Have a Good Friday everyone!
No! You have a good friday!
@@thingsandstuff4900 no YOU
Thanks ola 👍👍👍 always loved jcm800s. My favorite is the jubilee
I love this series!
I will, thank you ola you have a good Friday
I had a JCM 800 for about a year. I got evicted from every house and apartment that I lived in that year. Worth it 😆🤘
Man, this is a classic. Along with many other brands from the past. But Marshall jcm 800 moles. Now we play with fractal, line6, kemper but the truth is the collars are heavy amplifiers and the Marshall jcm800 is one of them!
That amp sounds amazing on its own
Would move to watch Ola learning any lamb of god riff/song. Mind you I could watch Ola eat a bowl of cereal and for some reason it’ll still be entertaining. His wife must be happy.
It’s coming next week. :)
I have this jcm 800 2205 running threw 2 Marshall cabinets with 75 watt greenbacks..
Damn. That gallop was tight.
Marshall JCM 800👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🎛️🎵🎶
Thanks god i have one of those..
ola have you recently played through a bogner cab? i have a rev blue uber through a mesa os. theres a bogner 4x12 st v30 for sale in the uk ,im considering buying it, any opinions appreciated man, love these in the room vids !
What version of celestion greenback
Ola has started playing a Marshall into Greenbacks. Music is healing.
okay boomer
@@whatskraken3886 Wow, that was original....!!!
@@MickH60 just like boomers
@@whatskraken3886 you need new material
@@whatskraken3886 Rather a Boomer than the modern day whiners .
It breathes, it's chunky, it's not fizzy. There's a reason why so many thrash guitarist used it. It just needs an atenuater when not playing at full volume.
the Greenbacks also makes the chunk more chunky, thicc even
Have a Silver Jubilee Studio Classic (20/5 watt) and it's the perfect volume with all of the tone, or so close I can't tell from playing the 100w Silver Jubes.
Defination of 80s thrash metal those tones were so chunky and beautiful
I don't know if it sounds as good as the V firty!!
Not fizzy? Lol
JCM 800 in the room ? Deafening ...
That is crazy. Love it
I love the JCM800 "metallic and honky" midrange barks, it sounds super precise and properly dirty to my ears. I hate that modern amps focus on bass frequencies. Leave them for the bass guitar!
Agreed, it makes a mix sound much more distinct and precise when you properly delineate frequencies to their respective instruments
agree!
The modern amps have a more defined low end indeed. It seemed to have started with the dual rec but as with the dual rec, if you dial it in for midrange and sizzle up top they respond to that type of setup quite well. Just my opinion.
I used to really dislike the Marshall tone but the older I get and the more I understand tone, the more I love it and want one. This sounds great. Then again ola could plug into a bowl of jello and it'd sound good.
Agreed, I my opinion Marshalls really need to be pushed hard to get a good tone. A lot of other amplifier manufacturers manage to get decent tone at bedroom volume, but I feel like every time I've tried a Marshall at bedroom volume, it just sound tinny and nasally.
“Will it Chug? Jello shots edition!”
There’s just something special about how mid focused and tight they sound. It’s a true benchmark tone
Lol, Same here so i ve bought a jcm 900 this year 😁
Maybe you are just becoming a boomer
A cranked 800 is one of the best sounds of all time. 👌🏻
That sounds amazing!!!!
the 2205 is the best JCM 800 ever made.
It sounds worse and worse the more shit he stacked in the jcm800 is killer all in it's own !
@@auntjenifer7774 Would have been sweet if he had put a Boss SD-1 in front. Asymmetrical clipping FTW!
This is probably one of my favorite rigs that you have showcased. For punk and rock and roll. This rig, will melt faces.
and old school metal,thrash,power metal etc etc etc etcv etc
absolutely!
Idk I would put that overdriven tone up against a 5150 honestly in a live mix
Those Greenbacks sound great, you make Marshalls really snarl in such a great way Ola!
JCM 800 is insane. One of the best amps ever is the 6550 tubed version. It retains all the compacted character and adds some clarity and massive low end. Just crushes your balls balls. So no extra EQ needed.
Interesting. I had the 6l6 version which gave it some serious bottom end
@@b1gnasty69 I’ve never seen one with 6L6 tubes! I’ll bet that amp roars.
Agreed.. I run 6550s in my JVM and it is killer. I actually hate EL34s in high gain Marshalls.
I got a 800 2210 100wAtt with 6550’s and it’s just completely brutal .
everyone needs they're balls balls crushed, ever so often
Best amp Marshall ever made in my opinion, loved borrowing them at shows back when I was playing Death Metal. Wasn't so much a fan of the 900s.
