      @AlexRamosDrTaz 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, the asymmetric circuit helps with that. While still a Tube Screamer basically, the clipping change gives the SD-1 its distinct sonic tone. I do find it better for metal tones, but a standard TS works just as well, especially if the Tone knob is pushed at 2 o clock or higher.

    That’s a JCM 800 in my book. I know people prefer the two input single channel versions . Yeah I’m the 90s those two channel 800s could be had for 500 or less. I remember seeing 50 watt single channel 2x12 combos for around 400 of course shipping would’ve gotten the price on up there but still cheap by today’s standards. I think the mythical legendary status of the 800 series has led to the unobtanium like prices of the reissues they are just too expensive for a Marshall that they’ve been building for 40 plus years now ? The SC20 was a good amp for the money before the latest price increase but in my opinion you should nearly be able to buy a 50 jcm800 reissue for what Marshall is asking for the studio 20s now. I’m sorry but the new JCM reissues are ridiculous expensive. Come 3550 for a JCM 800 is ludicrous to me. The 800 is an incredible amp but for 3500 you could have a much more versatile amp, hell two more versatile amps and probably a couple decent used cabs . I’d be interested in a Vietnamese built 800 since the quality of the Vietnamese Marshalls seems to be improved to the point of being as reliable as any other mass produced amp in a far eastern factory.

This does classic Marshall and thrash really well! I definitely disagree with the masses on the diode clipping sounding horrible even though I love the classic JCM sound.

  • @totallyradguitars959
    @totallyradguitars959 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Maybe I missed it but what year is this amp? Earlier 2205/2210's from 1982-mid 1985 have a completely different circuit than later models, even though they look the same. Later 1985-1989 circuits may as well be a completely different amp - I've had an '82, 85, and 86 all side by side. I couldn't sell the '82 fast enough, I hated it, channel bleed issues as well as lower gain and fizzier sounding without the punch. My 85 and 86 I still have - and even those sound quite different from each other, the 85 is much brighter (and also 50w compared to the other two which were 100w). I like them both a lot for different tones.
    You can also tell which circuit you have by removing the V2 tube. If the boost channel stays exactly the same, it's the later circuit. I wish I still had the earlier circuit to do a comparison video because they are really quite different amps - similar to the way that Model 2100/2500 JCM900's are completely different if they are Mk III or SLX models.

    Ew diodes but guitarists proceed to add boost pedals in front of their amps lol.
    I enjoy mine with the presence all the way up, treble back a little, and like channel volume around 6-7. I had mine recapped with sozo caps and the channel bleed went away. Added the gain mod for it and it helps a little bit but it didn’t really need much help anyhow. Smoothest Marshall I’ve played while retaining the vocal mids. No American bottom end to it and I honestly think it makes for a better recorded tone with less need to clean up the low end in a mix.

    I’ve had good luck diming the channel volume, setting the gain to taste and then controlling the overall volume with the master section. Also turn all clean channel pots to zero as it can bleed into the gain channel. Boost or no boost it can rule.

    I’m a longtime “Marshall” man & owned a 2210 in the late 80’s.
    When it worked it sounded great. I had blown fuses, tubes and OT on the one I owned. It got so bad that I traded it in for a rack system to use with my awesome JMP 1987. Once I went back to the 1987 I never looked back.
    I guess I just got a lemon, but again when my 2210 was working it was a fantastic sounding head.

    • @troyjenkins578

      Hah a little bit of irony. I traded a rack system to get my 2210...lol. I don't regret owning the 2210. It has been a great warrior for me but, I only traded the rack gear I had because of a ground loop problem that would randomly cause a loud pop followed by a hum that lasted for minutes and was never able to get it sorted but I sure wish I still had that too as one of the components was a MESA Quad Preamp that sounded awesome and I had only paid $400.00 for in pristine condition and now they go for between $900.00 to $1200.00 depending on condition and functionality. Oh well I got the 2210 and a 50watt Artist model that sounded great but got sold when I needed some cash. I don't see myself ever letting my 2210 go though. I've never had to do anything more than replace tubes and that was out of choice.

