first year stock 1981 Marshall jcm 800 2204 with a Plank Cranker

here is a quick video I made with my Plank Cranker pedal, plugged in to a 1981 Marshall JCM 800 2204, the cabinet is a 1973 Marshall 1960B with 25w greenbacks in it, I used a Gibson Les Paul Standard, this was shot with a cheap digital camera,the sound isn't the best but here it is, and yes I know it's sloppy

Have you ever played this amp through an attenuator, like a hotplate?

[smeagma]

@cast390 I use to have a marshall power brake it was ok

[DavidColledani]

do you now any way how could I get the plank cranker? Schematics of it?

[smeagma]

ONLY 30 WERE MADE

[smeagma]

yes it is a 2204 and if you need 2 channels you better get a 2nd amp

That notched midrange sound is THE JCM800 sound IMHO. Great Vid

Hey there, what do you think of the Greenbacks with your JCM? I have a cabinet with G12T-75s in it and I hate the sound of them... So I'd like to know if you have any experience with other speakers, specifically the greenbacks (which obviously I know you have now) and the Vintage 30s. Thanks!

great tone man,i love the harmonics too man,awesome

i think it sounds fine. can you please tell me what your control knob settings are on this video. I have almost the same model different year. People dont beleive me when I tell them how much its worth. These amps have more of a 100 watt vibe. I have often wondered how it would sound with green backs. I use the Marshall 1960 with GT75's at this time.

@pdautg thanks

[pdautg]

btw, smeagma...you apologize for the sound not being the best because of cheap equipment..or lack of skill.  but man...that cuts through to my ears. point taken. no questions.

[pdautg]

to hear. peace on you.