When hitting the front end super hard it almost sags from compression, I like that sound though, it's filthy as all hell.
Wow, What a difference in presentation. ALL amp reviews should be recorded the same way. It really does sound/feel like I'm in the room.. Even listening on my phone there's a difference in sound.. Nice job ya Sweed😆👍
Sweed 🤣
One of the best amps I've ever tried. From early Smashing Pumpkins and Fugazi to Slayer and Hate Eternal. Personally, I'd boost it. Phenomenal piece of kit.
The JCM800 is the perfect distortion amp for me. Anything from punk to metal, it just works. The Greenbacks are a nice speaker to pair it with, but as you noticed the lack of low end, some folks like the G12-65's which bring back some of that low end, or the G12M-65's (Creambacks) for some more low end than a Greenback but with a little more high end than the G12-65's.
Great video! Someday ill get my hands on a jcm800. Cheers man, love your content
the jcm 800 is classic 80s sound from maiden , priest Satch, vai, everyone played it. this AMP WAS THE SHIT AT THAT TIME
Dude!! That Marshall sound! 🔥 those greenbacks sound excellent 🤘🏽
Three Best Marshall Tones of all time: Eddie Van Halen on any early VH record & 5150.
Doug Aldrich on Whitesnake's "Forevermore" & "Good to Be Bad."
Zakk Wylde on Ozzy's "No Rest for the Wicked" & "No More Tears."
Metallica on ride the lightning
Rage Against the Machine's self titled.
I BELIEVE ZAKK USED LEE JACKSON METAL TRONICS PERFECT CONNECTION MOUNT TUBE PRE AMPS AND RACK MOUNT POWER AMPS. 3 COMPLETE DIFFERENT SET UPS. SET DIFFERENTLY. JUST USED A FOOTSWITCH TO SELECT WHICH TONE HE WANTED. I'VE SEEN HIS RIG, AND I HAVE THE SAME RIG MYSELF. BUT OF COURSE I DO LOVE JCM 800 2205'S. I HAVE TWO 2205 STACKS. ONE WITH 65 WATT SPEAKERS, AND ONE WITH 75 WATT SPEAKERS. BOTH HEADS ARE 1983 MODELS.
I listened to a ton of thrash metal in the late 80s and early 90s, and most of the thrash albums were recorded using JCM800s. It’s a sound that I know well, and love.
i think rtl was recorded using that amp too
@@panosmichal7920 this is a fact Gary and Rick from exodus used the jcm800 with two boost pedals. Gary used two boss sd1s and Rick used a sd1 and ts9 but Gary had his amp modded and ricks was stock
@@jacobgarcia2660 hey! Know I'm a bit late to the party, but I was under the impression of having read Rick's quote on the matter, and him saying that in the 80's he used to run a hot-rodded one to the point where the valves were glowing purple. Might be wrong, tho! Let me know.
@@apparentlysmarterthanyou3446 I’ve heard that before. I think Rick got his amp modded after bonded by blood
I've owned a few JCM800s, IMO, the 2205 and 2210 as well as the combos versions are the best sounding and versatile of the 800 series.
That's probably a 2210/2205 btw. Usually by the JCM800 people are referring to either the 2203 or 2204.
Ah man .. i wanna hear you do a 2204 now!
Best sounding amp in the world
love seeing Ola in front a big ass amp in the morning. Makes it all worth it.
Monstrous amp and monstrous sound. Also the Lamb Of God tune is awesome.
Tone was spot on through the Neumann mic right!
LOG riffs are always awesome as fk🤘
@@doomguy1430 absufuckinglutely bro
2:39 your tone and riffage is spot on Slayeresque. The JCM800 2205 has always been on my wishlist, but I’m never going to pay “that kinda money” for one! 🤷🏻♂️
Did they ever reissue the 2205 or 2210? I had 2 of the 2205s back in the '90s, but sold both. I've waited for years, but never heard of any reissues. Best Marshall head, imo. We called them "800 channel switchers" in the '80s.
Probably most iconic metal amp of all time
Well actually that would be the 2203 version...not the 2205

@@pandabearguy1 wholeheartedly
@@theloveofsin lol entertaining exchange guys😂👍
@@aleksifradet1654 worked for me......life is good 😁
The foundations of metal. In the context of a live band, it is absolutely perfect, which is what these amps were designed for.
My rig Is a moded 50watt JCM800 2204 and a reissue greenback cab from the 90's. I just had a fx loop installed, the original mod was a fourth 12ax7 in the preamp giving it gain for days.
I got the amp in 1992 and have been driving it hard since.