  • @santiagomoreno696

    That's the amp I had been chasing for years and I finally got one a couple of months ago, to me it's about cranking the mids, that 'vocally' sound that was kind of weird for you is exactly what I love and the first thing I do any time I get to play any Marshall is turning that knob all the way up, the 2210 sounds killer to me, a Les Paul and a TS9 in front, gain at 6/7, mids at max, bass before noon, and treble/presence at taste.
    There's no point in comparing it to a 5150 or a Dual Rectifier, is not what this amp is supposed to be, is not the style this amp is for, JCM800s are not high gain amps (compared to the modern day beasts out there). I think that this amp is really good for Hard Rock, Glam and Heavy Metal, there it shines.

    I review pedals and when a pedal claims to be an Amp-in-a-Box of a particular make/model I listen to your demo of the real amp to find out. Small things like using an SM57 make a big difference to your demo giving me an the best idea ...short of being in the room with you. I know my amp history and I have reliable tech friends to give me a heads up on important issues. After the JCM 800 the next very, very, very important amp is the Soldano SLO 100. The reason is because everything after it designers could and did jump past all the Marshalls and use it as the new 'blue print' to 'start' from. In short the Dual Rec and 5150 literally on paper started there. After that it is all about voicing the mids that gives an amp an identifiable voice of it's own.
    Yes I did digress. Your review of the JCM800 was excellent from mentioning the diodes to the soft attack that has always been part of the Marshall sound. not a problem unless your music relies on a lot of 'chugging', LOL.
    I bought my first Marshall in 1971 ...a new 50 watt Plexi at the Selmer store in London UK. It's a long story but it was Ron Wood who in effect got me a really cheap price. I am on my 3rd one now and I expect at 75 it will see me out.

    have you ever considered using an eq pedal in your videos like the mxr 10 band eq? ive noticed a lot of times there will be like really specific frequencies you say are annoying or missing with amps, i think it could be a really cool segment like towards the end of your videos where you use an eq pedal and try to really dial in the nitty gritty specifics of an amp and see if you can make it sound even better than the original eq controls allow. just a thought! love the vids 🤘🤘🤘

    Helpful tip with this amp Kyle: Dime the Boost channel volume and use the Master Volume to adjust overall volume. Use gain knob to taste. This is the way the manual says to use it for maximum gain. Diming that boost channel volume really opens up the amp. You'll have to dial out the presence and treble because it'll have that distinct JCM800 brightness. Another great video Kyle! Let me know if you try those settings!

    @MichaelStrick9 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Channels like this prove that a good player can take any amp and make it work. I've seen seasoned players use old solid state Peavey amps and they sound great. I've seen dumb kids with rich parents blow money on $4000 stacks and they sound like garbage. If you're a halfway decent player, you can probably take any amp and get some good usable sounds out of it after spending a day or so tweaking it at band practice/show levels. For me I always kept my master volumes around noon, and based everything around that. It wasn't necessarily intentional, it's just the way it ended up happening, and it ended up being the perfect level for practice and shows. I always knew exactly how the amps would react as long as I kept it around that same level.

    @jamiemascola6614 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This amp, and the JCM900, non-SLXs, have one key circuit design concept that hold them back from what a 2203 can do. When an amp has an opamp buffered FX loop, it limits the max voltage swing that hits the phase invertor by a large margin. So that Plexi-style, cranked overdrive from the power amp kind of gets nerfed down. They are preamp-voiced amps. And they can sound good when dialed in. They just can't roar or breath in quite the same way as, say a 2203.

The 2205 is still his amp of choice though, so if one wants to get a MSG type sound, the 2210/2205 is definitely it.

    Marshall should have called this amp something else because it is nothing like an JCM800 2203 & 2204.
    I have owned 2204, 2203 and 2210 and I liked the 2210 the least.. 2203 & 2204 sounds alot better and you really have to crank the volume to make these sound really good.

