It breathes, it's chunky, it's not fizzy. There's a reason why so many thrash guitarist used it. It just needs an atenuater when not playing at full volume.
Have a Silver Jubilee Studio Classic (20/5 watt) and it's the perfect volume with all of the tone, or so close I can't tell from playing the 100w Silver Jubes.
I love the JCM800 "metallic and honky" midrange barks, it sounds super precise and properly dirty to my ears. I hate that modern amps focus on bass frequencies. Leave them for the bass guitar!
The modern amps have a more defined low end indeed. It seemed to have started with the dual rec but as with the dual rec, if you dial it in for midrange and sizzle up top they respond to that type of setup quite well. Just my opinion.
I used to really dislike the Marshall tone but the older I get and the more I understand tone, the more I love it and want one. This sounds great. Then again ola could plug into a bowl of jello and it'd sound good.
Agreed, I my opinion Marshalls really need to be pushed hard to get a good tone. A lot of other amplifier manufacturers manage to get decent tone at bedroom volume, but I feel like every time I've tried a Marshall at bedroom volume, it just sound tinny and nasally.
Wow, What a difference in presentation. ALL amp reviews should be recorded the same way. It really does sound/feel like I'm in the room.. Even listening on my phone there's a difference in sound.. Nice job ya Sweed😆👍
I grew up with the early versions of Marshall’s and to be honest, they’re the standard by which all great amps are measured!!! They simply kick ass!!! I also went thru a phase where I Had To try everything else-and I’m glad I did-in fact, I still enjoy plugging into different amps. BUT the minute I plug back into a Marshall, my ears can hearing it, my playing tightens up, then once I get that inevitable kick in chest, I feel like I’m home!! Almost like being a kid all over again🎶✊🏼

