Marshall JCM900 4500 50 W Hi Gain Dual Reverb Head For many musicians, the sound of 80s rock music is associated with the legendary English Marshall JCM 800 amplifier. It was introduced to the public in 1981 and represented a series of "Super Lead" and "Master Volume" amplifiers in a new design that is still maintained in new Marshall amplifier models today. The JCM 800 amplifier not only sounded great but also looked wonderful. A full-sized gold control panel, white piping, a cabinet covered in black vinyl, tubes covered with a protective grille, and a white handwritten Marshall logo. The old Plexi Head amplifier design remained in the past and was only used in reissues of 70s amplifiers. By the end of the 80s, Marshall JCM 800 amplifiers began to become obsolete and did not meet the expectations of musicians of that time. Despite the fact that the amplifiers produced excellent distorted sound, they lacked a switchable clean channel, the effects loop was quite primitive, and the level of distortion was already insufficient for new musical directions. The JCM 800 series was produced from 1981 to 1990 and it was obvious that musicians were waiting for a new amplifier model from Marshall, and soon the company introduced the new JCM 900 series. The Marshall JCM 900 amplifier series was introduced in 1990 and met all the expectations of musicians. For the first time, Marshall gave musicians a full-fledged clean channel in their amplifier, a high-quality effects loop with a signal level control, a spring reverb with separate adjustments for clean and distorted channels, and significantly increased distortion power, as well as many other interesting features. At that time, the amplifier was truly excellent, and the JCM 900 series was produced in various modifications and models until the early 2000s. Later it was replaced by the new generation of JCM 2000 amplifiers. Regarding functionality... Two modes, separate gain, volume, and reverb controls, shared EQ, there is a switch to the second channel on the head and a footswitch input Equalizer: 3-band + presence Preamp: 3 x 12ax7 Power amp: 2 x el34 Outputs: Direct and recording compensated Pentode/triode switch (50/25 Watts) Impedance switch 16 Ohm or 8 Ohm Effects loop with sensitivity control Tube failure indication. In fact, we have a high-gain 2-channel Marshall, which half the world's pop stars have played and recorded on, and are still recording on to this day. IMPORTANT! The amp has the original transformer - Drake - this is the best they had, and these transformers are valued precisely because they provide the true Marshall sound! The head is made in England - a pure Brit!!! At 220 V The head is in excellent condition, as are the tubes. There is a cabinet for it - Marshall 1960BC with Greenbacks in perfect condition - discount if bought together. Sounds about the same as in this review The head is in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it at our studio through various cabinets I will deliver within the CIS in 1-2 days
