My flatmate recently bought a JCM800 Slash signature head and, played with an SD-1, I must say I've fallen in love. Amazing rock tone, very Zakk Wylde. I looked on Marshall's website and they've reissued the original series (1 channel/100w). Now I love the original souped up Marshall tone, and the JCM800 seems to fit the bill, but does anyone know of an amp similar to THAT tone with a decent clean channel (Fenderish) with reverb?

Haha, I suppose if anyone knew that would be the holy grail of amps - Fender cleans and Marshall distortion. But out of the more boutique stuff, has anyone actually captured it? Rivera? Budda?

...yes!.... How much would you be willing to spend, how quick do you want it, and would you like a money back guarantee insuring it meets your requirements??... I just happen to know someone who makes exactly what you're asking about....

Paul Rivera can do it. 800, modded 800. BF. Bassman/JTM. All in one amp. Not 100% exact, but, he's got it 90 percent. Best money I ever spent on an amp.

EDIT: The 2203 reissue and the Slash sig head are diff sounding amps. The Slash is a Jubilee head, which I *personally* think are not as nice sounding as a goosed 2203, but alot folks like the Jubilees (I certainly wouldn't mind having one, but it wouldn't be my first choice in a Marshall)

Thanks for that. I was talking with my flatmate last night and he told me the same thing. He had a JCM800 before and now the Slash head - I have heard clips of a JCM800 before, but the Slash head blew me away. Amazing dirty tone that just sings when you put an SD1 in front of it.

I looked at the Marshall site and saw that the JCM800 is onyl sold as a single channel head. I like the features of the Slash head (2 channel) but need the ability to channel switch to a good clean. That's the problem I had with the 5150 - great dirty, but as soon as you switch to Channel 1 you're automatically letdown. The Slash head as a 50w head with a better clean and a 6 spring reverb would be awesome.

Jeff Seal - what kind of mods/amps do you do? Do you have a site? Money's not a real problem but travel is tho. Being in NZ doesn't help That's why I was enquiring about those boutique amps. I know the distributor for Rivera here but haven't had the chance to play the Fandango yet. Heard good reviews tho.

The JCM800 2210/2205/4210/4211 etc. are two channel amps from the factory in the 80's, Marshall chose not to quot;reissuequot; these..

As far as what I personally do, PM me..(I'm not a big fan of quot;advertising myselfquot; publicly on SD's forum.)...
