The JCM800 is one of the few vintage reissues that is equipped with a master volume control. With this feature, you can achieve valve saturation at lower volume levels. This is particularly useful for valve amplifiers, as this distortion contributes to a warm and responsive tone. Combining all these elements makes for a more versatile and player-friendly amplifier, that’s always ready for you to add in that extra power during your solo moments.
SERIES FX LOOP
This reissue sees the introduction of a series effects loop. You can add all the effects in between the pre-amp section and the power amp to give your effects that extra clarity. A favourite when cranking up the distortion on the amp.
VERSATILE EQ SETTINGS
The highly versatile EQ settings mean that this amp can play a range of genres and not just the rock or heavy metal it is synonymous with. Whatever you decide to play, the JCM800 will keep up with you every step of the way.
Built in our UK factory
Since its launch, the JCM800 has been skilfully crafted at our factory in Bletchley, England and it is still available today as part of our Vintage Reissue series. Originally built with one channel, no reverb and modified reservoir caps, the JCM800 became a flagship amp that boasted an aggressive sound. It went on to define the sound of the era, with many rock and metal bands making it their amp of choice. All the classic features that made the amp so popular have been left intact, but they’ve been combined with modern touches such as the tonally transparent Series FX Loop in the JCM800’s latest incarnation.
