The legendary Marshall JCM800 2203 Vintage Series 100W Tube Head. Since its introduction in the late '70s, the JCM800 has defined the sound of rock and metal. Now it's back by popular demand to deliver that iconic tone once again.

Simple Yet Powerful Control Panel

The JCM800 2203 is the essence of simplicity with its single channel and three-band EQ—yet it provides an incredible range of tones that have inspired generations. Dialing in your perfect sound is effortless, whether you're looking for crisp cleans, bluesy crunch, or face-melting distortion.

100 Watts of All-Valve Muscle

Don't let the JCM800 2203's straightforward design fool you—under the hood lurks 100 watts of pure tube power that provides headroom for days. When cranked, this amp roars with a tight, focused high gain tone that cuts through any mix. The all-valve design and birch-ply cabinet also deliver the warmth, depth and touch sensitivity that only comes from a vintage-inspired tube amp.

FX Loop Provides Transparent Tone Shaping

While the JCM800 2203 nails the classic Marshall sound on its own, the addition of an FX loop allows you to integrate your favorite pedals without compromising tone. The loop features true bypass switching to maintain signal integrity when not in use. Add modulation, delay, reverb or other effects to expand your sonic palette, all while keeping that legendary JCM800 tone as a foundation.

A Lifetime of Tone

Whether you're looking to recreate the sounds of rock legends or forge your own signature tone, the JCM800 2203 is built to last a lifetime. Road-ready birch-ply construction, premium tubes and components, and Marshall's legendary build quality ensure this amp will provide inspiration for years to come. The JCM800 2203 lets you experience the sound that has fueled decades of rock music.

    I own an original from 1983 and bought a used reissue from our local Guitar Center. The reiusses are amazing and 98% of the same mojo as the original -- plus you get an effects loop. Don't waste your money on channel switching nonsense -- just get this and few pedals and start getting inspired.

    "Hey, I've got a great JCM800 model on my laptop..." "Have you ever played a real JCM800?" "...no..." DON'T BE THIS GUY! You don't know what a guitar sounds like until you've played through a Marshall. It's like the difference between shooting a bullet and throwing it. With the gain cranked, it's the sound of rock and roll. Add a Boss Super Overdrive and your solos will practically play themselves. Roll back the gain and you'll have a clean sound as sweet as any JC120. "But I need an orange mode, and a ghetto bass boost, and a sad chorus channel..." Yeah, I've been there, and I'm never going back!

  • THE rock n roll amp!

    The JCM800 2203 reissue is by far the best rock amp. I use it for classic rock, from ac/dc to Ozzy. By simply changing preamp tubes, you can customize it to you're liking. I have two of them,one is modded and one stock. I love 'em both.

    This is one of the most versatile amps i have ever owned. It can nail anything from a hard crunch tone to a soft blues sound. It has a great response to the guitars volume. To get the best tone , just like any other Marshall, the amp must be cranked, but a cool option the jcm gives you is the preamp so you can get a decent distortion without bothering the neighbors. Great amp worth every penny.

    Plain and simple this is one of the greatest amps ever made. But let me tell you about the amps tone the Mids are so smooth the treble are crisp and clear its not to heavy on the bass but it still has enough low end to play classic thrash metal or Guns N Roses type of music but you need a really good overdrive pedal.

    I’m very sorry. Your question is not clear. This isn't a speaker cabinet.
