 50W in swtichable (triode: loses power but also the characteristic)
2 foot switchable channels.
Channel A: clean -> crunch
Channel B: crunch -> overdrive
Loop insertion effect balance with -10 / +4 dB

UTILIZATION

2 amps easy to use switchable channels

SOUNDS

Suitable for Blues, Rock and even Metal.

OVERALL OPINION

Used since 1998
What I like: Channel A cranked overdrive with a good front.
I also like: changes made to the channel B (diode bridge split) which gives a closer rendering JCM 800 punch.

100 watt head lamps .... The settings on this head are not at the forefront .... not much opportunity since SETTINGS pots do not respond on a large beach .... but we can solve this small lacunne by purchasing a pedal of equalization (boss ge-7 for me) and you realize that some things holds big!!

UTILIZATION

For my part, the configuration is quite complicated .... I have two speakers who will lead in 1960 with A + B. ... connectivity is quite complicated, I had to look on this site for the information necessary .... but with good advice I got I am absolutely very happy!! I did not get a manual with but at the price I paid I even had the 1960 A cabinet with!! sound of the amp is very good if you look for rock sounds .... but we must add effects to get the big sound ... its very hot and the distortion is effective wish a very good clean and also easy to find!

SOUNDS

I like metalheads and rockeux .... this is the amp of choice for my type of player .... I use a digital delay, a chorus and a set of preamp eq ... j ' addition follows a ibanez tube screamer overdrive for Narrow my sound and have the teeth to the metal ... the sound is really good ... in 25 years it is my hobby and best sound is the sound I was looking for! !

OVERALL OPINION

it's been 5 months that I use and I'm very satisfied ... nothing to do with the small combo amp and other fine good cheap!! that I like the most is that it is big, yes, but the sound is diffuse Surprisingly ... with 8x12 inches behind the ca pouuse and spreads halucinante way!!, as I bought it used, I can not I really pronounced on the value for money but in my opinion worth it ca pay dearly for this type of amp .... moin has to have a changing temperament, he will follow me all my life I think so! !

I brought this unit about 6 years ago and have still got it .Being an in experience guitarist at the time I chose the unit because of its name and reputation. I havent regret it, except for maybe a few short falls. I paid $1100 Australian dollars for it.

I like the distortion voice on this amp with its ability to give you a modern tube amp sound.
I also like its ability to give you 2 choices a clean and distortion sound at the stomp of a switch.

The thing that i dislike about the unit is the clean sound which tends to sound a bit "tinny" on its own. However, in saying this the clean sound can be beefed up by adding different effects with it i.e a tube screamer.

During relatively loud volumes my amp has a rattle or buzzing sound and im buggered if i can find out where it is comming from. I took it to an Marshall amp specialist and even he couldnt find where the rattle is coming from. The rattle can be only heard when Im close to the amp, and hence, it hardly bothers me.

My Marshall has been good to me and has never broken down after 6 years of in and out of boots, tipping over, kicking and dropping once from 1 metre. It has a distortion sound with balls and a clean sound with none which can be overcome with effects. If your thinking about buying one test the amp to make sure it doesnt rattle at a good volume.

All lamp
100 w to 300w head and 4x12 cabinet for celestion.
Between a jack (input), and between effects return, and direct recording output and finally jack pdalier rverb and distortion.
I well liked one second between two guitars to play the day of beef!

UTILIZATION

A simple config, except for those who do not know much about the 4, 8 or 16 ohms. The choice is nevertheless important for trs connection of the head to the cabinet. Stereo, mono, short ohms you get lost a little beginners and the more you risk altrer svrement sound, not to mention the stuff that can abmer .
The right sound? it's hard to talk about that gots both guitarists are Different. But for my part, I've never reaches the sound I'm looking for for years, but it is I who should be too demanding.
When purchasing the amp in the store, no manual I t provided by the receipt against yes!

SOUNDS

Not suitable for my type of music today. I am a rhythm guitarist with soul. on the other hand if you rock, or any other music mtal o you need the big sound ... this is for you!

I play a Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul. No need to tell you that Gibson + = JCM TNT (boom) attention ears. Finally if your angry with your neighbor, go ahead!

