this is not a what amp thread, let's get that out of the way.

Can someone explain the differences between the different models, 2203, 2204, 2205, etc?
What I think I know:
2203: 100w, can turn into a 2204 by yanking two power tubes + impedance switch
2204: 50w no verb
2205: this is where I get fuzzy...two channels? verb?

Which one has the most gain on tap other than the Kerry King/Zakk Wylde sigs? Or is there not much of a difference?

and how bout them JMPs? Where do they come into the question?

The 2203 is a 100w head, the 2204 a 50w head, and the 2205 a 50w head with two channels and reverb, IIRC.

In the end, The Silver Jubilee beats all

As for most gain, I'm not sure there's a difference. Those guys either boosted their amps, modded them, or both at various points in their carreers, which is why theirs are so high-gain.

I'm not familiar with the JMP's. The only Marshall's I've really cared about have been the JCM's, Bluesbreakers, and Plexi's, and I don't know nearly as much about the latter two. The JCM series has always been the one I've favored, although, it's had it's moments where it disappointed. (See: JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, Flaming JCM200's)

Really, the SLX and MKIII JCM900's were supposed to sound like hot-rodded 800's, sou you could always look into one of those, if you're asking because you want to buy.

Really, though, Splawn.
