What is a vertical input? Is it make much difference? Which would be preferred between this and the jcm 2000 -dsl40?

yes, get vert imput. that is the amp with 2 guitar plugs - one on top of the other. better circuitry. get a 4010 dont settle for less!

Save your money--buy a Mesa.

I had a 4010 like the one in the picture.

I like my Mesa DC-3 A LOT better!!!!

i would wait and get the vert. you cant mod it for vert really. you may have to wait a few months...but if ur in a hurry and are all jazzed up for one...I love jcm800s ...you plug in guitar and out comes tone. u need more volume then plug in another cab. no need to fiddle with all the fancy knobs imo

I have the two channel version and it rocks! Only thing is that I wish it was a half stack haha

Re: Marshall JCM 800 4010 Combo 50 Watt Vintage 1984

the mesa is incredibly expensive here..over budget
How to check whether this amp here have vertical input or not? People say there isnt one, but how do i check them?

you look at it

1) if the 2 inputs are horizontal on top of each other, they are not the 2 vert inputs!

Just wait bro , honestly i waited a while for one to pop up in my home town ,but its worth all the wait,Vertical inputs is the one you want.

No. Dude, don't do it. I had one of those.

The OD has to be EXCRUCIATINGLY loud before it sounds good, and the clean channel has no volume before a nasty unwanted kind of breakup sets in.

A horizontal input 800 would kick a DSL 401's ass, at least for your standard Marshall type tones. But hold out for a vert input amp, patience is a virtue.

And, by the way, ****, since when is '84 vintage? Vintage for scotch maybe, but amps?
