Marshall JCM 800 JCM800 2203 Guitar Amp Riffs

[MAD1981full]

Hey man , can ya tell us what are you using more to have these sound ?



[RickStar72]

What are you using for a boost pedal. It sounds great

[nochix96isnuts]

DON'T BUY LINE 6'S!!!!! Am really regretting it now!

[Hellion117]

Is that straight through the amp? Or do you have any pedals plugged up?? I 'm looking to purchase JCM

[pulley1fan]

@ the Line 6 bashers.. what ignorant statements... while higher end Marshalls, Mesas, Bogners, etc are EXCELLENT amps.. they are NOT the end all be all of the amp world. Especially when it comes to cleans. The newer Line 6 models do a superb (and almost unrecognizable job if using as a recording interface) at imitating these classic and iconic tones. I myself have a Hughes & Kettner Triamp but having played through line 6 gear in the past... there's NO way I count not recommend a Line 6 amp.....

[MrDimebuck]

I'm wondering if you use effects as well,.. I use a zakk wylde version of the jcm800, and originally I hated it because there just wasn't enough gain at all, but I started using a DS-1 and a metal zone and it's a totally different amp now!!

[JamesBentleyTV]

Do you have to put the volume past 5 to get distortion ??

[MW2fatcats]

Fucking sick shredding with the best amplifier brand!

[trasheaven]

just JCM 800 or effect? overdrive??

GREAT SONG!!!!



[soullessSiIence]

Not bad. For 2000 dollars it better sounds that good. Fucking expensive crap.

[DoobleyDooBAH]

Is it possible for this amp to give a completely even, clean tone?

[DRUMMERLORD95]

yeah my dad lied to me and said that a shitty line 6 amp cost more than a marshall jcm 800 and got me thae line 6 it sounds like digital fucking shit i'll never forgive him.

[LedZeplican]

Yo any pedals or just straight into the amp?

[hmforever]

Nice sound Man!! Are you using a kind of boost or Les Paul---->JCM800?

Thanks!

[LedZeplican]

Nothin like a Paul/Marshall combo

[DKoor]

Really dig riffs around 2:00, thumbs up

[counce87]

@DKoor diary of a madman - Ozzy

[qinzhenyu000]

Nice sound & nice play !!!

[qinzhenyu000]

nice sound!!nice play~~

[lespaulman1]

like the sound. are you running right into the head or are you using an overdrive pedal too?

[neepathius]

man u guys suck! he's doing an excellent job, i wanna hear good common riffs so i can get a great idea what this amp sounds like.

[DzikiZioom]

what riff starts at 1.50?

[markreynaers887]

@DzikiZioom

This is a part of the song "diary of a madman" by ozzy osbourne

[liam12rutherford]

what riff starts at 0:43

[unholymassacre86]

@liam12rutherford aint talkin 'bout love by van halen

[liam12rutherford]

@unholymassacre86 thanks!

[victor1997ification]

Whitch Cabinet? 

[Weez2202]

I appreciate that you did actually play chords/memorable rifs...I really hate watching these demo videos where all people do is solo. Most of the time playing in a band you will be playing chords, which for whatever reason people avoid like the plague in these kinds of videos.

[granskater]

0:02-0:05 is a part of eruption by eddie van halen :D

[eliahu33]

i think this amp mostly used by metal players and plexy by classic players

[dumapies]

@eliahu33

JCM800 has great cleans

[eliahu33]

@dumapies Jcm 800 is good amp but i like plexi clean because it sounds warmer

[96lolstar]

How do you control you gain?

[houstonjay1]

how often do you change the tubes

[slicknik13]

WOw why is it every guitarist sounds the same... Its like be unique not a slash copy

[dumapies]

@slicknik13

you do not yet have the ear to tell apart tone, the more amps you listen to the more differences you'll notice..every guitarist has their specific tone, unless they're trying to copy a tone or just don't care. Marshalls are probably the most popular amps out there, so don't be surprised when people sound alike

[chutonrat]

de que canción es el riff del segundo 40...?

Whats song is the riff of the second 40...?

[MrHeavysteel]

@chutonrat Van halen. ain't talkin about love.

[GootarDood]

0:42 - Ain't Talkin' Bout' Love, great song :)

[tomakiakls]

hi,did you boost the jcm, or you played straight in the amp? if you boosted what are the pedal/amp setting?

thank you bro!!

[myrocker961]

the distortion is the amp or a pedal???

[aids696969]

@myrocker961 lol fail

[Guitargawd13]

And people say Marshall's don't have any distortion! 

[MattKimDemos]

@Guitargawd13 HUH? What kind of idiot would ever say that?

[inhuman96]

u should put some seymour duncan alicino 2 pro on that les paul

[inhuman96]

IRON MAIDEN KILLERS!!!!!!

