There is a difference between the early 2203/2204 and the later dual channel models 2205/2210 models. The JCM800 is considered a 'hot' amplifier because it has more gain stages than comparable amplifiers. The amplifier was equipped with E元4 valves (tubes) for amps sold in the UK and 6550 tubes for amps exported to the United States. Still, some users prefer the pre-JCM800 amplifiers, claiming that those have a warmer, less 'brittle' sound. Marshall quickly reverted to the older Celestions. Initially, users complained that the amplifiers (used with the standard Marshall cabinets) sounded flat compared to the older Marshalls, until it was discovered (by accident) that the fault was with the speakers: The new cabs had been equipped with a new kind of Celestion speakers. They also had an effects loop and reverb, also a first for Marshall. These were equipped with two channels, which could be activated via a foot switch, allowing for separate lead and rhythm sounds. Soon, however, the Model 22 appeared on the market.

The first JCM800s were in fact Master Volume amplifiers (Models 22, at 100 and 50 watts respectively), repackaged in new boxes with new panels. Compared to the earlier 'Master Volume' series, they offered some advantages, including the possibility to be patched internally and linked with other amplifiers.

These were the second series of Marshalls equipped with a master volume, which allowed for more distortion at lower volumes. It quickly became a very successful amplifier, and ubiquitous amongst hard rock and heavy metal bands. The series included head amplifiers with matching cabinets, as well as combos, and was produced until the 1990s. For example, the JCM900 was released in 1990 and the JCM2000 was released in 2000. It was later noted that '800' stood for the decade. The name comes from Jim Marshall's initials, 'J.C.M.', coupled with the meaningless '800' from the number plate on his car. The JCM800 was the first series produced after the contract expired.

Without the holes in the back of the chassis, this would be a $3K amp, but you have chance to steal it away today for $2K + shipping, full PayPal offered for your purchase protection, but will discount accordingly for other forms of payment (IEMT, certified cheque, gov't/postal MO, etc).In 1981, Marshall finally reached the end of its 15-year distribution deal with Rose-Morris, which had severely limited its potential to sell amplifiers outside England Rose-Morris tagged 55% onto the sticker price for exported models. This baby's ready to rock and works/sounds incredible (UNBELIEVABLE with an SG!!), just as you'd expect given that it was built just a few months after the last plexi JMP's and shares virtually the same sound/components but at half the price (Emerald City has a '68 listed for $5,495 and it doesn't even have all the original transformers!).

Bright cap has been lifted, but is reversible (don't know why anybody'd want to reverse it, however but hey - to each his own.). Only one of the feet is original, but the tolex, handle, back panel, knobs and black bat toggle switches (three on the export model) all look to be original. Some stencilling on cab also, but 'Stonehouse' is as cool a band name as you can have for a non-famous band, I suppose (LOL). All work done by Metro himself, IIRC, but back chassis panel has the holes remaining (he put the yellow stickers on like no one would notice - ha ha). Previous owner had done Metro effects loop, then had it reversed right away as it apparently doesn't work very well (DOH!). Export smallbox model in very nice shape w/original trannies (two sources have told me this, anyhow), some original Mustard caps, excellent glass (NOS Tesla matched EL84's, various NOS pre/PI tubes incl.
