UTILIZATION

Lots of buttons but very simple, it's Marshall ...



SOUNDS

Will it fit your style of music?
I play mainly metal and when I read that the JCM2000 is not for metal ... just kidding Clearly this is not a high gain but push it a bit, with a good cab and a good shovel it sends heavy! Important not to cut the mids or play with the equalizer in V. .. Otherwise, you lose all the biting and aggression.

Clear: good clean sound for a Marshall! Complement it with a little chorus / Reverb / Delay and go for an arpeggio shivering ..
Crunch: the sound of AC / DC! Reduce the gain and you have a blues sound great!
Lead: my favorite channel! Needless to type an overdrive before or whatever else is ... sending it enough for the modern metal, clear you will not want to play in Suicide Silence or Behemott but what will the Guns to Kataklysm through Arch Enenmy or Paradise Lost, Metallica, ... is perfect, the question is, set his gear properly ...

With what (s) guitar (s) or effect (s) do you play?

LP standard and Shecter SheDevil.
TC electronic G-sharp (in the loop) + NS2


OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
It's been a long time and I will say that for 10 years I have, it never fell down once, not even a fuse! I never got tired of her except when I get the urge to smash a small deathcore ... but hey I think if I had a 5150 I'm tired of not being able to play anything other than death ... Frankly, I have a LP and a Schecter (active) and the amp fully respects the guitars that branch there.

What thing do you like most/least about it?

Most: versatility, power 25watts past by pushing a button, 3 CHANNELS loops and effects (adjustable) with footswitch switchable, the lead sound ...
Minimum: The guys who criticize Marshall saying they do nothing good for the JCM800 .... I invite them home to test for TSL100!

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Because clearly the versatility of the gear is the most important thing to me: you diversify his game, his style, the gear follows the musical evolution and ultimately that's what costs the least! When I see friends who have changed 3 or 4 times the amp since I have mine so that eventually they get tired and always looking SOUND ....

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Excellent for the head but the cab 1960a cons is not really terrible, I modified mine with 2 V30 + cross + silicone wiring and it really changes much in the end.
