JCM900 SL-X

I acquired this amp a while ago and I think this is one of the best amps I have owned and played. I have also a JMP2203 and Jubilee 2555 and I have had many more high end guitar amps and this is my favourite one.

It's a full tube amp, no diodes whatsoever (even though many claim this is the case) and extra gain is added by the second gain stage tube. One channel, although it has two master volumes that you can use for example to boost solos.

The amp itself is not as easy as other Marshalls to set because two gains are working in conjunction with each other and the gain is different type in gain A and gain B. Also jumping the fx loop with a cable and setting its level does wonders to the bottom end in my opinion. For me this is the Marshall to have and would recommend it highly.