[bdBaCstudios]

I melted my fender amp.lol, Marshalls and Mesa s only for me.

[TheCurseOfMetal]

Yeah everyone play those same chords (A, G and D)

[jensthebrix]

13 Line 6 players watched this

[slysendice]

@jensthebrix Now now, Line 6's are fine, practice amps, but nothing more. I have a Spider III and it actually served pretty well for a few shows. But now I have an '85 2204 and can hardly bring myself to plug into the Spider :D

[evhgl87]

what are you goosing this marshall with? nice playing man. that 800 sounds fucking awsome.

[123dayma]

0:43 what song?

[Elazul451]

@123dayma Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love by Van Halen.

[jlaw666]

what do you mean reissue

[TheHungryShredder1]

if thats how you stand on stage, then you are making yourself look like a dick :) just a tip :)

[DemirGuitar94]

SOMEONE HELP

im highly confused about this amp. Its all one channel sooo does that mean its all distortion or all clean????

[ChristianBurrell]

@DemirGuitar94 no a one channel amp mean. Lower volume and lower gain give you a clean sound until you start to crank it a bit with the controls and you will get a fucking awesome distortion and yes this is a one channel amp

[SLASH10390]

@DemirGuitar94 u got pre amp voume and master volume. crank the pre amp up and u get distortion but doesnt affect the actuall volume. Ive had mine for a couple of days now and havent been able to crank to even ONE ! in the house, its just too dam louud lool but the more master voume u add i wud imagine ud get more distortion from cranking tht too. Also theres 2 inputs on it, high sensitivity and low sensitivity. stick it in low if u wnt a nice clean sound stick it in high if u want some crunch.

[Sk8bordr125]

whats up with the farting noise

[comedybenj]

can you play death metal on this?

[davay1]

what distortion pedal

[marcioszka2904]

whose song is in 43 sec.?

[VarykGerai]

@marcioszka2904 van halen - aint talking bout love

[Sk8bordr125]

@marcioszka2904 aint talkin bout love van halen :)

[gaetpreschoux]

robocop

[slashandmustainerox]

damn i buy a line 6 i should buy this

[DimebagDarrellCFH13]

@slashandmustainerox

Don't EVER buy a line 6. THE shittest amps EVER! Trust me. You want a good modeling amp get a Peavey Vypyr

[mrguano7]

@DimebagDarrellCFH13 Sorry to say, the Vettas are pretty sick. Nothing like the real thing though, never.

[bigcatroberts]

@slashandmustainerox I can tell you from experience not to get a Line 6

[fenderboy08]

wat year is the guitar?

[Spenceros]

Great amp, great playing, awful shorts. \m/

[Concorde1992]

Do you have any effects between the guitar and the amp?? It's sounds superb!!!

[PAWJ1]

pls tell me i want to get the same amp pls....is that the pure amp sound or are you using any pedals ??? thanks !

[houstonjay1]

how can i get my mg100hdfx marshall half stack to sound like that. By the way what peddles are you using.

[goldfish881]

@houstonjay1 you really think he's gonne be able to tell you that?

[ravenrage07]

@houstonjay1 simple answer it cant

[RazorAceYU]

@houstonjay1

You can't cause MG is a transistor amp. This is all tube. No ammount of pedals and effects will help you.

[carlmagnus9]

@houstonjay1 It's a MG, you can't.

[Eddiemotor]

I'am having thoughts of buying an Marshall 50 watt tube amp, with a 4x12 cab, i would like to obtain mostly a classic warm Marshall sound, i play mostly classic hardrock style like AC/DC, some Gary moore , Blues and a bit more, but mostly AC/DC, is there any amp that people here can recommend?

I can't afford to expensive amps like 1987x or ''Hendrix'' 59SLP amps, but i would want a similar sound to 1987x if there's an amp with similar sound,Tube + 4x12 and 50 watt is requirement for all amps.

[greendayrokr]

@Eddiemotor

have you looked at marshall clones? metro amp can send you a kit with evrything included to put together your own plexi, from whichever era you choose. you choose the tube types, filter caps, even color of the amp. or for a few hundred more theyll build it for you. a lot of people say theyre better copies of the original than even the marshall reissues, and these are all handbuilt, handwired, and awesome. they run around $1000 (unbuilt) to $1500 (prebuilt). you should look into one.

[wunwinglo]

Love your Hall and Oates poster. Awesome!

[UnchainTheNight1]

@wunwinglo son i believe that is a beatles poster

[stratboy1972]

this guys ears must be bleeding lol

[zhdli]

The amp of my dream...

[MrBenCleaver]

les pauls and jcm 800s sound AMAZING!!!

[beeballboy]

Love the amp the paul and the ozz man. keep it up.

