Title: JMP vs JCM 800 Post by: sneakypeteband on March 04, 2010, 02:47:18 PM I'm ready to order a JCM 800 2204 complete with cab and tubes. I was wondering how long it takes to get the amp?
I've been using 2 JMP Mark II 50 watt heads since new, and they have had repair several times in the last 2 years. Last saturday a friend brought one of Nik's JCM 800's for me to try, and with my back to the amps I could'nt tell the difference. GOTTA HAVE ONE!

As far as quality.....Ceriatone is going to be better made than almost anything that has a Marshall logo on it. I refer, of course, to what is being made today, not the hand wired amps of 30 years ago. Nik builds as good a amplifier as anybody on the planet. But keep in mind, stuff (especially tubes) can be damaged during shipping. No builder would ever ship a dead amp, but it is not unheard of for a tube to fail during the shipping process. Otherwise, that amp will only need maintenance for the next 3-4 decades. Good Luck |