One time I plugged an old Les Paul with dirty strings into a JCM 800 4x12 and it was the heaviest thing I ever heard
There's an excellent reason why these amps are legendary:
They sound *F@CKING AMAZING* :)
Many Marshall fans hate the JCM800 Split Channels but...this video proves they are wrong 🤘
An awesome live sound I’ve heard was 2 SGs, one through a 5150 and one through a JCM800
That's what I use !
I've never understood why anyone likes V30's over Greenbacks. They slaughter!
I agree!
If you boost it with a TubeScreamer it sounds better with the V30. More open, bright, clear and cuts better in the mix. Before the high gain monster amps were invented your best bet for chugging was a TS + JCM800 + V30. However, non-boosted JCM800 sounds better with the greenback.
Totally, when the ear matures and you understand what a good guitar sound is. For many years I also went behind the vintage 30 cliché ... I had them in two 4x12 marshall cabs for more than a decade thinking that I had the best speakers and that nothing could sound better, but I always felt something .. Some understanding in the low frequencies ... Once I tried the greenbacks my world changed, the sound more compact, less compressed ... it is the ideal speaker for the british sound marshall
The lack of low end has more to do with the Greenbacks than the amplifier. Try that amp with some V30s or T-75s and you'll have a lot more bass to work with, personally I prefer the Greenbacks for their midrange crunch. Also that's just one model of JCM800, Kerry King used a single channel 2203 which is a completely different circuit than the 2205, "JCM800" was a series of amplifiers, not a single model. Nice video, the amp and cab combination sounds great, now I want a 2205 to go with my 2204, it never ends...
I have a JCM800 2204 and 2205. Prefer them through T-75's. Love both of those amps.
It doesn't get any better than a cranked Marshall with Greenbacks.
I grew up with the early versions of Marshall’s and to be honest, they’re the standard by which all great amps are measured!!! They simply kick ass!!! I also went thru a phase where I Had To try everything else-and I’m glad I did-in fact, I still enjoy plugging into different amps. BUT the minute I plug back into a Marshall, my ears can hearing it, my playing tightens up, then once I get that inevitable kick in chest, I feel like I’m home!! Almost like being a kid all over again🎶✊🏼
I love the split channels. They have so much more gain than the 2203. The jubilee is my favorite of the 800 family though.
7:47 dude I did not expect you to be playing walk with me in hell!!!! My favorite lamb of god song.
and this, ladies and gents., is the reason why the 800 was the industry standard for such a long time.
Ola, get the bottom speaker cab to complete a full stack because speakers in a Marshall b cabinet are meant to give the bass tones. Try it.
The Marshall Plexi tone is what all Rock tones are based off of .. Period
Souds heavier and chunkier without the boost IMO. More CHUGH in stead of sscchuugghh.
The 800 2205: one of the most underrated Metal amps ever. Got slagged for diode clipping when it came out but ironically, that is in 95% of hi gain amps today and no one bats an eye. It's a wicked machine and very affordable compared to the 2203/2204. Now watch, you wont get on cause people will run out and grab them all lmao
The 100w 2210 is my favorite. But hell yes the 50w amps sound great too.
Great sounding amp - had a chance to buy one in the early 90's....one more item on my life's fck-ups list...
The 800 is one of the best all around Amps ever made.. I loved my 800 2210 ,used one for years with the 25 watt greenbacks, killer tone.
Michael Schenker
@@bobubastardbbqandmetal9908 Yeah, he has been using the 2205 since they came out and he is amazing and sounds amazing as well. I have a 2205 myself.
Hey ola, now that you have a JCM with an efx loop you should do the master of puppets tone again, just for the fan service, it was awesome already
That sounds fucking amazing
Hello, Ola! I've subscribed to your channel. Solar guitars sound really good and Marshall amplifiers have the most distinctive sound!
Ohhhh yes I enjoyed the tones you got out of this baby very much 🔥
That's all we need🤘 awesome... since 1984 I play Marshall... Marshalls have caracter...and believe it or not, when a Marshall is on, it smells on his own way...that's great🤗 ....long time ago a drummer came in our Band room and he said: hey, I can smell that your band only uses Marshall...really no joke....sounds good and smells good😉
Damn! The green backs sound amazing! Plenty of clarity and punch
Yeah man them hot rodded jcm 800s are really 🔥. Zakk Wylde gives it hell . Lol
Still loving my 2203 from 83. With my 81 LP Custom. 😁
The overdrive pedal really compliments the JCM800,
I've had the 100w 2210 for over 30 years, if you put a graphic eq in the loop it can sound as heavy as fuck, also loudest amp I've ever heard 🤘
The great thing about the Marshall tone is that it sounds great for Rhythm and Lead as well without changes the settings. Its chunky but full in the mids as well. Whereas with the dedicated chug machines your lead needs readjustment. I love the Mesa tone and its a killer rhythm tone but if you try to play leads with the same tone, you disappear into oblivion.