[DJMurano]

the best demo of jcm800 I've ever seen

[12345678ix]

hello im getting a new amp either a jcm 800 900 2000 or vox ac 30 i really wanna get a nice brown sound like van halen and tight overdrive like guns n roses , kiss and ozzy ousbourne but i will also need to clean up the sound to get a jimi hendrix or pink floyd tone which amp should i get and those the jcm 800 take pedals well because it has no fx loop thanks give me opinions .

[DADVolbeat]

@12345678ix Well, the one he is playing is a reissue, and it contains an effects loop (i got an reissue aswell), so that wont be the problem. When you put on clean you wont get 100% clean fender/vox clean, but you can have it almost 100% clean :)

Do NOT pick JCM900, as they stop working, way more often :) Jcm2000 DSL100 is an option aswell.

With the amps you wrote, definately pick JCM800 or the Vox AC30CC2X. Depends on where you're going to play.

JCM 800 is VERY LOUD, with 100 watt.

Vox is 30w

[ParkingLot1995]

hey...this might be a pretty dunb question buy i just reasenmtlly started with the guitar, amps an shit...i've heard a lot of stuff about the jcm 800 but i haven't actually seen a gain nob on the amp head....how do you get the gain on that amp??

[pedecamp]

Dylan is that straight through with no pedals?

[guitarsbunch347]

wat is the riff at 0:43

[swankbasher]

@guitarsbunch347 "aint talking bout love" by van halen

[guitarsbunch347]

@swankbasher thx man

[ptflecha]

@guitarsbunch347 aint talkin about love - van halen

[whoosoo]

wow nice tone.. 

[ampmgitar]

hi this sound is conect only to amp direct? no efect ??

[danarw81]

that fender amp should be runnin for cover lol

[stratboy1972]

@danarw81 fenders are generally louder than marshalls

[shipleyshipster]

@danarw81 Not when its time to play some cleans its not.

[No1RHCPfan]

lol at the tiny fender amp XD

[TheBGrogan]

i always loved how the Marshall JCM 800 sounded.... it kicked the 900 and 2000's ass anyday. it's just got that raunchy ass growl about it, i previously owned a Marshall JCM 900 thinking i would get that 800 sound just because it was Marshall....but quickly found out different.... also can't stand these guys that use a JCM 800 head and run 20,000 effects boxes through it, totally kills the tone of the head

[2chrizful]

what song is on 0.38???? plzzzzz

[asda6572]

How loud is this? Are u using an overdrive pedal too?

[wowspare]

0:02 ~ 0:05 i think i've heard that particular chord progression 13095712339 times before

[cichowina]

@wowspare me too, lol :D

[RandyRhoads6235]

@wowspare Its the part of Dr. Feelgood it sounds like right after the cleen when it turnes back to distortion and then obviously it leads into Bark at the Moon.

[mateivornicu]

@wowspare the classic 3 chord rock n roll... between 1074 and 1980 AC/DC used these 3 chords in almost all of their song. but dont get me wrong.. i love AC/DC!!!

[CJsoccer4]

@wowspare ozzy osbourne's bark at the moon. that is the riff

[lakistein]

@wowspare hahahaha jea xD

[singup2him]

@wowspare Its a good tonality test...A, the open G and D

[Rexusmetal]

@wowspare 

[96lolstar]

@wowspare Is not the Premier guitar intro?

[crishanx]

the best amp ever... i have one of those and they fuckin' rock!!

[snickers763]

epic shirt

[teethofshark19]

what is the song played starting at 0:44? please

Thx

[lennyibanezdude777]

@teethofshark19 Ain't Talkin Bout Love by Van Halen

[teethofshark19]

@lennyibanezdude777 Thanks man !

[jakemk21]

I'm trying to find my own sound, hopefully with a Marshall, but I wanted it to kinda be like Eddie Van Halen's brown sound, and when you started playing Ain't Talkin Bout Love, I was sold! Thanks!

[F3RALIC]

real skill, doesnt come often, but it is apparent you have it

[guitar6270]

what would give you more of a slash tone Marshall Jcm 800 or Dsl 100??

[dbacks4life]

@guitar6270

Definitely the 800

[lavalamp360]

@guitar6270 JCM 800 but it depends on the cetrian slash tone ur looking for. On the recording of AFD slash used a modded 1959slp and for the later era of GNR i believe used a JCM800. If ur looking for a Velvet Revolver slash tone than I would get a Vintage Modern

[petepetruzzi]

FACE MELTING

[spicbuddha]

great tone! is that straight in no pedals at all?

[blastofo]

u got a cool ass jam room duuuude

[cichowina]

Hey, does it have enough gain to play Iron Maiden stuff?

[brt927]

@cichowina More than enough

[bobywaz]

@cichowina Iron Maiden originally played on Marshall Plexis, which had even less gain. But the thing is, to get a good sound from a JCM, you must put it at verry high volumes, around 7-8 on the master. So you should not worry about, like, hearing impairment, and your neighbours.