One of the best amps I've ever tried. From early Smashing Pumpkins and Fugazi to Slayer and Hate Eternal. Personally, I'd boost it. Phenomenal piece of kit.
I listened to a ton of thrash metal in the late 80s and early 90s, and most of the thrash albums were recorded using JCM800s. It’s a sound that I know well, and love.
@@panosmichal7920 this is a fact Gary and Rick from exodus used the jcm800 with two boost pedals. Gary used two boss sd1s and Rick used a sd1 and ts9 but Gary had his amp modded and ricks was stock
@@jacobgarcia2660 hey! Know I'm a bit late to the party, but I was under the impression of having read Rick's quote on the matter, and him saying that in the 80's he used to run a hot-rodded one to the point where the valves were glowing purple. Might be wrong, tho! Let me know.
Best amp Marshall ever made in my opinion, loved borrowing them at shows back when I was playing Death Metal. Wasn't so much a fan of the 900s. When hitting the front end super hard it almost sags from compression, I like that sound though, it's filthy as all hell.
Very punchy and organic sounding, also kinda love how it focus on the lower midrange without interfering with the lows lows and highs highs of a drummer and bassist. Its kinda perfect to "my ears"
Back in 2017 with my former band we used to rehearse in a studio where it had every amp you can think of. The first time we rehearsed there i entered one of the rooms and in one of the corners was a JCM800 with an orange cab with V30s. This was the meanest and craziest combo I've ever played to this day. Raw precise and chuggy. I will never forget it. The sound was amazing
The JCM800 is the perfect distortion amp for me. Anything from punk to metal, it just works. The Greenbacks are a nice speaker to pair it with, but as you noticed the lack of low end, some folks like the G12-65's which bring back some of that low end, or the G12M-65's (Creambacks) for some more low end than a Greenback but with a little more high end than the G12-65's.
My rig Is a moded 50watt JCM800 2204 and a reissue greenback cab from the 90's. I just had a fx loop installed, the original mod was a fourth 12ax7 in the preamp giving it gain for days. I got the amp in 1992 and have been driving it hard since.
Yeah I do own a JCM800 50W and this thing not only fits for metal but it's exxxtremely loud. This video is a good representation of the real thing, good job.
The head alone sounds stunning. I used to own one and had actually forgotten how articulate and outright “metal” they actually are! Man, I wish I’d never let it go now!!
Love this rig. My personal cabs have vintage 30’s, but it was cool hearing this rig with greenbacks tested playing da chugs. I’m sure these push a little more than my higher watt 30’s, just by wattage difference alone. I’m also glad you mentioned how you time align your mics. Is old school engineers gnash our teeth over projects that come to our desk that aren’t time aligned and then told why it’s not important to do so. Phase is important. You know this and I’m glad you passed this on to your viewers. Great vid as always. Love your stuff, Ola. Metal.🤘🏻
Man, this is a classic. Along with many other brands from the past. But Marshall jcm 800 moles. Now we play with fractal, line6, kemper but the truth is the collars are heavy amplifiers and the Marshall jcm800 is one of them!
I have a 1984 Marshall 2204 JCM 800 50 Watt going through a 412 Green back Marshall angled Cab. I would never ever let this rig go. I think Ola is demonstrating rather nicely why guitarists through out rock history have acquired this set up.
I remember Dallas Toler-Wade (ex-Nile, Narcotic Wasteland) showing his recording gear in some video and it was JCM900 with a boost and an old JCM800 cabinet. Such a great amp.
JCM 800 is insane. One of the best amps ever is the 6550 tubed version. It retains all the compacted character and adds some clarity and massive low end. Just crushes your balls balls. So no extra EQ needed.
That's all we need🤘 awesome... since 1984 I play Marshall... Marshalls have caracter...and believe it or not, when a Marshall is on, it smells on his own way...that's great🤗 ....long time ago a drummer came in our Band room and he said: hey, I can smell that your band only uses Marshall...really no joke....sounds good and smells good😉
I love my 800 2203x turret board rewired plus mods and hot mod. Mesa os cab with greenbacks up topa d v30’s on the bottom. Pop punk, classic rock, hardcore, and metal all come from that amp. It’s amazing, my favorite, my precious
HEY OLA, I REWATCH THIS VIDEO FROM TIME TO TIME. IT RAISES THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECK. REASON BEING, IS THAT I HAVE 2 OF THESE JCM 800 2205'S. ONE 4 TWELVE CAB WITH 65 WATTERS. AND THE OTHER WITH 75 WATTERS. BOTH RIGS ARE 1983'S. LOVE THEM. HAD THEM SINCE NEW. AMAZING AMPS. ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED MARSHALL HEADS AROUND. I'VE HAD 18 MARSHALL STACKS IN MY 67 YRS. ALL KINDS OF MODDED VERSIONS FROM LEE JACKSON, TRAIN WRECK, AND OTHERS. I PREFER THESE. BUT THERE IS NO BAD SOUNDING JCM 800.
Fact !!! The Marshall JCM 800 was the amp that all other amp builders of that era tested against to see where they stacked up tone wise , and many fell short . Killer stuff !!!
I love that golden solar,I started on a marshall back in the day.I can get away from them.but,when I hear one it makes me miss that lovely sound.only a marshall sounds like a marshall.🤘😜👍
That's a dreamy rig...I wish I still had my jcm 800, but I have the friedman be so I'm good....I love vintage 30s, but there is something about a greenback 4 x 12...my friend has an old one...it's magical....I do love the friedman cab too with half greenbacks and half v 30s...also magical....
On the deadweld audio duality pedal, when it comes to the blue side, you need to not push the volume past 12:30 MAX. If you push it past that, it overloads the circuit and causes it to fart and fall apart. Only reason I'm bringing it up is because I absolutely love that pedal, and the blue side is incredible for shaping metal amps, so I don't want anyone to hear it and go "thats awful why would anyone use that." Honestly it is an incredible boost, and deserves your attention :) and the built in noise gate is killer!!!
It's not the same amp at all. This is not an "all tube amp" The 2205 uses diode clipping for its main distortion stage and it sounds nothing like the 2204 that's using all tubes.
@@johanhansson4574 yeah, I know..I've never personally owned a 2205, but one of my main guitar heros, Michael Schenker did, and I loved his tone..I genuinely love the tone that Ola is getting in this video too, so I really do like pretty much any jcm800, but yeah, that 2204 I had was special..it really roared
The great thing about the Marshall tone is that it sounds great for Rhythm and Lead as well without changes the settings. Its chunky but full in the mids as well. Whereas with the dedicated chug machines your lead needs readjustment. I love the Mesa tone and its a killer rhythm tone but if you try to play leads with the same tone, you disappear into oblivion.
Three Best Marshall Tones of all time: Eddie Van Halen on any early VH record & 5150. Doug Aldrich on Whitesnake's "Forevermore" & "Good to Be Bad." Zakk Wylde on Ozzy's "No Rest for the Wicked" & "No More Tears."
I BELIEVE ZAKK USED LEE JACKSON METAL TRONICS PERFECT CONNECTION MOUNT TUBE PRE AMPS AND RACK MOUNT POWER AMPS. 3 COMPLETE DIFFERENT SET UPS. SET DIFFERENTLY. JUST USED A FOOTSWITCH TO SELECT WHICH TONE HE WANTED. I'VE SEEN HIS RIG, AND I HAVE THE SAME RIG MYSELF. BUT OF COURSE I DO LOVE JCM 800 2205'S. I HAVE TWO 2205 STACKS. ONE WITH 65 WATT SPEAKERS, AND ONE WITH 75 WATT SPEAKERS. BOTH HEADS ARE 1983 MODELS.
2:39 your tone and riffage is spot on Slayeresque. The JCM800 2205 has always been on my wishlist, but I’m never going to pay “that kinda money” for one! 🤷🏻♂️
Did they ever reissue the 2205 or 2210? I had 2 of the 2205s back in the '90s, but sold both. I've waited for years, but never heard of any reissues. Best Marshall head, imo. We called them "800 channel switchers" in the '80s.
Ola, dude, I could listen to this amp all day! And I think I prefer the Greenbacks but in a recording, I want to record one rhythm with the Greenbacks and another with tie V30s, and hard pan each. Great chugging, as usual! 🤘
The jcm 800 just cuts so damn well. Such an iconic sounds that works for doom, death, melodic and core genres. Fucking love it. I'm primarily a rectifier guy myself

It breathes, it's chunky, it's not fizzy. There's a reason why so many thrash guitarist used it. It just needs an atenuater when not playing at full volume.
the Greenbacks also makes the chunk more chunky, thicc even

Defination of 80s thrash metal those tones were so chunky and beautiful
I don't know if it sounds as good as the V firty!!
Not fizzy? Lol
This is probably one of my favorite rigs that you have showcased. For punk and rock and roll. This rig, will melt faces.
and old school metal,thrash,power metal etc etc etc etcv etc
absolutely!
Idk I would put that overdriven tone up against a 5150 honestly in a live mix
A cranked 800 is one of the best sounds of all time. 👌🏻
The foundations of metal. In the context of a live band, it is absolutely perfect, which is what these amps were designed for.
I love the JCM800 "metallic and honky" midrange barks, it sounds super precise and properly dirty to my ears. I hate that modern amps focus on bass frequencies. Leave them for the bass guitar!
Agreed, it makes a mix sound much more distinct and precise when you properly delineate frequencies to their respective instruments
agree!

There’s just something special about how mid focused and tight they sound. It’s a true benchmark tone

That sounds amazing!!!!
the 2205 is the best JCM 800 ever made.
It sounds worse and worse the more shit he stacked in the jcm800 is killer all in it's own !
