New amp DAY!!!!

[greyskull]

Just got a 1985 (thats as old as me!!!) Jcm 800 2205

Goddamm this thing is awesome.... when its working, slightly dodgy at the mo, needs a trip to marshall.
but check it out!

CLIPS COMING VERY VERY VERY SOON

 

[punkrockacademyfightsong]

yes, great amps! one guitar player in my band has a 2210 (the other a 2203) the 2210 gives a nice powerful saturation but maintains the detailed clean "ringy" tones very well.
curious about your clips!

 

[MetalJonesy]

f'in sweet mate!!! the guys at marshall are soo cool, wen things fall off (like my cab logo etc) they replaced em for free!!

 

[Machinated]

Looks fucking nice mate.

Marshall's factory is not far from where I live, and their customer service is really good; dropped stuff round there quite a few times now.

 

[Keessi]

you'll fucking love that amp, I'm sure! I have a 2204 from 85ish and it's a beast! saved a lot of my mixes cause it really fills up the midrange better than any amp pretty much. Have fun!

 

[KillDivision]

All Volbeat records are Marshall 2210.

 

[-J-]

wow.

also wow that you can just drop by the marshall factory and drop off an amp for fixing!?! for some reason, I didn't expect that.

I used to have a 50 watter, but I actually don't know what the model number was, I just know it sounded awesome. it needed a pedal and with that it became VERY noisy, but it was nice.

 

[Metaltastic]

Damn, I love that wheat grille - nice score man, though what exactly is dodgy about it?

 

[greyskull]

one of the preamp valves keeps popping out i think, and causes the amp to sound like you've got your finger on the end of guitar lead!

Just lasted a whole day of being cranked and a band practice though... we'll see!!

It sounded great with the whole band, cut right through a dual rec with the 800's volume on one!
Christ this thing is loud... and awesome!

 

[Metaltastic]

Damn, and the 2205 is only 50 watts, right?

 

[KeithTidd]

very nice, i love the grill color.

 

[Metaltastic]

And I just noticed you have the world's smallest rack sitting on top of it

 

[greyskull]

playing with this thing has also made me realise that
A) I was using too much gain before,
B) Not all amps NEED a tubescreamer in front of it

 

[iekobrid]

And I just noticed you have the world's smallest rack sitting on top of it

When you trim down the rack, the head looks bigger.

 

[greyskull]

Haha indeed! Again I can't stress how ace this amp is! Such a wicked mid range! It's a perfect partner to a dual rec or 5150.
Only problem I have now it's fixed is it being so godamn loud!

 

[3holeface]

just picked up the same but a 100watt version, love it so far but am having a hard time getting a treble and prres mix...they are soo touchy. what have your settings been so far? Also I have the 1960a matching cab and want to hear this through some V30's, any difference in tone?

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

Yes, super score!

 

[Force666]

Do these amps have bleed between the two channels?

 

[HeadCrusher]

Some of the do, some don't...

I love my jcm 800 2204 from '82. ( white tolex LTD Ed finish) Sounds class on so many different types of projects. I don't use it live much anymore but it records so well. A couple of the bands I've had in to record have gone crazy over it and offered me very nice money for it but I can't part with it!