His fat, crunch, big sound. This amp sounds like a lanc drangster full speed. Difficult to mount the volume + 4. APRS good, you and your major vaccine ... If you like adventure ...

I shuffled the nanmoins gibson crunch and its pretty clear but the amp bluesy solo. the Rhythmic sharp and clear with this monster is a bit like driving a 38 ton 120 km / h on smaller roads Corsica ... not what.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp in 95 or 96.
I dtest weight and size, f that in j'roule Nissan micra.
For love against his mouth, his look is fabulous and crazy people who like beautiful things.
My Previous amp silent is a Fender Champ 25
Too expensive to buy today, but is not the legends of rock? In terms of the quality of fabication is the hand-stitched. Trs is well finished, solid and Designed for exceptional Manir. It is a work of art.

If I had to repeat the purchase, I do not think that I run once more in the freelance beauty and big amp that everyone rve have. I rflchirais more about the style of music I play and the sound I expected.

MARSHALL JCM900 4100 100W head + cabinet 1960A
I have owned this Marchall for 2 / 3 years since I revndu recently. It cost me nine-9600F (€ 1450) (if I remember correctly) head + cabinet.

The head is equipped with four Sovtek 5881 (model military 6L6GC) for a power of 100W and 3 ECC83 Marshall brand. There is only one EQ (It is a shame): Bass, mid, treble and presence.
Gain, volume and reverb level for each channel (that's good). There are two channels (light / full). The channel change is accessed by a push on the head or via a footswitch (supplied with the unit) which controls also the setting off / on the reverb (that's good too).
The effects loop with adjustable level is good. Output preamp out can use the preamp output signal power on another section. As against the release compensed Record is supposed to be a simulation output with HP, is not widely used mainly saturated (its very sharp without dynamics (transistor type): no!).
There are two speaker outputs for connecting two cabinets with selection of the output impedance.

UTILIZATION

It is easy to use in general, there is the impedance switch which is not very clear (values ​​in brackets?)
One 2-channel EQ is not great, you have to make compromises ...
Nothing special to report ...

SOUNDS

In his clear, the sound is round, warm enough with a lot of medium (as is everything marshall), and is clean enough to ford same volume (if one does not grow too much gain). But it's still even less than a nickel Fender Twin amp. It's like RED HOT fairly powerful. If you push the gain on that channel are obtained Crunch sounds good. Too bad the EQ is not more efficient (but again it's a habit marshall). The spring reverb (Accutronics) blends well with the sound (if you stay sober with the level) and gives a prodondeur little.
Boosted channel gives sounds of rock blues to Hendrix (with the gain in the first half) to Rage against the machine (with the gain at the bottom) through AC / DC. It's not saturate very very strong and very medium, low and no bcp potato. Especially as the EQ is not more effective than the channel clear. If you like this kind of sound is the amp for you if ... check out the competition. This channel has a very distinctive sound. If you play metal, hardcore, or death, c not an amp for you! even for the progressive metal limit c! unless you add a distortion pedal for.
Even at high volume, blah!

OVERALL OPINION

I used this amp 2 / 3 years. I sold and I do not want to marshall equipment.
When I think they call the head JCM900 HI GAIN.
THIS IS NOT THE HI GAIN! just listen to a peavey 5150 (and many others) to understand. I find that even Valvestate saturate more!

I definitely would not recommend this head (except for the lovers of the marshall).
on the other hand, there are ways to find the cheap to OCCAZ.

I will always remember the very first time I test this amp !!!!! the day before, I had tried all day long a Soldano SLO 100 head in 1990. The next day I find myself with the JCM 900 hands: I immediately thought that the amp had one or two lamps qt ... and no, it sounds like a natural at: its a pretty feeble inintressant, I then open to see a little piti cabling I advise you not to do !!!!!! otherwise, you will ask this question every day at JCM 900: will you walk aujourdh'ui? There that one time, with any background (hello !!!!) neighbors and connecting an old strat L SERIES I had a pretty cool one: something the Malmsteem.

