Title: JCM 800 volume
Post by: MrValentine on November 18, 2010, 02:37:14 AM
Im new here but have experience with amps and such and was wondering how many watts the jcm 800 has? And how loud it would be through a 2x12 cab

2204x is conservatively rated at 50 watts RMS.
2203x is conservatively rated at 100 watts RMS.

And how loud it would be through a 2x12 cab

Loud as f***  Even the 50 watter is more power than most people can use at a bar gig these days.  But that is why there is the master volume.  It works very well for dialing in at gig volume.  But you may have trouble at household volume and forget bedroom volume.

While there are people out there that really get to crank up for a club gig, most people will only ever need 100 watts if playing an outdoor gig (which requires a lot more output because there aren't aren't any walls to get the soundwaves bouncing into the audience).
