    Great demo. I had to smile when it came to the Zakk Attack '88 section. The Boss SD-1 can sound a bit meh with some amps, but into a 2203 it is pure magic.

    I've got this amp myself. I don't think I will ever hear an amp that has a better overdriven sound than this one. I like it with all kinds of speakers except for the V30. This video confirms that as well for me.

    Very nice video! Great sounds and playing! I´ve owned this same amp since 1985, new filtercaps a couple years ago and checking up on circuitboard and soldering. I recently got hold of a 90-s 1960AX cab with the 6402 coned greenback remakes and it made huge difference nailing those vintage rock sounds (used to run 1991 V-30s for a more "metal" sound) . A little lead-push from a SD-1 and a dunlop wah is all I need right now. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Excellent video! I have a 1976 Marshall JMP 2203 MkII Master Model Lead 100W, and it screams. I have played JCM800's and I even had a 71 class A head. The 2203 just gives you great tone and everything that you want in a Marshall. I bought mine from a friend in 1980. It came with a 1960A cabinet all for the whopping price of $600.00. It has been my companion since. I had a 50 watt /switch put in for small clubs.

    Great video guys! I have a 1977 JMP and it is absolutely incredible. Lots of tone shaping using simple controls. Very loud amp but gives you all kinds of rock tones. It’s not a rectifier and it never tries to be. I run mine through a 1960AX with G12M Greenbacks.

    ALL the clips sound great, but the Badlands riff was so spot on, it got me to wondering if that's the amp he used for that album. I assumed it was a "1959" style amp, but in that clip Leon nails it with the 2203! (it's probably 90% Leon and 10% amp and cab anyway)

      Just a gain knob. This circuit however does sound pretty great with the master up and preamp gain down a bit though. Changes the character of the drive and sounds a bit more old school / plexi. It does get LOUD though.
