Marshall JCM800 2203 Vintage 100W Tube Head Amp

Marshall JCM800 2203 Vintage 100W Tube Head Amps are used in Green Day guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong's live setup.

McCready used countless different Marshall's in the early 90's but his main go to was the JCM 800.

One of the most famous Marshall amp and one of the most representative of Marshall sound. Slash mainly played on this head during the early Guns N' Roses years. "We changed out the tubes in this for 6550's, other than that, it's stock," Slash's guitar tech Ace says in this video at (7:30).

Used on the first two Alice in Chains albums, Facelift (1990) and Dirt (1992). The amp was modified by Reinhold Bogner, who later worked closed with Jerry on most of his amps.

As told in his interview to Premier Guitar.

Zakk Wylde uses a pair of Marshall JCM800 heads on tour with Black Label Society. He and his rhythm guitarist each run through a pair of Marshall amps and cabinets, creating a quadraphonic stereo space. "Basically we have four live cabinets running," Wylde says in this Guitarist Magazine video at (2:10). "It just gives you that wide [sound]...especially when you hit the chorus pedal...everything gets super wide," he says at (2:44).

“At the moment, I’m getting my JMP sent over from Australia because my JCM800s are not doing what I need them to do. They’re great, but for the schizophrenic kind of dual world, it doesn’t quite work. So I’m tandem-ing at the moment; I’ve got a 100-watt bass Marshall head behind it that’s giving me the power to my JCM800. But normally, it would be a JMP 100-watt Super Lead - hopefully from somewhere around the late 60s to early 70s - and then a Fender DeVille.” - excerpt from his Music Radar interview.

This Marshall JCM800 was used by Rosas at Eric Clapton's 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival along with a 1960B cabinet.

Brad Delson used it while recording 'Meteora'.

This article says that James used a modded Marshall JCM800 in conjunction with a Pro Co Rat distortion pedal.

in this photo you can see jason everman on the left of the stage using a marshall jcm800 head on a marshall 1960a 4x12,and a fender twin reverb 2x12. he used this amp set up for all of the 1 month he played shows with nirvana.

At 2:52 in the video "Q&A Steve Cradock" you hear Steve say, "In the 90's i used to use Marshall stacks, sort of the JCM 800 series, and the more the better really. I also had them covered purple for some reason.... mabey i was going through a "Jimi Hendrix thing."

On the [Gear page](http://www.billyduffy.com/gear/marshall-jcm800-amplifier/) of Billy Duffy's website, he says, "After the ‘Electric’ tour Jamie moved back to bass and I ended up having four Marshall amps, which are the JCM 800s... I still have those four Marshalls today, they’ve pretty much lasted through all the years of abuse, all the tours we’ve done and they’re pretty much all still running."

At 5::53 he explains how he runs his guitar through the "awesome" JCM800's power section with a headrush board in the loop.

Although it’s hard to say for sure, but Dave most likely used a lot of different JCM800s during the Megadeth’s first three-four albums. He was playing them through DeCuir Cabinets with Celestion speakers.

In this picture, Andreas is posing next to two JCM800 head amplifiers.

As told in an interview to the Dunlop blog.

This amp goes all the way back to the early Exodus days, and Gary still uses and loves it today.

"I have my JCM800 at home," Monte says, at 1:14 in this video.

At 0:30 minustes, you can see that there is a JCM800 head sitting on a cabinet. in this clip, Tom explains that he used the Marshall and a Mesa Boogie for Blink 182's studio album "Dude Ranch".

"A fan of his Marshall amps, using JCM800 heads and 1960BX cabinets, Ricky Warwick noted: “Guitar + Marshall = The Sound of my Rock 'n Roll!”"

In this video Billy Corgan says, "We had the issue where we were both playing Marshall JCM800s", refering to James Iha and himself.

I use mainly Wizard amps live. In the studio, it varies, but the Wizards are always there. They are custom built in Canada by Rick St. Pierre who has been with AC/DC for decades. They are pretty unmatched when it comes to clarity, volume and tone. They’re not an easy amp to play; they force you to be on your game and really show the player themselves.

Bottom right hand corner, both Farriss brothers and Kirk Pengilly used Marshall heads and cabs throughout INXS's entire history for every area of performance and recording

"...I think my Marshall 800 was on everything."

An image pulled from [spfc.org](http://www.spfc.org/band/equipment.html?equipment_id=26&img_disp=img&img_id=944) (Smashing Pumpkins Fan Club dot ORG) with the following caption: BC w/ the Marshall head, labeled "SOUL", and slant cabinet, Marshall logo modified to say "Mars" Some supplemental tidbits taken from a notable blog, [Ain't No Sleep When You're Living The Dream](http://glittercop.blogspot.se/2009/10/body-and-soul-behind-guitar-sounds-of.html): KB to Billy Corgan: What are your memories about the amp? Billy Corgan: When I first bought the amp in 1989 from this stoner guy, I thought it sounded ok but I think I was more excited to just be playing thru a Marshall. I realized after a time that I wasn't that crazy about the sound so I asked Mike to look at it and see what he could do. After he changed the tubes to the KT88s the amp just sprang to life, and it was the body of the amp that I used to drive insane amounts of distortion into to get 'that sound'. Butch Vig and I were so sold on the sound of the amp that outside of a few select parts, I would say that 98pct of all guitar parts on the first two albums were done thru this amp/speaker combo. In order to change the sound, the Stratocaster parts would be recorded through a shure 57 on the bottom right speaker, and the Les Paul parts would be recorded through a Sennheiser 421 on the top left speaker. This subtle difference between what speaker we would use created the sense of playing thru a different amp set-up even though obviously I wasn't.

"It's pretty simple, a JCM 800 for clean, and a JCM 900 for distortion," Mike says, at 1:20 in this video.

