    I play a ‘79 JMP 2204 through a 60’s Marshall B cab loaded with 25w English greenies with Les Paul p90 guitars. Crank that amp up with a LP Jr. Hear that sound? That’s the sound of women runnin’ round with no panties on. Have mercy Miss Percy.

    Great demo. I had to smile when it came to the Zakk Attack '88 section. The Boss SD-1 can sound a bit meh with some amps, but into a 2203 it is pure magic.

    I've got this amp myself. I don't think I will ever hear an amp that has a better overdriven sound than this one. I like it with all kinds of speakers except for the V30. This video confirms that as well for me.

    Very nice video! Great sounds and playing! I´ve owned this same amp since 1985, new filtercaps a couple years ago and checking up on circuitboard and soldering. I recently got hold of a 90-s 1960AX cab with the 6402 coned greenback remakes and it made huge difference nailing those vintage rock sounds (used to run 1991 V-30s for a more "metal" sound) . A little lead-push from a SD-1 and a dunlop wah is all I need right now. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Excellent video! I have a 1976 Marshall JMP 2203 MkII Master Model Lead 100W, and it screams. I have played JCM800's and I even had a 71 class A head. The 2203 just gives you great tone and everything that you want in a Marshall. I bought mine from a friend in 1980. It came with a 1960A cabinet all for the whopping price of $600.00. It has been my companion since. I had a 50 watt /switch put in for small clubs.

    That's the definitive rock sound. I personally think I prefer the 50 watt JMP 2204 version with a little less clean headroom. They are both also nearly identical to the JCM 800 equivalents, but much more pleasing to the eye.

    Great video guys! I have a 1977 JMP and it is absolutely incredible. Lots of tone shaping using simple controls. Very loud amp but gives you all kinds of rock tones. It’s not a rectifier and it never tries to be. I run mine through a 1960AX with G12M Greenbacks.

    What is the most tonally accurate JCM800 2203 that you can buy new? Ceriatone sounds brighter and so does the 2203x, in my opinion.

    • @zenamplification
      @zenamplification  Год назад +2

      The 2203X is the closest I think we've heard, but yes it's at the brighter end of the scale. The old ones all differ though, hard to know if it's age or they started off that way.

    ALL the clips sound great, but the Badlands riff was so spot on, it got me to wondering if that's the amp he used for that album. I assumed it was a "1959" style amp, but in that clip Leon nails it with the 2203! (it's probably 90% Leon and 10% amp and cab anyway)

      @zenamplification  Год назад +1

      Just a gain knob. This circuit however does sound pretty great with the master up and preamp gain down a bit though. Changes the character of the drive and sounds a bit more old school / plexi. It does get LOUD though.

      The JMP 2203 Master Volume was released in the mid 70's. When the JCM800 series was introduced, many models were carried over mostly unchanged other than the cosmetics. So yes this is very similar to what most people think of when you say 800.
