Post subject: Alternatives to JCM 800 ... |
 |
|
Hi folks,
I'm looking for an alternative to a Marshall JCM 800.
I played through a JCM DSL 2000, liked it, but unfortunately
the combo version uses a completely other design and EL84
tubes.
The sound of the DSL 2000 with EL-34 is IMHO much better.
What features should my dream amp have:
- 15-50W
- Marshall sound from crunch to high gain distortion
- Full clear sound suitable for Jazz and Funk
- Combo if possible with 1x12"
- 2 or more channels with separate Tone controls
- Effect loop
And for homerecording one special demand...
When setting the amp into standby mode I still want
the pre-amp to be active to be able to make
recordings, by sending Effect Sent output through
a Multi Effect.
JCM 900 combos for example have this ability,
JCM 800 and Silver Jubilees for example not.
Does somebody know of such an animal ???
Best regards
Andreas ///

The issue with the marshall pre-amp is that it seems
to be a fake ... JMP-1 was the name ...
It still runs if you plug out the tube ...
That I read from an Harmony-Central Review afterwards
after I bought one from eBay.
Then an A/B comparison showed, that the pre-amp
is missing a bit of low end punch if you play power
chords.
At the end I was more satisfied with my JCM 900 than with
this particular pre-amp and sold it via eBay.