UTILIZATION

Super simple: you plug in the socket and the t'allumes Bourrier praying that he wants to work well

SOUNDS

Go your way: check out the c JCM 800 or buy you a "Cornford" English brand that kills in his marshall CATEGORY

OVERALL OPINION

Aie aie aie ....

I might be a desire to spare EQ 2 channels ... otherwise the rest is classic (and relatively complete)

UTILIZATION

The use is bone simple, any guitarist capable of holding three agreements need not open the manual!

SOUNDS

The party is the most controversial ...
Personally I have used for years with a Les Paul Studio is jousting without effect supplmentaire and I've never had a complain. However it is true that the sound palette is very tense and his "Marshall" is rather (too) easily recognizable ...
I think it's a very good choice for all that rock a little pchu ... For the music more "soft" options may be a little too thin for what is harder, the channel distortion is, in my opinion, not enough fat and Dfine.
But what is the alternative, punk rock, etc ... it is really very good!

in résumé is not the best choice in terms of Polyval

OVERALL OPINION

I've had ten years (ouch ... I'm getting old and at the time he has really matched my expectations ... over time, tastes change and I am a bit "lassquot; sound. I" bypasses "the last few months I prampli replaced by a Rocktron Voodu Valve, since it takes advantage of a second youth)

Now I think it does not compete in terms of possibilities with the current models but ... I think ultimately it's an amp that has some me (this is rare) and I am a hard Sparer

Everything has been said ...

UTILIZATION

Using relatively simple
just a little tampering, come for all amps of this kind

SOUNDS

This is where we fall into hell ..
I remember when I started the guitar 10 years ago, and dreamed of before this monster (such waaahhh, Quan I have the dough, I'll buy a JCM 900 ...)
Ben and after playing it, it falls very low very quickly ...
that mean?
At first I thought I could not fix it ...
Actually, no, the sound is really crap, but like really shit
The sound is not clean, it's not versatile, and at least play the grunge garage with a distortion pedal dod grunge home (that is, if we seek a sound filthy), I consider this amp as unnecessary
the only way to make it sound, c him hook up a preamp in the loop, and there, depending on the quality of the preamp, it rocks well
basically, I used this amp mostly for its power section
it can be very interesting, if you have a good preamp, otherwise it is useless
So, I put four because my preamp sounded good in the power section

OVERALL OPINION

I think I've said it all ...
it can be a good plan for a OCCAZ cheap if there are connecting a preamp ..
Too bad, it looks pretty class
In fact, it must be put in a corner as a convenient and does not connect ..

JCM900 4100 dual reverb series.
all lamps (3 premp, 4 amp).
100w power.

UTILIZATION

My utlisation is notament is for the big rock, rock and variety (style-M-). with an epiphone Lespaul Standard.

SOUNDS

The sound should lead to a suited my style of music (Hendrix, ...).-M-warm sound.
the guitar part with a wah-wah morley and that's enough for one of his mythique.pas need to go through tons of pedals and rack ...
its clear this is not the same, because the amp crunch right now (especially with the wah-wah). but the sound quality is good trs.

OVERALL OPINION

As the pass transistor, a hybrid and a lamp (all from Marshall). I am a marshall trs typ. This head is perfect for me.
those who say it's not great do not understand the approach of a notice

Good, quick reminder:

This is an all-tube amp, 100 Watts, 2 channels. The connection is simple: Between guitar, footswitch, and rear of the BTE, an effects loop, two speaker outputs, and power supply. At rglalge and effects, it is the bare minimum: gain, 3 band eq and reverb.

The eq is not efficient trs, and rverb plutt brittle over time

UTILIZATION

The use could not be simpler. It's true plug and play. One branch and it works!

SOUNDS

Ha! This is the beginners that the rat race! Personally, I play blues, pop, rock, and especially the progressive mtal mtal and industrial. I jou on many amps (Mesa Boogie, Line 6, Peavey 5150, ...). And I came back to Marshall! Why? First, we must prciser that no two sound like Marshall. For some reason. Then it's an amp that is "tame." Also, you really think in terms of torque guitar / amp. Personally I play a Les Paul and The Beast Custom Lag. Finally, this amp does a brilliant Vincent compltement tampering by the Liberty Rock Studio. Power Has compltement redone, the circuit also rverb, and the amp is fitted exclusively lamps EH. Feedback, there is no extraneous noise and the sound is warm, dynamic, rich, either in clear sound with distortion. Especially since it all out on two Marshall 4x12 cabinets. For résumé, I get a sort of mix between a Mesa Boogie and a JCM 800. During live performances of my group, I actually many guitarists who come to me APRS saying "we never heard a Marshall sound like a. .."

