IT IS!!!
my BRAND NEW!! MARSHALL JCM800 2203KK
I walked into the music store i always use on monday and asked, how much is the JCM800KK they looked it up and to my surprize they could get it to me for $1700!!! which is the american price. he told me there was only 2 left in canada, Marshall discontinued the JCM800KK it`s now gonna be a special order amp. So well i HAD to get one, this has been my dream amp since it came out, as some know, Kerry King is my idol and i always wanted my rig to be what his is, but i`m not rich like he is, but i`m getting close.... to having the rig from hell.
Review:
This amp is NOT for the weak, it`s 100 watts of pure insanity, Single channel maddness. and it`s HEAVY in both ways, this head is close to 50 lbs, but what do you expect from a marshall, it`s built like a tank.
100 watts...
this head is LOUD!!! i had the master at 6 and it was shaking my floor and made my ears ring and made my head pound in about 5 mins of playing.. to think at 6 your just getting started with this amp.
JCM 800...
this amp as you know is based on the legandary JCM800 and it basicly is a 800, the purists will argue this fact cause this head uses KT88`s and not the EL 34`s... so the tone isn`t EXACTLY like a normal 800 but if your buying this amp you know your not buying just a normal 800. it can do cleans, it can do classic rock and metal.... but this head really is a one trick pony.....
the BEAST...
theres a nifty little buttion that lights up whats it do??? lets push it.... holy mother F**KER... the gain in this amp is more then ANYONE will ever need, but this head has a wicked lil feature called the gate, the gate is a noise gate built right into the amp, this is just pure genious... when you stop playing and hold your hand on the strings the amp stops all unwanted noise but wont clamp down one your playing (unless you have it set on zero) the assualt is my favrite knob on this amp, yes thats right, this is where Kerry Kings tone curve comes in, it also throws a shit ton of gain on top of everything. and to everyone that thinks thrash tone is all about scooped mids.. your wrong... king uses alot of mids which the assualt dails in as you turn it up, there is no gettin lost in the mix with this head, and sound guys everywhere will probly hate you HAHA cause of the sheer power this demon can unleash.
don`t waste my time....
this amp is basicly plug and play, once you figure out your EQ settings, there is NO reverb, there is NO 2,3 or even 4 channels on this head... hell you don`t even get a FX loop... it has everything you need and nothing you don`t... 3 band EQ, gain, master and the noise gate, which IS highly needed in a metal amp. if you like me and just wanna plug your guitar into your head and play LOUD aggressive music this head`s for you.
you can play anything with this head as long as it`s METAL, but you wouldn`t be buying a Kerry King signature if you played rock HAHA.
so if you want a basic very simple head that will have your parents, nieghbours, and cops and sound guys everywhere cursing your name this head is for you. so go get one and play the next legandary song, just make sure it`s LOUD and METAL \m/
*ya i know i cant spell worth shit LOL*
