Value For Money :
Excellent
100 watt amp, all lamps.
The mine is mounted in 5881.
Single channel, but 2 different volumes footswichables.
Controls:
presence
Bass, Mid, High
Preamp gain
Gain amplifiers
A Master Volume and Master Volume B.
The amp has a effects loop.
UTILIZATION
Usage is fairly intuitive.
In my view, the presence of knob is always a 10.
Low on 9 / 10 and the treble instead of 4 / 5, midlles 6. The amp has a tendency to strike quickly if they are not sharp rises above 5 / 6.
Readily obtained a good sound, however, over time, we learn to know this amp and really fine adjustments effectively!
The two volumes are really a plus: I go into volume B (set a bit stronger than A) for solos to pierce the mix!
For cleans, well, you have to play on the volume knob on my guitar! With a single channel such as this, we can have a clean, crunch and a big distortion of just playing the guitar volume pot and passing a microphone to the other!
SOUNDS
This amp fits me like a glove. He really has the sound I wanted.
Over time, I learned to really refine my settings.
I played with a standard LP in 2007 and '67 Flying V 1990 and I play mostly hard rock, heavy metal.
The mine is mounted in 5881. I counted, before the amp change for EL34 from all accounts I've read.
When I tried the amp in a cash converter, I fell in love. When I had enough money, he was gone, I waited a year before finding one on the site itself (small annoce).
I kept my 5881 and does not change accounts!
This amp really sounds great. The master volume is really effective. You can have a good sound was reasonable volume.
on the other hand, up 2.5 / 3 on the master volume was very little sound.
The amp sounds very hard, AC bracket, it's heavy sound!!
Many people tend tend to confuse it with the JCM900 dual reverb. This amp has nothing to see, and is, to my taste, well above! It is closer JCM800 with more gain and without the necessity to push the volume very hard to get the big distortion.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had maybe 4 years (I do not remember exactly), purchased through this site ad.
It is no longer sold new, in time, it can be found at 500 €, which gives us a quality / price excellent!
I tried many other amps, which, in gorsmarshall: JCM900 dual reverb, jcm200 tsl, jvm, JCM800 ... This is the JCM 900 SL-X was my favorite of all!
I would do this choice several times if necessary. I would even be willing to pay me another.
I'm curious to see what it gives EL34, but I like my sound so I'm afraid to lose by changing lamp!
FYI, I played on a 4x12 "in V30, which goes perfectly (already tested on 1960AV cabinet, cabinets mounted LadyLuck eminence in hp vox, G12H100 but none suited him as well as the V30!
This amp is a great value!!
