See, that's the thing right there! Marshall's midrange is perfect. It records perfectly. It cuts through the live mix perfectly. The bedroom amps are deceiving. When you're playing by yourself they sound great and feel great. Take them out of the bedroom and they disappear. This amp will sit perfectly in the mix once everyone else is playing and be inspirational. You won't be wondering all night why your amp doesn't sound like it did when you were at home.
Amazing tone! Had you ran a tube screamer in the mix...my eyes would have rolled to the back of my head and my toe nails would have shot off my toes and stuck into the wall across the room! Love this sonic beast!
Such a usable bedroom and recording amp now, thanks to the Boss Wazacraft Tube Amp Expander. The tone of this one is just a monster. People are going to start snatching these beasts up now.
LPMojoGL Yeah for sure- around 11 for this one is where the power amp kicks in heavily which is RIGHT at drummer levels so it’s perfect. Still sounds great with the volume lower honestly. It’s just super meaty, honest, and raw. I’ve thought about getting jmp 2204 to compare but there are so many other amps I want to try.
Ha. I also have a modded 4010, and used to have a JMP 2204. They all sound a bit different. A good 2204, imo, sounds huge and has more of a singing mids thing going on. What else are you looking at?
LPMojoGL Had a horizontal 800 2204. Sounded great but so damn loud. I mean crushingly loud to get the sound filled out. Looking at some high gainers at the moment- Mark series. JP2C possibly an OG C+
Nice. I played a c++ that was stupid great. The JP2C rox, too. Looking forward to more great vids. Cheers! Oh yeah, have a go with a Naylor if you ever get the chance.
I have a friend at NASA who works on Fighter Jets, and he says even wiring length is crucial to performance. Things like this must be kept consistent in order for top flight machinery to function within parameters. Like the exclusive use of the 4n7 bright capacitor. Nuances such as this and others give this Marshall it distinctive KERRANG sound !!!
Would be cool if they did, but it's schematically so similar to the 2203 that they already make. I don't know if I see it happening, but I'd like for you to be right.
Sorry, but absolutely nothing beats the Marshall JMP or Plexi 1987. These amps were built with singleness of purpose. Screw flexibility or any type of multi-use ideals. This is the amp for “Hard Rock.” Almost had one many years ago, but it was sold out from under me. I later bought the 2204, and it was in the form “of a very early JCM 800, it 3:10 was not the same at all. The nuance of the wiring and amp design makes the JMP unique and powerful. “Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining.
Love this era of 2204's -2203's. Some of the best amps Marshall ever made.

Absolutely!
Some things really were better "back in the day"...
Exactly how a pissed off OG Marshall should sound like. I miss my stock ‘77 JMP so damn much man. Great clip, cheers 🍻

My favorite rock tone ever, I’ll hopefully be getting a 1977 soon

Nice. Have a 78, myself. They really come alive about halfway up the master volume. Thankful for the Suhr RL!

Oohhh...KAY!!! That’s a great tone!!!

Ok ...so it's down to the basement for me today..... Plug in and play... My 1980 jmp 2203 50W. ,😆👌
This is my favorite demo of this amp i have heard so far great playing man. I just got one of these and it rules.
I've been waiting! A long time now!
Glorious
Dream amp
Stone Temple Pilots!!!! Killer tone, love your channel
Thanks man!
so good
Yessir
Great sounding amp. Are you running EL34 valves? Greenbacks or Vintage 30s?
John Martz Thanks man. EL34s here and vintage 30s!
The best
That sounds so good. Great demo. Are you recording straight from the reactive load into recording software?
Good evening Blake ,.love your tone and playing !.....I love SG's and was curious which one and what kind of pickups it has ?....tx
Lou Sekoya Thanks Lou! 2018 Historic SG with Custombuckers. Really low output and bright- they’re great
@@blakemansfield2356 Now I know why it sounds so good !........Thank you Blake ! Lou from Quebec
Sounds like you got a keeper! They can hit or miss stock. This is a hit. If I may, what pups ? Thnx
Unfortunately I did let it go. Great amp. Pickups were Gibson custombuckers
@@blakemansfield2356 ouch. I hear ya. I've been there. Thanks for p/u info.
has so much grit it covers up string noise.
Sounds mean as fuck
Sweet tone bro, have you tried the Bogner Helios ?
Yes. 50 and 100. Awesome amps. Been a little while though
I predict Marshall will reissue this amp soon.
Would be cool if they did, but it's schematically so similar to the 2203 that they already make. I don't know if I see it happening, but I'd like for you to be right.
They still make it. The JMP 2203 and the JCM800 2203 are schematically the same. The only difference is the manufacturer and quality of components.
It would be totally cool, if they reissue this 1980 Marshall head. At one time I had four of them at one time. And I wish I never got rid them.
I wish they'd reissue the 2204.
yes ---- no pedal hahhahahahaahhaha
Does it Has a fx loop or you install fx loop yourself?

How I wish my 77 JMP combo sounded half that good. Input 1 has about 1/3 the gain that thing has. I use a Friedman BE in input 2 to get gain.
You have to turn up the master too, then you get that gain.
mid 79's had more gain on them
This is so far removed from the sound of a stock 2203 / 2204 amp - you must have some mods or plugins going on here
Na
No pedals... bullshit! What is that nasty echo in the background?
