Title: JCM800 2204 Board Drop into original Marshall amp? Post by: jd76duke on November 19, 2010, 03:12:55 AM I want to upgrade my JCM800 combo with a PTP board. Has anyone here dropped a Ceriatone board into a Marshall chassis?
Does it drop straight in do I need to drill the chassis, modify the board etc? Any experiences that you can share would be appreciated. Thanks, John Title: Re: JCM800 2204 Board Drop into original Marshall amp? Post by: wyatt on November 20, 2010, 03:04:26 AM I gotta ask, "why?"
If it's an original JCM800 then it'll have the much desired Mustard caps and other components and is a really well designed and thought-out PCB. And if it is the kind that does not PCB-mount the pots and jacks, then it's a PCB design that is nearly as easy to work on as any turretboard. This isn't the same as comparing the complex, cheap component PCB Deluxe/Twin Reverb RI's with their fiberboard counterparts. The only reason i could see swapping out the PCB in a JCm is if you want to do a lot of home modding. And then I would save the original PCB for restoring for selling.

Post by: mcv on July 30, 2011, 08:58:59 PM i also want to do this, i want a hot rodded JCM800 2204 but want to take out and save the original board so if i ever want it stock, i just put it back in.
has anybody done this? BTW, my amp is a combo version 2204 (model 4010) does nik´s 2204 board fit the turret studs? Title: Re: JCM800 2204 Board Drop into original Marshall amp? Post by: ampkits on August 04, 2011, 12:46:54 PM Hi,
Not sure if all JCM800s have mustards in them, dont think all of em do, actually. If your board has ST202 Issue 1 (or was it ST1 Issue 202) stamped on it, then my board would be direct fit. Thanks! nik |
