Re: JCM800 Clones?

Did you build it from the master volume kit? Is it a jcm replica or the earlier jmp? Or is it the same circuit?

Yes, It was the MV kit. It's based on the 2204 circuit that I believe is the same from the JMP to the JCM. The JCM did get some revisions in the mid 80's.

(Laney used Skot transformers) I built my own Marshall JCM800 clone using a Metro board.www.metroamp.com Cost me just under $600 to build it myself,Thats Including a Custom made chassis and head box.

Nice price, where did you get the transformers, chassis, and box? I'm interested in the 50W MV boards he has.

The tranny's came from Antique Electronics. I sourced other parts from Weber
and Hoffman amps. The chassis was custom made to my specs by a guy in TX.
(I don't have his contact info now, If you need it? PM me and I'll find it.) The box is where I really saved $$. My Father built it for me. He's no Swanson, But he did a decent job.

Re: JCM800 Clones?

Nice job, if I build one it'll probably have a more traditional Marshall look but, yep, a nice box does cost...

Thanks, if I get that far I may drop you a line. It may be a winter project, too much mtn biking to do while the sun is out!