Doesn't need any of the pedals...just the amp man, just the amp.
🤘😎🤘
LEGENDARY AMP! ✨
If the JCM800 is turned up really loud, and made even louder with a pedal, you might find that it's the Greenbacks that are unable to handle it. I was really disappointed to hear how Greenbacks sounded with my 2203. That amp seems to prefer the 65 watt Celestions.
Theres a reason why all of todays modern metal amps are modded versions of the JCM800.
Hi Ola, love this demo 😍 Can you till me if the riff at approx 7:45 is your own music? Thanks!
You are a very good and interesting player…..
You make the video fun to listen to………
Keep making videos please……….. 👍
OMG Is this the best guitar sound I have ever heard?
I had a 2205 like yours in the past and i loved that piece of gear, now i got a 2203x and i love it more! you should try one
Your amp sounds awesome! What are your amp settings? I have a 2205 and push it with an SD1 and have a 10 band eq in the loop. Thanks for the awesome sounds!
This was my First real Amp ...Lost it to a pawnshop...I don't have too many regrets in life...BUT this is one of them...!
Update just found one on Reverb in excellent condition and reasonable price
Kickass man, badass wife and killer jams Ola! Have a beautiful weekend all!! 🔥❤🤘
Very punchy and organic sounding, also kinda love how it focus on the lower midrange without interfering with the lows lows and highs highs of a drummer and bassist. Its kinda perfect to "my ears"
Lol makes my Blackstar ID Core 10 V2 and mini tube screamer sound like....a baby compared to this lol
lol
It is a baby.
@@dmitryowens Thanks Captain Obvious
@@alistairclifton1286
You're the one who felt the need to make an obvious statement, so I left an obvious response.
Ola, I have an old Marshall gr100cd amp head, this thing is a beast and very metal sounding. I've had it for about 20 years now, and its unstoppable. Can you please find one and review it? I think you will be impressed 😁
You could invite EUGE VALOVIRTA and let him bringh the BAD BOY .... :-)
5:30 wonder if it's that characteristic reactive Marshall 'sag' that works for everything but metal
Since when is the 800 underrated? It’s literally one of, if not the most popular metal amp ever
I have a 2210 JCM800 with a 4x12 that has Greenbacks in it. I put the Legendary Tones Hot Mod V2 in the amp, and it just fuggin screams. You should try one of those with your amp Ola!
Love this rig. My personal cabs have vintage 30’s, but it was cool hearing this rig with greenbacks tested playing da chugs. I’m sure these push a little more than my higher watt 30’s, just by wattage difference alone. I’m also glad you mentioned how you time align your mics. Is old school engineers gnash our teeth over projects that come to our desk that aren’t time aligned and then told why it’s not important to do so. Phase is important. You know this and I’m glad you passed this on to your viewers. Great vid as always. Love your stuff, Ola. Metal.🤘🏻
Literally no one has ever said the jcm800 was underrated.
Jus Oborn plays through a JCM800...that's all the credibility one should need to get one.
I remember Dallas Toler-Wade (ex-Nile, Narcotic Wasteland) showing his recording gear in some video and it was JCM900 with a boost and an old JCM800 cabinet. Such a great amp.
The thing is Marshalls are generally bright cutting amps. Problem is today many guys do not play live do in their bedroom or wherever the tone is unforgiving. Same with a Blackface Fender Twin. Once you play in a band and walk away ten feet then it sounds AWESOME!! Cuts through the frequencies of bass guitar, drums, vocals room slap back etc. If one was to listen to isolated classic tracks you would not like the tone usually.
Slaying babies since the 80's
This is like the first time I ever didn’t like an ola-boost with an amp; should’ve used the sugar drive
I sound ungrateful, this demo officially makes me want a JCM. I listened to it thru my recording headphones and I gotta say, I’d love this tone (kinda even wanting a greenback for my 2x12)
The jcm 800 just cuts so damn well.
Such an iconic sounds that works for doom, death, melodic and core genres. Fucking love it.
I'm primarily a rectifier guy myself
Proper Slayer tone in parts
But for me living your Tatts
Dude you always bring a smile to my face legend
It gets warm cleans too :) but the marchine gun sound is always my fav
Yeah I love the way this sounds. Man JCM 800 sounds so epic.
The best guitar amp set. Our former guitarists favourite. Rip Marco A.
Question for FAQ: how easy is it to get Swedish citizenship if I’m American, would I be considered a refugee at this point?
Sounds amazing !! I never have understood why people say the 800 doesn't do metal?