  • @Da_Publick

    It sounds like pure Marshall. Why wouldn't it deserve to be called 'JCM?'
    edit: when you bumped up the Gain to 11 o'clock before it 'came alive,' I think some of the Orange's copied that. You're right, it's surprising how little Gain this thing has.

    I have a Marshall running into Vintage 30s and sounds fantastic… better than anything I played at guitar center last weekend. Professional recording sound with a cheap sennheiser microphone. Curious what wattage speaker Kyle is using in the cabinet as I’ve only seen 60 watt V30s. Great playing, love the White Zombie riff.

    Dude if u heard my 4 stage '85 2204 youd shit your shorts. No LED's or other diodes needed. Just neuter the first 3 coupling stages, drive the EQ with hi plate voltage, install a 4 way switch at the slope for some actual variation then shove the preamp into 6550s. Of course theres more but thats it in a nutshell

    I have a Marshall JCM800 4010 combo, now I swapped out the Celeston speaker in favor of the Eminence DV-77 . It helps get rid of the harsh Brite top end that rip your ears to shreds. It's a 1989 model, so I did notice the thing with the mids, however I wouldn't say it sounds " weird " more like they actually work lol. I run the mids at 1 O'clock. I run so many different drive pedals in front of it, I love the 40th anniversary SD1 pedal in front of it and the EVH 5150 overdrive, and the Ibanez Nu-tube screamer sound great in front of the Marshall JCM800 series amps. Just my preference obviously, but works for me lol

    • @bowserwars
      @bowserwars ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've got the 4010, but early 80s, vertical inputs. Doesn't sound at all harsh, must be the 65 speaker. Straight into the amp, it sounds much better than this 2210. They both need a tube screamer to get the Anthrax thrash tone

      I am a 40 something who played in punk groups in the 90's. My first two bands used the 2205, 2210 and also a jcm 900. All were great for what were doing....and all were dirt cheap. Lol! I would absolutely not pay anywhere near what people are asking for them now. I would get yourself a jcm 200 DSL 50 or 100; about half the price and IMO better overall amps anyway.

    @lowqualityguitarvideos 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Had a 2205 for a bit. The EQ is different if I recall correctly in the earliest runs of these, then they changed the placement of the EQ in the circuit and it behaves a bit differently (more flexible but also some bad tones possible iirc). They also had more channel bleed in the earliest years, which i think was fixed by 1988 or so. I really enjoyed the amp but ultimately didnt keep it because it wasnt what I wanted at the time. It behaves quite differently from other more vintage Marshall circuits, and I wasnt quite ready for that.

    I remember A/B testing the new 20 watt version of this vs the DSL20, and I was floored by how agressive this thing sounds.
    It had such low amounts of gain, making palm muting really difficult, but man just playing power chords, it would growl and snarl like a wild beast.
    The DSL had way more gain, but it was more subdued somehow.
    Kinda round and controlled in comparison. Still a great amp though.

    I own the same amp, sounds killer boosted, The noise you hear when you turn the gain up is the sound of the clipping diodes being added to the circuit, It is also the reason it brightens up, as you suggested. I modded mine with a post FX loop master volume and depth control so I can use it as a power amp for other pre-amps.

  • @troyjenkins578
    @troyjenkins578 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've had my 2210 for the better part of 30 years and it has never failed me. I never used it for thrash type playing and actually never used effects. It was just guitar through a Boss TU-12 tuner and into the amp. It's always down to opinion but for the type of music we played, classic to 80's and 90's hard rock, it was awesome with a Les Paul and no efx. The clean channel never got used because that's not what you buy a Marshall for and I'll admit, the reverb tank on it is crap. Other than that it was great sounding and ungodly loud. Is it worthy of the JCM800 moniker? In my very biased opinion....ABSOLUTELY! I do however think comparing it to a 5150, Dual or Triple Rectifier and the like is kind of Apples and Oranges.

    2204s into a 412 with g12-65s pushed with an MXR D+ is perfection. It just has a grunt that works for sludge and hardcore. It's not a high gain amp, but it interacts with boosts and drives so well that it doesn't really matter honestly.