OVERALL OPINION

I use the bte the past 1 ½ years. I love the sound, versatility and its ability to highlight the guitar that I plug it. APRS trying moultes combination (Mesa Boogie Rectifier, Peavey 5150, or POD + power amp), I fell madly in this amp bought used for 600 euros with two 4x12 cabinets! At that price the more, has not refuse, even now and I plan to buy one deuxime!

Any amp head, 100 watt lamps with lamps, dual reverb that is an adjustable reverb on each channel (clear and saturation)
Effects loop connects to the back (send and return), can reduce the output power to keep the heat without power (though effective)

UTILIZATION

Config super simple and intuitive.
After one day, after testing and adjustments, is adopted.
It's a basic amp in its design, but he is quick to find a wide variety of colors and heat.

SOUNDS

I play rock, very fat, very big and there is the foot. This amp, it always kills me for 10 years.
I have two guitars: Les Paul and Ibanez jem 777.
The Paul and the JCM is a couple, they are on the same wavelength. Anything goes. The most saturated to crunch huge very big and warm, this amp is beautiful. The harmonics sound, the amp sings, it twists, it's hot almost burning.
I can compare it to two other amps that I bought in parallel, and passion that I have. Mesa Boogie and Carvin, the dux all lamps: I kept one, the JCM 900. And I'm not ready to sell it.
Only flat, clean sounds sound better with the JEM, but with the les paul, it is very pleasant to play tight or small ruthmiques arpeggios with reverb on 7-8.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 10 years
This is a serious amp that tears
Yes, I have tried many styles by his passion, I bought 2 (see above) and no better.
I paid 8000 F at the time (1200 €) and how they regret?
I do not know what I would search other amp modeling effects? I rest on authentic sounds, mega hot, with an amp that I am screaming and defending itself.

All-tube head 100Watt, 2 channel, reverb, loop.

UTILIZATION

Super mega simple, level and gain indépandant EQ per channel and common. It is therefore a homogeneous amp EQ does not interfere too common.
Marshall is the caricature as can be, no matter the position of the knobs for EQ, there's always the same, so 2 = 2-channel sound. The clean has a good gain margin before saturation is quite nice.

SOUNDS

Wow I'm not destester Marshall, this one I like it. The clean is worthy of a good transistor, I think I have the same on my AVT. There is no depth and little momentum, very little extent, the sound seems very tighten, narrow. However I tested it on an 4x12 ".
For saturation, I played the AC / DC and a little Led Zep ... But nothing else (though I do not lack influence and reference) I was hyper blocked. The sound is distinctive and highly inflexible, you must love the amp as the spit, but then I found it particularly dirty, rough ... And always flat and narrow, as if I was playing on a small amp while it is supposed to send the wood ... I had the same presence / power projection and the same with my AVT100 Bof bof ... everything.

OVERALL OPINION

According to the forums There is the JCM800 and JCM2000 worth every penny in Marshall, I am at least agree that the JCM900 is below the JCM2000. I've never played on a 800, but I do not miss it.
Well, this amp has disappointed me, the same day I played a JCM2000 TSL122, a C50, a Hot Rod, an AC-30 and F30 and I all found above the JCM900. You really liked, and even though I'm not a big fan of Marshall JCM2000 I found the very good and I recommend it, but this one is rather poor.
I think we can find much better for the same price, while still in his "English" type Marshall.

100 Watt lamps, my 5881 model is equipped with amplification.
Sufficient connectivity, effects loop and speaker outputs on the rear.
Basic adjustments on the front.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, the balance between the two channels is easy to do in order to have a clear and balanced levels of saturated sound that is not always obvious.
No need for manual is very basic and simple.

