Marshall JCM800 Modified

The Marshall JCM800 2203 head is one of the most revered amplifiers in the history of the English brand, and it has also been one of the most "modified" heads since the 1990s.

The Marshall JCM800 Modified represents the evolution of the classic JCM800 in these terms: it is an iconic amplifier that combines the classic Marshall JCM800 sound with the most common aftermarket modifications made over the decades, in order to offer even greater versatility. Designed for guitarists seeking an aggressive sound rich in sustain, while maintaining the clarity and dynamics that have made the JCM800 a legend.

The JCM800 Modified features two channels (Clean and Overdrive) that allow for a range from a clean and crystal-clear sound to a powerful and articulated overdrive. The modifications made to the original circuit include a broader equalization range, a more precise Gain control, and improved dynamic response, making it suitable for a wide variety of musical genres, from classic Rock to modern Metal.

The control layout is traditional, with additional switches such as the Tight Switch to tighten the response in the lower frequencies—a very useful function when working at high Gain levels—an OD Switch with two Overdrive modes, and a Mid-Shift that adds emphasis to the mid frequencies, perfect for cutting through the mix during solos.

In summary, the JCM800 Modified is an amplifier that combines tradition and innovation, ideal for those seeking a powerful, versatile sound rich in character.
