marshall jcm 2000 tsl combo sound test

[bluesman341]

I have an older one-the thing is Gruesome good! They nicknamed it the 'Twin Killer" --I play a Strat with a Boss Ds-1 -Super Chorus and a cry baby-turn your bass all the way down and turn the treble all the way-it's an Old Jeff Beck trick-they are very heavy and won't take a lot of rough handling-very delicate-they didn't leave a whole of room for the tubes to cool-I still love it-you see the club owners faces when you bring one of these in!!!!

100w?

[93GibsonMan]

U know, i loved this amp to death, besides the weight, it was perfect! But i found out the hard way that it was discontinued due to faulty engineering...it broke halfway thru a gig :/

[nirvanachristian]

Hey they are selling me the same amp but the reverb does not work is it hard to dux that or expensive?

[AfroAlex97]

What does the Black button do on the amp

[Norepinefrineable]

@AfroAlex97  Standby button

[JPhiroto]

no attenuation? just cranked and thru the GT-5?

I would like to try it on my DSL100 w GT-10 :D

[mariosapm]

nice trick you did with the FX unit in the loop, but doesn't that generate lots of unwanted noise?

[burninbean]

Keep practicing bro !!

[Saphirehaze11]

where did you get that pedal board?

[asianaxeman]

cool , do u notice a good improvement in tone when u crank the master to 10 and reduce the boss volume?

[Geetarfrik]

Ive got a JCM900 DR combo, and while it doesnt have enough gain for my tastes, it screams metal with the right pedals. Try a Digitech grunge into a cruch channel with a clean boost in the fx loop.

[Zboots]

Best amp I have ever owned or played through with the exception of an Orange 50w. The best sounds come from when you crank it possibly making it too loud for your needs. Great amp, good price and I don't think they make them any more. Remember to warm your tubes up before playing! The longer, the better.

[blueleadguitar]

ive got one of these, and use Gibson Les Pauls through it. The sound is fantastic but fuck, it's heavy! lol

[goingwithzed]

hard to sometimes realize that even metallica has a lot more mid than your settings on the lead channel... the tone shift is _plenty_ without also dropping the mid down... I wouldnt do it and get used to hearing mid for a while... zakk wylde is a good example of a non V shape player that still rules... or EVH. The best parts of the tone come from the mid, and since its a marshall, the tone controls interact a TON with each other... I would say boost your mid at least, then use an EQ in the loop

[dbenc]

Sounds pretty quite if you vol is a 10?!?! Did you mean 10 o'clock?

[apessk8s88]

i think putting it at ten means to CRANK THE GOD DAMN THING!!!!! :P lol

[scream232323]

agree i think he has the vpr button in that makes the amp more quiet from 100w to 25 w and the tubes were probably freezing

[asianaxeman]

v nice

[TheSoyuken]

way to go man! :)

[Renguleus]

METALLICA!! YEAH!

[jaydenp1]

holy fuck that nothing else matters part sounded 100% perfect... tone and everything

[SynysterOne]

i got one with the extension 2X12 cab, best amp i've ever owned/ played. you just have to know how to tweak it to your liking.

[traceurjordi]

nothing else matters de metallica

[S4rockz]

whats the song your playing in the begining?

[bigschizo]

the clean part is nothing else matter's by metallica

[knowthetruth2]

migth buy this

[ojiope]

hey, guy this amp ok...i want buy last few days when i saw at ebay...but afraid the sound not so good...

how about u used after..ok???

[gingertaylor1955]

Why didn't you test the amp without that boss pedal as it dose pre amp the Marshall and what Guitar did you play ??? this is what we want to know.....!

[bigschizo]

i set the boss output low so i can turn up the amp to full volume to get the tubes working especially when playing in the house and it was a ephiphone les paul with anico 2 pro pickups

[AndeDK]

Im looking for a new amp as im playing in band and my current amp just isent enough.

Is this with tube?

[bigschizo]

yes its a valve amp with clean/crunch/lead each section has its own eq and two reverb one for clean and another which crunch and lead share theres an fx loop and theres a switch you can lower the wattage from a 100w to 25 for smaller gigs also theres a line out so you can connect to a mixer.

it's a great amp covers all genres sounds great and i have never had reliability problems

[AndeDK]

Quite expensive allso - how much did you offer?

[bigschizo]

cost me £900 but that was years ago

[tank9142]

im about to get one for $250us at my local shop

[Albee213]

sounds great, I got one whjen it first came out mid 90's, I think i paid about $800. Now I use the GT-8 and in some respects it does not sound as good as the GT-5. It can do more and the GT-5 just sounds realer maybe?

[bigschizo]

yeah the gt5 is great i thought about changing to the boss stomp pedals but why? when i have pretty much all the pedals in one box its also easy to set up and i can plug it in to my mixing desk and get got recordable tones.i have had thr gt5 for 10 years now and the only fault i can think of is the guitar input gain pot that dirty and needed replaced.

that was years ago and its still going strong.

as for the jcm 2000 versitle,loud,great tone and its been reliable for me.

[Albee213]

Do you ever use the speaker sims? I trued them back in the day but never sounded real to me, the new ones are great. I want to get one of these used to play around with it more, I really had no clue how to use this thing back then but got some great metal tones with a Crate GT-500 MosFet Tube Preamp.

[DakotaSkids]

ha first commet, is this amp the JCM 2000 still made anymore

kickass, great job

[bigschizo]

yeah you can still get this amp. its very versitle sounds great & it don't cost a fortune.