SOUNDS

Against all odds, I was amazed by the clean sounds that come out of this amp. Marshall and clear for me, it was not compatible, then I'm on the ass. While this is not a Jazz Chorus, but the clear one grain of its own and I like good with both strato, TV LP.En that address many clear channel, one can have a slight crunch to very nice blues, just playing the guitar volume.
Saturated when the channel is a marvel to him. Attention not Trash, metal, or other derivatives, but for blues, rock and hard rock, this is his 25 years of history. AC / DC and consors ...
That right, dynamic, powerful, if necessary.
A report, it is possible to have good sound saturated even at low volume.

Accepts all possible modulations in the loop. Boosted channel is sufficient unto itself, or we go to the volume knob on the guitar, or you put an overdrive ahead to warm even the lamps for the lead.
Small flat, tone corrections are not extreme efficiency.

A point, my head is connected to a 4 x December 1960 all lead is most basic, just careful in tightness.

Only major complaint was heavy and cumbersome.

OVERALL OPINION

Often criticized, this amp is often not used to what it was designed to do: Rock'n roll and hard rock.
on the other hand, with just a guitar live in, there are already what to do with a good variety of sounds, without leaving the particular grain Marshall.

And car with large trunk required if used with a 4 x 12 cabinet.

Pramp ECC83 and 4 lamps in 5881 (6L6) in amp. All lamps 100 watts.
This is another version of the Dual Reverb JCM900 placing on the market it was released, as sometimes Describes with EL34.
The sound is more in the spirit of Hendrix or JTM45 JCM800 that the trs hard rock with EL34.
Connectivity classic faade a single input, footswitch input for a two floors clean and pramp Lead (distortion). Two outputs with adjustable HP 416ohms, an effects loop in / out, Line out output, a 50/100 watt switch output level DSIR.
Rglages quite simple: Master volume, reverb and gain for each level, Prsence / bass / mdium / High together.

UTILIZATION

Config prcis trs simple as above. a clean, one lead.
The sound is pretty easy to find if you like Marshall and if you know the kind of color research. For my part, often making the hard rock and heavy, I use a rack full of effects, including distortion, and I plugged into the Clean, the gain background (no distortion), master or 5 6 with output level of the rack rather soft, prsence 9 or 10, 8 bass, mdium 2, 3 treble .. Used the fact that these levels provide floor with all the fun lamps chattoyantes ... all on two cabins in Greenback and G30H

SOUNDS

I like the sound Marshall for 30 years. I still have 6 Marshall amp heads home, DIFFERENT MODELS (I know, it's a bit too much.
Gibson Guitars Lespaul and MusicMan, Gibson pickups, Dimarzio and EMG.
Everything is feasible if we know understand the bte ...

OVERALL OPINION

Since 15 years.
My only concern is his weight. Unfortunately, with large back problem, the heads JCM800 and 900 are no longer for me .. I spar several heads of this kind. I still have one which I can not dernire Sparer me ... I am a sentimentalist.

A tube amp toutte ... View stats for other

UTILIZATION

I'm only serves as "juice" ... There is that in my practice and it makes very good apareille

SOUNDS

I have a line6 PODxt Live that I plug into the clean channel I have a setter for its clean without my usual effect of pod after I set my sounds in my pod is only the marshall spit sauce and it makes it very very VERY well I would put the flight 6 and whatch out because it smashes your ears!

OVERALL OPINION

I toutte the power of a full tube amp with a digital sound studio at very high volume without feedback Bébitte bullshit kind of

On this head amp is not perfect but for the fact that I use it makes acsenseur really good!

100 watts all-tube head has two channels:
- 3 12AX7 (I juggle a bit between The models I like: tung gold ground, Hey, LPs, and China 12ax7B)
4 EL34 (Groove tubes for my part)
- A 4-band legalization
(Bass, midlle, treble, presence) for both channels, but ultimately damage if Gnant.
- 1 SETTING THE rverb indpendant for each channel.
(That's gnial by against).
- Two volume and two CONTRL gain.

Connections:

Faade of:

Between a jack for the guitar
A footswitch between the two tracks.

Rear:

An effects loop with rglage
Two outputs for recording: A direct (sound pramp not filter)
A filter for recording purpose.

UTILIZATION

Using ultra simple, easy to handle.

