JCM900 MKIII 50 watt 1x12 model 2501.
This is a KILLER amp. Dual master volume. This is NOT the dual reverb model which gives JCM900s a bad name.
This was the first series of JCM900s and only made for two years. It was Marshalls answer to the demand for a hot rodded JCM800.
Overall good condition. Works PERFECT.
EL34 power tubes.
Original speaker has been replaced by an Eminence Patriot Red White & Blues. I usually put CL80s in my amps and when I got this one I never saw a reason to change it. It sounds great.
The front panel has a "Volume" (preamp), "Sensitivity", two Master Volumes, Bass, Middle, Treble & Presence.
The first Volume is supposedly based on the JCM800 circuit and designed to give you the classic 800 tones.
Start turning up the sensitivity knob and you'll get the blistering higher gain modded 800 tone.
I actually prefer blending the two to get a fatter tone.
Rear panel has a Direct Out, Recording Out, Effects Loop and a High/Low switch.
Most people consider the High/Low switch a half power switch but it actually switches the amp between pentode & triode mode.
Footswitchable dual master volume. Two different Master volumes that you can set at different levels & switch between. Great for solos. Uses a one button footswitch which I don't have butI'll include a two button footswitch. One button switch volumes, the other button doesn't do anything.
I had my tech make me a special 1/4" jack that when plugged into the effects loop return increases the volume dramatically.
Many people put a cable in the effects loop but I just opted for this special jack.
This amp is very compact. It's smaller than my JCM800 1x12 combo but it is extremely loud and can keep up with a band no problem. We rehearse a loud levels and I only have the master around noon.
I've gigged at smaller bars & clubs without mic'ing it and it roared. Never got the master past noon.
I've had it a couple of years and have done quite a few gigs with it. Always sounded great and NEVER gave me any issues. VERY reliable.
$650 shipped & PayPal'd.
