Marshall JCM900 4100 100-Watt Dual Reverb Guitar Amp Head

I use a big pedalboard, which is where my overdrive sounds come from, so this amp is perfect for me as it has plenty of headroom and the clean channel sounds amazing!

I've occasionally used the overdrive channel in an emergency when a pedal, patch lead or something has died part way through a gig, but I've never really used it as a go-to sound. I find it lacking quite heavily and have to fiddle with the EQ controls for ages to get a really good sound from it. As both channels share the EQ controls, this is quite undesirable as I like to have the EQ all set to 12 o'clock for clean but then all over the place for overdrive so it makes switching between channels a total drag.

I find the EQ controls are very responsive, and the reverb is pretty variable for an amp as well. A lot of amps I've tried will overpower the "personality" of a guitar and make everything sound quite distinctively similar, not exactly the same of course, but similar. For example, a Fender Twin will always sounds very much like a Fender Twin with either a Les Paul or a Stratocaster. I love how the JCM900 lets any guitar's individual sound come through. I've recently started playing with a strat for the first time in years and I love how differently this amp responds to the single coils.

A very versatile amp, even if the overdrive channel leaves a bit to be desired.

I absolutely love my JCM 900. It has all the familiar Rock Tones you love. I use it for every Guitar Recording and even if you turn all the knobs at 12, it will sound good.

This amp is Triple trouble, It has 3 times the Power, Sound, and is versatile in every way. Combined with my other half stack gives large venues that full and broad sound for all to here.

Great amp for metal, rock and blues. Sounds even better with a slight overdrive in the pedal chain with a noise suppressor.

I have owned this amp a couple of years ago and it was an okay amp. The clean is okay and effect friendly. The gain channel needs a little punch if you want it to be aggressive

Essentially this is a jcm800 cross triple rec, sounds like a JCM more nobs like a rec. recently re valved with KT88's.

The world-famous Marshall JCM900 is used by countless artists

Several people don't like it, but I totally LOVE it! Specially the dirty channel, that's how distortion should sound like: full throttle way up ahead! This and a Les Paul or SG is a great marriage and the perfect couple! A must have!
