It breathes, it's chunky, it's not fizzy. There's a reason why so many thrash guitarist used it. It just needs an atenuater when not playing at full volume.

[@drcks]

the Greenbacks also makes the chunk more chunky, thicc even

[@ruffestneckaround]

Have a Silver Jubilee Studio Classic (20/5 watt) and it's the perfect volume with all of the tone, or so close I can't tell from playing the 100w Silver Jubes.

A cranked 800 is one of the best sounds of all time. 👌🏻

[@billyturk8117]

I used to really dislike the Marshall tone but the older I get and the more I understand tone, the more I love it and want one. This sounds great. Then again ola could plug into a bowl of jello and it'd sound good.

[@PostalDude667]

Agreed, I my opinion Marshalls really need to be pushed hard to get a good tone. A lot of other amplifier manufacturers manage to get decent tone at bedroom volume, but I feel like every time I've tried a Marshall at bedroom volume, it just sound tinny and nasally.

[@thetribalist6923]

“Will it Chug? Jello shots edition!”

[@diabeticmonkey]

There’s just something special about how mid focused and tight they sound. It’s a true benchmark tone

[@dsddsdd7566]

I love the JCM800 "metallic and honky" midrange barks, it sounds super precise and properly dirty to my ears. I hate that modern amps focus on bass frequencies. Leave them for the bass guitar!

[@quickdrawmcgraw3567]

Agreed, it makes a mix sound much more distinct and precise when you properly delineate frequencies to their respective instruments

[@vile7992]

agree!

[@BigTyronie]

The modern amps have a more defined low end indeed. It seemed to have started with the dual rec but as with the dual rec, if you dial it in for midrange and sizzle up top they respond to that type of setup quite well. Just my opinion.

[@chrisCANguitar]

This is probably one of my favorite rigs that you have showcased. For punk and rock and roll. This rig, will melt faces.

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

I listened to a ton of thrash metal in the late 80s and early 90s, and most of the thrash albums were recorded using JCM800s. It’s a sound that I know well, and love.

[@panosmichal7920]

i think rtl was recorded using that amp too

[@jacobgarcia2660]

@@panosmichal7920 this is a fact Gary and Rick from exodus used the jcm800 with two boost pedals. Gary used two boss sd1s and Rick used a sd1 and ts9 but Gary had his amp modded and ricks was stock

[@iamderek37]

The foundations of metal. In the context of a live band, it is absolutely perfect, which is what these amps were designed for.

[@joshuabeckwith7906]

Best amp Marshall ever made in my opinion, loved borrowing them at shows back when I was playing Death Metal. Wasn't so much a fan of the 900s. When hitting the front end super hard it almost sags from compression, I like that sound though, it's filthy as all hell.

[@JakeTerch]

Those Greenbacks sound great, you make Marshalls really snarl in such a great way Ola!

[@garrisonaudio7877]

Wow, What a difference in presentation. ALL amp reviews should be recorded the same way. It really does sound/feel like I'm in the room.. Even listening on my phone there's a difference in sound.. Nice job ya Sweed😆👍

[@vladimirerfan7721]

Sweed 🤣

One of the best amps I've ever tried. From early Smashing Pumpkins and Fugazi to Slayer and Hate Eternal. Personally, I'd boost it. Phenomenal piece of kit.

[@ceedee9186]

Back in 2017 with my former band we used to rehearse in a studio where it had every amp you can think of. The first time we rehearsed there i entered one of the rooms and in one of the corners was a JCM800 with an orange cab with V30s. This was the meanest and craziest combo I've ever played to this day. Raw precise and chuggy. I will never forget it. The sound was amazing

[@Its6string]

I grew up with the early versions of Marshall’s and to be honest, they’re the standard by which all great amps are measured!!! They simply kick ass!!! I also went thru a phase where I Had To try everything else-and I’m glad I did-in fact, I still enjoy plugging into different amps. BUT the minute I plug back into a Marshall, my ears can hearing it, my playing tightens up, then once I get that inevitable kick in chest, I feel like I’m home!! Almost like being a kid all over again🎶✊🏼

The JCM800 is the perfect distortion amp for me. Anything from punk to metal, it just works. The Greenbacks are a nice speaker to pair it with, but as you noticed the lack of low end, some folks like the G12-65's which bring back some of that low end, or the G12M-65's (Creambacks) for some more low end than a Greenback but with a little more high end than the G12-65's.

[@ninjaneer1974]

Love this rig. My personal cabs have vintage 30’s, but it was cool hearing this rig with greenbacks tested playing da chugs. I’m sure these push a little more than my higher watt 30’s, just by wattage difference alone. I’m also glad you mentioned how you time align your mics. Is old school engineers gnash our teeth over projects that come to our desk that aren’t time aligned and then told why it’s not important to do so. Phase is important. You know this and I’m glad you passed this on to your viewers. Great vid as always. Love your stuff, Ola. Metal.🤘🏻

[@Hanssone]

Very punchy and organic sounding, also kinda love how it focus on the lower midrange without interfering with the lows lows and highs highs of a drummer and bassist. Its kinda perfect to "my ears"

[@12breacher82]

JCM 800 is insane. One of the best amps ever is the 6550 tubed version. It retains all the compacted character and adds some clarity and massive low end. Just crushes your balls balls. So no extra EQ needed.

[@b1gnasty69]

Interesting. I had the 6l6 version which gave it some serious bottom end

[@12breacher82]

@@b1gnasty69 I’ve never seen one with 6L6 tubes! I’ll bet that amp roars.

Did they ever reissue the 2205 or 2210? I had 2 of the 2205s back in the '90s, but sold both. I've waited for years, but never heard of any reissues. Best Marshall head, imo. We called them "800 channel switchers" in the '80s.
