"If you want pure tube Marshall sound, get this amp."

Feature:
Simple.

Quality:
Used on the road for ten+ years, but keep a matched set of tubes handy, all tubes have a lifespan.

Value:
Bang for the buck. $1600-2000 seems like a ton of money (seeing as though I bought mine used for $200 in 1989) but if I needed to replace I'd pull a fast one to get the loot.

Sound:
This amp was the sound of the time, and for my taste the sound for all time. I've plugged everything from Fender Mustangs, Les Pauls, Teles, to my Harmony Patrician with a Mod 200 DeArmond into mine and I get tone, volume and chunk out of every one. If you play seriously you need to drop the dough on one.

Support:
Didn't need it.

About This Product!
Description
Docs
The all-valve JCM800 2203 is one of the most highly respected 100-watt Marshall heads in the company's long history. Evolving from the legendary 100 Watt Plexi head, it was also their first amplifier to feature a Master Volume (MV) control. The very essence of simplicity, the JCM800 2203 is a 1-channel, all-valve amp with no reverb or built-in effects. Its foolproof interface, distinctive roar and larger-than-life edge immediately set the standard by which all other rock amps were judged and it remained the industry benchmark throughout the entire 16 years of its production life. Now it's back by popular demand and they've taken this opportunity to give it a Series Effects Loop that features a true Bypass switch that takes the loop completely out of the circuit, thus ensuring the original tone isn't compromised in any shape or form.