[Mario666Heartless]

great tone man, are you using only the gain from the amp or do you use a pedal to spice it up?

[fritosofdoritos]

can someone tell me the price ranges for this? and im trying to look for kind of this sound but with an amp thats $500 0r less. PLEASE HELP

[nickfromdtown1992]

@fritosofdoritos its on guitar center. you can just look it up. if you want 500 or less then for sure not this amp. look up the egnater rebels

[callthemall]

@fritosofdoritos Peavey Windsor?

[jakefortwice]

@fritosofdoritos amps are going for beans in this economy... you can find jcm 2000 etc for around 500... keep looking ebay craigs list.

[fritosofdoritos]

@jakefortwice wait the head is 500 or the cab? or both?

[jakefortwice]

@fritosofdoritos for the head. cabs dont seem like they have dropped as much. not sure why, but heads that were 1200 last year are 500 to 800 sometimes. used of course but that dosent bother me.. I traded an orange tiny terror for a '97 plexi reissue in good shape. the terror was 500 new and the 112 cab was 300...so thats a descent deal. then i made a 212 speaker cab for 250 bucks, materials plus speakers.. avatar is a good place to get celestions.

[lespaulman1]

@fritosofdoritos you're not going to get this kind of tone for $500 or less. This is a tube amp and tube amps are expensive. This particular amp (Marshall JCM 800) runs for about $2300 new, but you can find an older one that is used for about $800-$1200

[tomakiakls]

he wears an iron maiden t-shirt but plays zakk wylde...just a little bit dick!

[Mario666Heartless]

@tomakiakls man i guess with a mind like that, you are the dick ...

[ludasean]

Outstanding playing, man!

[Danijel0610]

What is this songs 1:20 - 1:45 and 1:42 - 1:50?

[Augenatic]

@Danijel0610 1:20 and forward is crazy train by ozzy osbourn mann O: 1:42 and forward sounds like something improvised, but i could very well be wrongg

[Danijel0610]

What is this songs 1:20 - 1:45 and 1:42 - 1:50?

[theShowStopper321]

Do u have it cranked or are u using an oeverdrive?

[YearraeY]

lol my marshal 30w and JCM800 amp simulator gives the same exact tone for 200$.

[PiercingTruth]

@YearraeY exactly what marshall 30w are u talking about? ill go buy it right now

[isoviths81]

maaaaaan...you're rich!! :PPPP... no kidding, great sound, great gear!! :))

[paulscape72]

sounds good man, nice tone and playing!

[burnoutman21]

what song is played at :42?

[aDn00s]

@burnoutman21 aint talking bout love - van halen

[xm3talxmast3rx]

@burnoutman21 aint talkin bout love - van halen

[markyellowseries3]

@marcusmarkmus .

i have a jcm 800. i play live at about 4/5, and its loud as fuck, but the sound thickens up. presents 0, bass 6, middle 6, treble 4, pre 10, master 4/5

[marcusmarkmus]

@markyellowseries3 thanks for those settings! not what I used at all =P Im using a Vox at home, it seems Marshall needs very different settings to sound awesome.

[theShowStopper321]

@markyellowseries3 The presence control also drives the power section

[marcusmarkmus]

how loud are you playing? Ive tried it but only with master volume at 2 or 3 or something. Sounded alot thinner than this..

[lastangelsofrock]

is this without pedals ?

[ismaelmc92]

Hi!! Did you use pedals in this video? Can you tell me the equalization?? Thanks!!!

[pechi82rr]

diary of a madman

[BloodRiver08]

i heard these amps were awesome. i heard one video and im like fuck this shit im buying the dsl... then i heard your video. turns out, some people's settings sound like shit. so how much would the cheapest marshall jcm 800 cost???

[armasiel]

@BloodRiver08 so wait you didn't try the amps for yourself before buying them? *facepalm*

[BloodRiver08]

i never bought the dsl. i bought a solid state without playing a tube head. so i returned my solid state and im figuring out how to get to buy this beast

[Harkerer]

@armasiel nice facepalm placement haha!!

[gunraykilla]

well i call it the dopeslap

[TarbleSauce]

@BloodRiver08 Look on ebay, I seen one for £300 but it had a few marks and chips but it was in full working order. Personally, I really don't care what state amps get into, I just care about there sound.

Guitars buy brand new.

Amps buy second hand.

[eheraldez]

Depends if you're willing to take one beat with some holes in it budget for around 600. Want one pure and non modded 800-1000. I recently traded my DSL for a 2204 which is the 50 version.

[blackrain012893]

check guitarcenter or sam ash. ebay never fails either

[AssassinSteven]

Is there enough gain on these stock for Van Halen?
