I was wondering what the difference was between a JCM2000 and a JCM800

[plexilespaul]

@muzikscud23 the jcm 2000 is more versatile and has better clean... the 800 is more punchy and crunchy in the distortion department

[guitarsalert]

what does the whole , 2204 2205 2203 thing mean?

[plexilespaul]

@guitarsalert the jcm 800 line models. 2204- 50 watt 2203-100 watt and so on

[Zeoilvia]

MG sucks. I have one :/

[BoogyWoogyCreep]

50 Watts on a Marshall JCM 800 is enough to remove your balls if your not careful.

RATM! USES THIS!

@plexilespaul the 2205 is also a 50 watt, but with a high gain channel too

@guitarsalert

Sort of.. 2203-50 watt, 2204 100 watt, yes. The 2205 is a little different circuit. 2 channels, reverb. There is also a bridge rectifier type distortion added to the gain channel. Kind of a built in tube screamer. For this reason, it's often considered the first of the worse, or the last of best, depending on your opinion. IMO, it adds a nice little mid bump that'll fatten up a single coil guitar(cool), but'll take away some organic Humbucker crunch/squish.

@muzikscud23 jcm 2000 sounds like shit compared to 800

@Supertzar999 Yess Ive been thinking of getting the Vintage Modern, especially because its very versatile and has bigger sound range than JCM and also sounds good in bedroom... thats one of the major problems i have. I play live but Id love to practice with this beauty in my apartment too

[Supertzar999]

@dzava Unless you really feel you need the 100watts, you might be able to find a used 2205 head on Ebay for about $850. That's what I paid for one last year for my 82' 2205. Had some uprgades done on it for about $350 which included a Mercury OT, Caps, Fred Diodes and replaced the tubes with JJ's. So I paid about $1200 where I would have paid around $1600 - $1700 for one of the newer Marshall heads. I'd say it's much better suited for the music you want to play and more touch responsive too.

Eddie you have been busted..

[urkingod]

Why is this JCM 800 SO HUGE? I thought JCM 800 was a home practice amp in the size of little box (I have seen on Youtube). I guess this model? comes in all different sizes. Also in Stackable style as well ??

[wheeldeal]

Classic tone is an understatement....

[JimmyF95]

@guitarsalert

very simple. Jcm 800 2203- 100watt; 2204-50watt; 2205- 50 watt 2 channel; 2210- 100watt 2 channel