SOUNDS

A Clear Channel / Overdrive:

-> To the sound of this amp (and even any) I recommend a 10-band equalizer. I found a home RgE10 boss is 40 euros. It's fantastic! The sound is incredible proportions! The original sound seems quite flat, it really has to try and serve both the blues rocker that Aguri of all kinds! For cheap you rediscover your sound Fully and I do not even speak the clear! <-

CHANNEL 1:

Clear
I t trs also surprised by its clear, sweet music.
Without being among the most impressive, the sound is simple but the fact remains that they are rich and can play sweet things without damaging the eardrums. Or a good chorus and flanger ca does it well!

Overdrive:
Impressive accuracy! Carr was dead! Arle pile on the ropes for the Ac / Dc well surly! The SETTING THE prsence can bring out the grain finnesse. A good grain ar a desired thickness ... gnial! Heat and density are waiting for you!
I rather like to push the volume and the gain of Channel 1's for a good lamp.
Channel B: OD / Disto
CHANNEL 2:

Disto:
A gain level, I want to say it, enough to make the maiden metallica and other. If you possdez an overdrive pedals to boost Do not hesitate, worth a peek hours .. ear!

Trs compress the grain is compared to the other two. We do here has aa much more muscular sound than the rest. But the major problem (at last I found is that it really lacks mediums ...

The sound is heavy cras and trs. So I do not know if the era was c'tait the goal but lacks a bit of momentum. has reminded me of an equalizer "V". You know the young mtalleux 18, who cut the growing medium and low?! lol rsultat emerges at all in the mix and the sound gives no shade ...

Overall the amp once equalize spring, there are fast muscle Marshall sound equalizer. ) For channel 2: Eq mandatory!

The sound is good trs as a whole, the distortion is in mute trs own course and even more after stroke by pedals.

The low and high modes can juggle between two colors, is low in acute soft, less dynamic overall and trs sounds good for blues. In high is richer and muscular perfect for live performances.

OVERALL OPINION

An amp that juggling a Hard rock blues. Good reliability of the head in it even is well mounted and trs aa look more than solid.

The sound is missing characters and frankly it's not an amp that promises hours of fun! The power is ample, the grain is good it's good that Marshall can dgoter for cheap .. (400 euros for me).

As said one of our friends here as I pass by almost as Marshall, he's a perfectly fine with me waiting to put a little more for a 800 or more an antiquated genre plexi et al. .. YUM!.

It is not about an ultra high-end amp but for a while first lamp seems a good choice trs:

You want to go to any lamp, you're tired of your transo but your budget is tight?

DARK DARK DARK!

JCM 900 4100

Dejate everything said about her

UTILIZATION

The JCM 900 is very simple to use, very simple

Regarding the sound, it must be admitted into clean is a bit stiff at the base, and not saturated trs a metal base that's true ...

SOUNDS

For it is the cons that have become interesting, using the JMP avecun 1 and 1960A with a more or less different guitars: Jackson RR with emg 81, emg HZ LTD7 strings, Gibson Les Paul Standard and a squier strato di Marzio with a microphone, the sound is really metal and hardcore!!

Ke the fact the sound is not typical in trs clean, my friend, a JMP that does the job and it really trs trs well lol
It sounds really metal, TRS big sound and the JCM 900 trs filled out its role of power amp!!

He is strong, too even, but its role APRS all.

Try for others like peawy, the mesa and other JCM 900 is really the height, if you like big fat are well and that we love against less acute Submitted too, the JCM 900 and JMP 1 are unstoppable.
It passes easily obituary Hatebreed and really does not sound like fear or deftones slipknot ...

OVERALL OPINION

In 10 years of loyal service I do not resell any time soon!

It is beautiful, sounds like hell, and impresses with its simplicity and power <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />

I also possde peawy, trs good too, but different, the JCM 900 is built for him laseine !!!!!!!! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />

I got it used, I board is jamaist deu

If you like Marshall, metal, EMG lol the JCM 900 amp is a really great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" /> <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />

Do not hesitate if you see him, it will be a great companion!

