Marshall JCM800 2210 and JCM800 1960A cab.

This is my other gem. The only 'effect' is an EQ in the loop. That's it. No front boost. The cab is from the 80's with 'vintage' T-75's. Killer!

oldGNRfan23, I just remembered that the single channel JCM800 DOESN'T have the FX loop. For boost, you would need to put it up front of course. In my experiments with the 2210, it sounded way better in the FX loop. So, if you end up with a SC JCM800, I would suggest using an OD pedal up front.

Hope this helps!

GNR, I use the EQ for BOOST and of course to tailor the tone. It makes the amp roar! I suggest you get one. The 2210, I believe, has more gain than the one channel JCM800, but get a JCM800 at a good price, condition anyway. The 2210 gives me that extra channel, so I have more options though. I use a NS-2 to keep the noise down and it works very well. I found that it doesn't affect my tone either.

You're funny brick! : )

I use the clean channel with a SD-1 for the classic stuff, but I'm mostly metal and I don't care too much about it.

Thanks for the comment!

Hi there. Good chops and tone. Could a stock JCM 800 get me a sound such as early Metallica but NOTHING heavier? Stuff from blues (Clapton) to rock(GN'R) to metal(Metallica). Thanks in advance and KEEP ON ROCKING!

[poconoporker]

Absolutely! The JCM800 is THE rock standard! I only have an EQ in the loop and nothing else. If I want AC/DC, classic rock, I click off the EQ or I use the clean channel with a SD-1! Blues, use the clean channel, tweak with the master volume and you're there! Metallica is very easy to get with this amp. GNR, no prob! If you see a great deal on a JCM800, jump on it! Mine is from 1984. : )

Nice studio, do the piles of dirty cloths help with the quality of the sound? 

[VHTLtdDimarzio]

Tone is in the laundry room.

@oldGNRfan23 yeah the 2210 has more gain then the one channel version, the one channel version isnt meant to be a heavy gain amp so you would probably have to use some pedals

[thrashmetalgodess87]

@oldGNRfan23 yes most def... i have and 2203 i run a wylde overdrive and maybe a eq and get that nice high end thrashy sound for sure..!!!!!!!!!

i just got a 1989 jcm 800 2210... amazing, set it up with a 1960A, sounds great! no pedals, just my les paul, sg, and my fingers

everybodys gonna hate me for this I got a stock 2210 for £250 with a cabinet to I couldnt belive it the guys at Marshall said they would but it from me for £2000 since its a original one absolulety crazy i would never get rid of it through its its my baby !!!

I have a late 80's JCM 800 2210, I love it also! I never use any effects, just the Les Paul... I do use a Weber Attenuator so I don't have to go deaf to get a great sound. Good Post.
