The Marshall Studio Classic SC20C provides all the tone and versatility of the iconic JCM800 2203, but packs it into a more portable amplifier that you can take anywhere. We all want that classic JCM800 sound, but sadly we can’t always cart around a head and 4 x 12” cabinet all the time! This is where the Marshall Studio Classic SC20C comes in handy - providing all the lush dynamics and hard-hitting valve distortion as the original.
An added effects loop, DI out and user-friendly EQ allows you to not only use this amp in a variety of different ways but get a wide variety of different sounds too!

The level of enthusiasm you put forth on just about every product video makes me want to buy it even if I don't like it lol

Your raunchy Steve Marriot style never fails to put a retrospective smile on my face dood.

That nightrain riff sounds really fucking good

[@kitsmith3606]

Best amp I've experienced as well. my best friend used a JCM 800 100 watt double stack and an RG-550 with stock pickups and could play anything and sound great.

[@stefanpetrov9757]

Logic Pro have a plug-in called “world smallest amp”, it sounds exactly like this 😂😂😂

[@michaelmiller6141]

I have this amp and play out with it 4-5 x a month. It’s good. It is a bit 5:10 thin, especially when not cranked. I set treb 0, bass10, mid 3, presence 0. 30 watt, high input. Gain 4, master 6. Pretty clean base sound I recently added a relatively cheap “ effects loop volume control”. I now set MV at 8-9 and reduce volume in the effects loop. ( I have several gain options in front and other time based effects in the loop in addition to a mini spark boost for solos.). Amp is much fatter with this MV setting and I can reduce bass and raise mid and treb. Mic placement greatly afffects mic’s foh sound. People who play and know better who’s opinion I trust often compliment my sound ( sometimes the playing. ). Fender Cyclone with great Seymour Duncan’s ). I’ve used extension cabs. 1x12 2X12. They work but mostly in smaller places I put that little beast right behind me on a stand and let her rip. I think the cab must be well matched to the speaker selection because it sounds pretty good with the stock 10. Very light. So far no issues after lots of gigs in 3 years.

I use to have a slash SL5 but felt it wasn’t all there then I sold it and bought a silver Jubileee combo, damn! Big improvement! Nailed 80s hard rock the way you want it to sound in a small package

[@joshmuz9018]

I sold mine a while back and saving the money from it with some more for a better Marshall. Was the silver jubilee a fair bit better? I'm looking at that or this 800 reissue. The sl5 was a little too compressed and uninspiring for me

[@ovidiuboureanu8565]

Can you play bass guitar on this combo? From what I read on the internet, Marshall JCM 800 is one of the few amps on which you can play both guitar and bass, but the articels I read were about the JCM 800 head, not about this combo. So, can you play bass guitar on this combo? Thank you!

[@deadppqqqq4822]

You can but prolly gonna sound like doo doo. Even with really loud amps bass still tends to sounds muddy and distorted.for the price of this you can honestly get 2 decent amps for your guitar AND your bass and they’re both meant to do what they’re meant to do.

[@xx-vj2dp]

is it just me or does this sound very boxy bc of the 10?

[@gdrugg2006]

it’s probably more the cabinet than the speaker

[@G-NutZ]

I took mine and played super loud chugs and thrashy riffs for the first three months and broke in the speaker and it sounds thick and rich now, really needs to be broken in.

[@troywm1016]

Do you think this is better then the DSL 20CR ? The ten inch speaker scares me. Thanks Russel

[@jsyoukr1]

Hello, I've tried both amps, and personally, ive never been a fan of the dsl crs becasue they always sound really flat and 2-D. It's porbably one of the most overateed amps ever. The Jcm800 with 10inch speaker is a lot more powerful than you think. Tried it out at guitar centre and because the close off the back, it had so much bass to it, and the speaker had lots of treble. So i other words, JCM800 10inch speaker > DSL 20CR

[@rockerstreet8743]

This amp sounds more alive to me, but considering this is way more expensive that 20c

[@matouscervenka7248]

I had both. JCM is much better. 10 inch speaker sounds great, i was very surprised.#

[@adamarsenault1785]

Had both. DSL sounds like a toy compared to these.

[@kristanbenson7688]

Could you add a celestion 12" speaker to this?

[@calo775]

Currently in the process of adding a 12 inch Celestion vintage 30. The speaker fits you’ll just have to route out a bigger hole for the bigger speaker. 11 inches should be the diameter of the hole. The amp supports 16 ohms.

[@ilredeldeserto]

Is it possible use SC20C in a co-owner at very low volume (something as tv volume) in 5W mode for bedroom practice?

[@alandunn4459]

Yes.

[@victorjbarker]

Yeah but it would be still loud as fuck. I have a Marshall class 5 and it's extremely loud at 5 watts thru the Celestion 10". For bedroom levels it has to be attenuated

[@gabrielviana88]

[@zoomzoom3950]

where's the bottom end???? Not icepicky, but that is harsh treble in a bad way, and I'm listening through an 1100W PA with subs. What is your bass control on, 0?! That 10" speaker is a deal breaker for me. Even my Origin 50C has a 12" speaker.

I played the combo at G.C sounded terrible. The bass is not tight. 10 speaker sounds awful. Then played with my 4x12 sounded way better. Still does not sound like a JCM 800. Lacks punch, and tone. Does clean up nicely. 5 watt is worse. 20 watts is still very loud. Played with a Tubesceamer TS9. Took that pedal fantastic. Overall a disappointment. This is the truth.
