Re: JCM800 2203 w/ EL84 ?
NOT RECOMMENDED. It will seriously alter the tone of the amp, as well as the wattage. The entire circuit is voiced for a particular tube; why fight against the circuit design for something you won't be happy with?!
My advice is go with a fender or a Peavey Classic series amp with EL84s ...
If you want an absolute EL34 tone monster look into Budda Amps, as well.

I agree with Duke, you will need adapters and be aware that it will CHANGE THE AMP TONE ALOT!!!!!! I think the Yellow Jacket adapters change and amp Class from A/B to A. If you want a Fender tone, why buy the Marshall?

Originally posted by arvid4prezI am considering a Marshall JCM800, but will replace the EL34's with EL84's. How would this sound? My plan is to use it as my "cranked-balls-to-the-wall" amp with vintage style guitars (mainly Strats and Teles) and my over-the-top LP copy.
EL84s have sweeter highs then EL34s and also less bass then EL34s and 6L6s.
