Marshall JCM 2000 50 watt w/1960 A Cabinet

The Jcm 2000 series has been around the block. Having been the most attainable tube amp to the generation that made pop punk and harcore music a big deal, it's been spotted on a lot of stage and heard in a lot of recordings. It's essentially a working man's solution for getting a useable mid to high gain sound without venturing into the more exp... [read more on Audiofanzine]

Bottom line is that for the price, you can easily use this as a main amp for gigs to cover just about anything but hardcore metal.

You can grab one on the used mar... [read more on Audiofanzine]

I wish they would put a choke in the amp to take pressure off the transformers. I have read that they sound even better when having proper trannies in there.

this amp kicks ass 12o% A+++ it's built like a tank and covers every tone marshall has made from the 5o's through today in one head. excellent reverb (when it was alive) and tons of tone to choose from. expensive but guaranteed for life and probably worth good $$$ in 3o years or so.