On [this message board](http://jasonbeckerguitar.com/board/read.php?22,1383,3148), someone asks Jason what amp he used on Perpetual Burn, and he confirms that it was a Marshall JCM800.

"Hale is a no-nonsense woman, happy with the simple things, like a 2013 Marshall JCM800 special made for Lzzy in her signature white and gold," reads [this article](Hale is a no-nonsense woman, happy with the simple things, like a 2013 Marshall JCM800 special made for Lzzy in her signature white and gold.)

On [Guitar Geek](http://www.guitargeek.com/kevin-shields-my-bloody-valentine-guitar-rig-and-gear-setup-1991/), this gear diagram shows that Kevin Shields uses two Marshall JCM800 amp heads.

Jeff used two Marshall JCM800 amp heads in his 2002 rig, according to Guitar Geek's [rig diagram](http://www.guitargeek.com/jeff-hanneman-slayer-guitar-rig-and-gear-setup-2002/).

Ian described the JCM800 as his primary head amp in [this rig rundown](http://www.guitargeek.com/ian-mackaye-fugazi-guitar-rig-and-gear-setup-1999/) with Guitar Geek.

According to Guitar Geek's [rig rundown](http://www.guitargeek.com/guy-picciotto-fugazi-guitar-rig-and-gear-setup-1999/), Guy uses a Marshall JCM 800.

I use a Marshall JCM800, and it’s got an extra circuit in there with extra distortion, a built-in gate and built-in delay and reverb. I usually have that for the leads to boost them a little bit.

Jake uses the amp during the 80's with Ozzy

> I played most of the basic tracks on the album through a Marshall JCM800 combo.

Used on the I Am Gemini tour and Kasher's Adult Film tour.

Marshall amps: Usually a Plexi, or a JCM800 (as seen here.) Greg's main touring amplifiers in the later years were rented Marshall heads, which he ran with a singular 4x12 cabinet. Greg hated these amps because they sounded very generic and colorless to him, so he ran his homemade preamps into them.

"Oh, man! I have a Marshall JCM 800M that's from the '80s, and it's 100 watt."

"When we recorded with Joe (Crash Love Producer), I used my modified Marshall “Plexi” mixed with a Marshall 800, a Custom Audio OD -100 and a Bogner Shiva, which is a big part of my sound on this album. I’d never used that amp before, and it sounded great with a Les Paul"

Justin can be seen playing a Marshall JCM 800 with matching Marshall cab.

Schwarzenbach used this amp with Jawbreaker from about 1990 to 1995, right after the recording of "Dear You", then switching to Plexis. The amp has "BLAKE" written in white on upper right corner of grill cloth. Blake bought it from Ian Mackaye of Fugazi fame and then sold it to Kristopher Roe of The Ataris, who eventually has auctioned it off Ebay.

For almost all of his musical career Reis has relied on Marshall JCM800s, modified by having the head shells stripped open in the front and back and the amplifier chassis reversed in the shell so that the rear plate is facing the front of the stage. Reis has explained that this allows the heads to run a bit cooler—essential for the sweaty marathon shows for which Rocket From The Crypt were known.

[Ryan Ferguson] played through a Marshall JCM800. I'm pretty sure he used no pedals either except maybe a tuner.

Amir uses modified Marshall JCM 800 amp heads in the studio, according to Guitar Geek's [rig diagram](http://www.guitargeek.com/amir-derakh-orgy-guitar-rig-and-gear-setup-2000/).

"We always use anything that we think is necessary. There are plenty of Les Pauls on a lot of tracks, but there are others as well. The live approach and the studio approach are two totally different animals. You treat them differently. There are things that we would use live exclusively. When we’re in the studio we use whatever we think is going to add to the part. I didn’t just go in there with my (Marshall) JCM-800 and use it exclusively."

"I have a ’64 Gibson SG with one P-90 pickup in it, and that’s pretty much it for me. I love that guitar. I use a JCM800 with split channels, because that’s what I was doing back then when we did It’s A Shame About Ray. And and Ampeg bass cab I have tonnes of guitars. I’ve got one from 1918!"

John McGeoch says, in this interview, "The output is a split mono line which goes to a Marshall 100w stack, a JCM800 on one side and the other side is a Roland JC-120. The Marshall gives me the power and the Roland has a nice clean-ish sound without being weak." John can be found pictures with his Marshall JCM800 [here](http://images1.bonhams.com/image?src=Images%2Flive%2F2010-05%2F28%2F8054152-7-1.jpg&width=640&height=480&halign=l0&valign=t0&autosizefit=0)

On the Toy Dolls' 'Ask Olga' webpage, Algar states that he prefers the Marshall JCM800 2203 amp for live use. This seems consistent with photos and videos throughout the Toy Dolls' career. Algar also seems to favor a 4x12 Marshall cab with the JCM800 head, though some live photos show some unbranded or customized 4x12 cabs.

The amplifier head on the left hand side stack of Orange 4x12" cabs as seen at 2:58 in this video of Catfish and the Bottlemen playing at Reading 2015 is a vintage Marshall JCM800 as denoted by the just visible name stamp, but also more obviously by the number of controls on the face of the amplifier head.

"This has been my main head for 10+years now. It's the master volume version. Absolutely one of the best JMP model Marshall's I've played through. It does everything I need it to do and it's always been reliable. Crank up the pre amp knob and that's all you really need!"

A Marshall JCM800 amplifier can be seen behind Eddie in the photo.

It’s based on the Marshall JCM 800, which is what I usually play at fly out gigs. Read More: A Conversation With Electric Wizard’s Liz Buckingham | http://www.invisibleoranges.com/interview-liz-buckingham/?trackback=tsmclip
