12W combo amp, transistor (available in mini stack).

This is the series transistor jcm 800. It was published in 1984 to 91, mine in 1986.

1 channel, gain volume and 3 band Eq.

An exit for Hp / line out and two inputs high and low.

The combo is half open and it contains an HP 8ohm celestion G10D 25.

UTILIZATION

To use is really simple, it connects and makes fart!

We get easily a good overdrive up to the beautiful distortion.
We do obviously not up to the trash, it's amp (and a brand for that matter) rather orineté blues rock / hard rock.

Manual for the ben ... it will be crazy.

SOUNDS

I use a gibson SG faded.

When I received it (found in England), and I connected I hallucinated. Simply.

For sounds clear, it is a color "noise" if you have ever tried by a boss ac2 ewemple's pretty close depending on the settings! It is rather odd and rather pleasant!

on the other hand when you start to saturate do! We immediately recognized the sound Marshall, fairly dry, sharp. The texture is airy, clean!

In high, the sound will tend to be more aggressive with acute that can quickly become invasive. It then delivers more gain and volume it sounds much dirtier, I am less enthusiastic one falls easily in the transistor. Especially acute.

In low, it's that I prefer it gives its full potential! I like to push the medium and reduce the treble (which, incidentally, are too garish spent half).

We then have a big overdrive like rock'n'roll in shorts pfff! I love the grain! The bass are present, the sound rather warm and round, saturation own note for note, I said that I was bluffing! It's a little choked on itself, as I turn a lot of acute, but that's a combo and 12 transo ... So ...
If I could I would put 12/10, a transistor with a sound like that! It's more of our day we see it!

OVERALL OPINION

Marshall and I it's been years. I can judge it fairly quickly, knowing well the grain of the brand.

I had previously quastion transistor, a Valvestate, which in my recollection, did not sound so this little monster of rock ..

What I love is the easy side of things, not waiting for the heat lamps, small, easily transportable short:

PLUG 'N' PLAY!

No need for effects or anything, you want to play right away? thee 5 min before going to work? boom!

For 30 euros a time whether to do it again I would think no two days the risk of missing the auction as I did.

If I fall back on a model in mini stack and I how I think I bought it on just to try ...
