1) About the JCM800 2204 amplifier
Our British series of amplifiers has been overwhelmingly popular, and is still the backbone of our amplifier line. One of the most
popular models in this series is the JCM800 2203/2204.
This amplifier is based on the British amplifiers built in the late 1970s and 1980s. Their iconic sound is signature to countless
records, ranging from blues, to classic rock, fusion, and heavy metal. While their lineage is in the Plexi Super Lead amplifiers
of the late 1960s, the JCM800 2203/2204 provided a modern, updated perspective.
You'll notice our version holds true sonically, but adds modern features including external bias measurement and adjustment,
an effects loop. It is worth noting we do not use a PCB for this amplifier, as was done on the original. Our construction method
employs handmade turret boards and wiring, as on the original Plexis of the 1960s.
Most of all, we hope the 2204 becomes an integral part of your tone equation to exhilarate your playing and music.
Rock on!
