Re: what's the difference between JCM800 and aJCM900?
If you were to get a jcm 900 I would look into getting one of the slx models. You can put out a bunch of different tones with them. Classic rock to even high distortion metal. These models are better as the distortion comes only from the preamp tubes. I think the other models in 900 series use diodes for distortion. I have a 2100slx model and it works great for me. Only thing about it is there is no channel switching, but just turning down the volume on your guitar can get you cleans anyways. If you find that 800's don't give you distortion you are looking for look into 900 slx models. Oh I forgot one more thing if you get a one of these make sure you get one with el-34 power tubes in it. I heard most people say that the slx models are bad with 5881 power tubes that some have in them.