This is not an all-tube amp. There are a lot of transistors alongside two 12AX7 in the preamp stage. It is indeed they who bring the grain saturation particular JCM900. It is also thanks to them we can obtain large saturation even at low volumes unlike JCM800 example. The combination of transistors and lights returned to some sort to have a distortion pedal included with the amp head.

For the power (which is all-tube):
A 12AX7 phase inverter followed by a push-pull four EL34 (the 5881 U.S. model).

UTILIZATION

The tone stack is not what I've seen better. Do not hesitate to set equalizer to max or zero. I see so many guitarists who do not dare turn the knobs and put everything at noon.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is not up to the race condition JCM900 but was not designed for that. This is an amp for lovers of Rock and Hard Rock distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since 1999. Buy € 530 at the time with the baffle 1960A.
By dint of perseverance and testing of any kind I finished not find a config that pleases me.
Fender Jaguar Boss SD1 + modified + clear + channel JCM900 Cabinet Mesa Boogie 1x12 Thiele.
I never use the boost channel because I find it lacks dynamics and spring mixes poorly. In short, the boost channel did a lot of noise but nothing is heard.

Added 10/04/2010:
I change all the preamp section for it to be 100% lamp except the reverb which remains transistor. It remains only a single channel like a JCM800 but with two gain settings and two input (high & low). Here was a lot of work but I am happy with the result for only 20 € component by taking the best quality. As against this no longer really a JCM900.
I made a post about the transformation for those interested:

JCM 900 4100

tube amp: 3 in preamp (instead of 4 for a JCM 2000 or JCM 900 SLX) and 4 power (EL 34 for mine).
Impedance selector to play 50 or 100W. Personally I prefer to leave it on 50W.

Purchased 400 secondhand €

UTILIZATION

2 channels: clean and lead A B each with 1 volume (Master), 1 win and 1 reverb
EQ common to two channels: a problem if we want a channel switcher to another, the sound is too much dispute.



SOUNDS

It is perfect for my style hard rock (ACDC, Airborne, Led Zep, ZZ Top etc..).

I use a Gibson SG or a Start 61 U.S. and two with the sound I like. All in a baffle 1936 in Marshall Celestion Vintage 30 (I did not like with the G12T-75).

29/11/2010 (after 1 year): ca does very well with G12T-75, especially 4x12 is less dry, more open.

I use only the channel B Lead. Like not at all push the channel A, it sounds too loud and clapping for my taste, so to get a crunch on channel B I drop my guitar volume knob (with the SG that sounds wonderfully well for the TDCA).

What I love about this amp is that the sound is well defined, and cuts into the mix. What is missing is a little "soft."

29/11/2010: it's actually the v30 gives this side snapping, dry ... it is sweeter with G12T-75.


OVERALL OPINION

After 10 months I use repeating and concert, I do not regret that choice at all.

Before I had a JCM 2000 TSL 60 (with 2 v30) is the sound was good, warm and mellow, but too often "fuzzy". The 2000 is missing a definition for playing power chords in the TDCA.

The pros: well-defined cuts in the mix, good value for money
the -: EQ unmanageable if we use the 2 channels (it's not my case)

Lamps (Power & eq) 100w 2 channel
I'll spare you a description ... eq for each channel it could be fun! but are not!

UTILIZATION

There is no simpler, no need to adjust the hours it sounds!

SOUNDS

I played noisy, punk, rock, indus, with a rise of 70 SG DiMarzio, a Mustang Us, a Heritage ... and never disappointed! In Briefly, crystalline or clean sounds I do not know, although with the Mustang and the channel A of the amp the sound is more than respectable wholesale with single coils it goes well, we can play funk fusion Red Hot ... but we chose not to its characteristic crystalline Marshall ...


OVERALL OPINION

I use that since there is, I'm also JCM800 master volume and a few others but this one I do not loose! The scratch who tested it all appreciated . But then I tested the version with the 5881 and there I found no sound, nothing to see, I also tried the 2000 I can not find it better with buffs that are useless if not have a sound yucky!
This is an amp that is not expensive OCCAZ and with a good selection of lamps it does! Otherwise the little negative point is that the knobs spit, as usual! After years of bomb I'll have to contact me decide to change them!
