i like going back to these videos to recapture the feeling when i first started guitar and watching youtube guitar videos
sounds awesome.
I think if most people heard this sound and didnt know that kerry King was associated with it they would be much more favourable toward it.
In my opinion, for metal, this amp is probably the best in terms of all it can do and the tones you can get without needing anything extra at all. You really can just plug into this thing and play with a tone to rival any set up involving pedalboards and external effects.
Dave Bostock Which is a JCM900 like Motorhead uses...
Even without the beast engaged it still has that signature sizzle.
I love watching this guy make every amp sound like ass. Seriously I find it hilarious.
What does "sound like ass" mean?
Darth Nihilus listen to the demo. He makes every amp sound like a different intestinal disorder.
I mean,maybe "ass" = badass,but, I believe you meant it different
+Crimson Ghost Amen.
+Crimson Ghost Holy fuck you weren't kidding. This was more brutal than usual.
My god!! It sounds amazing! Great playing too!
he's got the single mother can i speak to the manager hair cut lol
this guy can really play. no matter what genre
Revisiting this video in 2019, still amazed by this amp lol
2022 and still wicked
Extremely well amp demo run through!
it sounds so nice, it has a lot of depth.
Didnt expect this amp to sound THAT good.
oh dang..
this amp sounds like a beast
gotta get this!
I was lucky enough to try out this head and it really is a beast! Allmost over the top when you press the beast button, allmost.
Absolutely awesome metal and hard rock amp.
I played one of these at my local music store, and I have got to say it sounds amazing, my only gripe is that it doesn't have a clean channel.
ok ill definitely do that :] its alot more helpful when someone can hear how it sounds before they purchase one
This amp is amazing!!!!!
i played on of these amps and i got to say that it had the best sound i`ve ever heard!!!
Good video, clear explanation, technically......cool
Seems like an awesome amp.
those EMG's also add to that INSANE!!!! metal tone
I gotta say, this is a sick amp. The built-in noise gate and EQ is awesome too, you could get a great great, clean sound without a pedal.
You are on so many videos that I watch dude
my dream amp
thanks man ill look into it
Every time I see a demo of an amp or guitar I'm thinking about buying, and the video starts with "Hey Guys, it's Paul from Guitar World" I die just a little inside
this amp is a jcm 800 with the beast control added which gives the amp more gain and a noise gate. it also activates a signiure EQ which kerry king had made. i got one on monday and its realy good
Paul is playing a different guitar here? ITS A MIRACLE
Exactly that's where they get you, there are in fact solid state preamplifier's running in series with the "5 preamp tubes", the preamp tubes act like buffer's while not really really producing and shaping your gain stages
This is my dream head minus the KFK part. This one is awesome too!
I used to have the same Eclipse. Really regret selling that guitar. Thing was $1399 brand new in 2007.
you can hear the clarity of the amp's speakers when you play full chords, instead of powerchords, many amplifiers can't bring out the full chord, though this is also mostly a pickup problem.
If you're into this type of music, great guitar tone. I'm more into overdrive than distortion these days but very nice thrash tone.
most amps jsut have 3 bands of EQ, treble mid and bass. i have a 10 band so i can basically tweak with everything. it allowed me to dial in and out things that no one else can do with just the regular eq on the amp. it allows you to dial in anything you want really
The amp sounds gnarly even without engaging the Beast mode.
So without the beast section engaged, can you get a clean tone with the gain turned up on your amp and volume rolled off on your guitar like with the regular 2203
With the Dime guitar it sounds way more killer !
Also depends on what cab your using,
5:20 That tone is pure hard rock n' roll music!
played an evh aswell, its a pretty awesome amp
Im not really a marshall guy, but like this amp sound. Do any other marshalls get this sound? Or just this KK model?
i've got the original jcm 800, which is the same as this model just not as beefed up with distortion. the amp only has one channel, so the clean, if you set the volume right, sounds pretty good.
woooha!! the beast rocks!!
holy crap that amps sick
he must love that Esp!
this guitar is sick!!!
@Vagsalt thank you very much man, because i think it was a dean razorback cuz looks almost the same in appearence but not sure in sound even that both are Dean guitars, so will check it out cuz, this one really sounded great, even when it doesnt use emg's
also he used emgs. cold and lifeless are the main attributes of those pickups if you ask me.
instead of thrashing this amp some people, who don´t even have good gear so they don´t know what they talking about! should at least hear this , now, discontinued amp, a chance i have three marshalls this days the the joe satriani model, the malmsteen model and the jvm410head, but i tried this one and it´s one hell of an amp that i regreted not buying, comparing this like some people do with the mg line is total nonsense, thanks paul for this review and you play much better then some say you play i would love to see the people who put you down as a player and demonstrator of gear play that would be amusing, cheers guitar world i buy your magazine every month since 1990 when i was living in the states and i never stop buying, except when i lived in china there was hard to find
Paul makes it sound like ass though
RIGHT, HE'S GOT THE CLEANEST TECHNIQUE I'VE EVER SEEN INCLUDING ALL THE GUITAR GODS WE KNOW AND LOVE, THERE SHOULD BE A UA-cam RULE, IF YOUR GOING TO TALK TRASH YOU HAVE TO POST A VIDEO OF YOURSELF PLAYING FIRST
If I had this amp I'd sit there for hour's trying to trick that LED xD
pretty cool amp for thrash/metal
a marshall jcm 800 and an mxr gt-od pedal the tone you can get from that is godly
i have this head and play it with a 1960a cab but for some reason lately it plays a lot more quiet and i have to pretty much turn my master volume up all the way to get a decent clean volume. help?
is the jcm 800 just for metal or could i get the good old marshall crunch out of it as well? not talking about the KK modd just the normal jcm 800
ok thanks for ur help
I like the noise gate..
thats because of the video editing, they're using a compressor on the video. you can also hear that when he starts talking after 2 seconds of silence or so. not an amp problem.
I agree with both of your comments.There are alot of amps out there that sound as good or better without spending this kind of cake.I have 2 JCM's and one Mesa.Now I am looking for something new and the Blackstar series one is killer,smokes my marshals,and Mesa in every way possible.And has the DPR so no need for the attenuator.Also looking at Baron amps,and Mako,so yes there are other manufacturers putting out some super nice stuff for good prices.Blackstar series 1 is it for me so far.
damn the built in gate is fucking awesome
k :] is paul using a attenuator though? or will i get that marshall sound out of it with a volume level of like 1-4?
well it depends on what you like best but I would go with engl powerball or kerry king, whichever floats your boat
if i was going to use my boss mt-2 pedal, not saying i would do but how would i get a totaly clean sound to use it? i usually get this problem with amps and it get quite annoying.
Curious, can you engaged the gate and roll back the "Beast" nob completely. I want to basically use a Boss HM-2 (for that Swedish Death Metal tone) in front of a JCM 800 and have the excess noise taken out. Is it possible?
Just wondering if you can tell me wich guitar is the blue one, is by a chance a Dean RazorBack or something like that? with dean humbuckers?
oh yea? i'll have to look into them
So he plays a Kerry king inspired amp with out playing slayer riffs,Then busts out a dimebag guitar?
Nathaniel laughlin he's not aloud to play other artists songs because of copy right or some shit like that lol
He played slayeresque riffs. As a major magazine they probably don't play actual riffs for risk of lawsuit. King was friends with Dime, and someone who is likely to by a slayer amp probably owns a Dime guitar or is at least likes Pantera
no. heads and cabinets are always compatible assuming the ohms are matching. (16 ohm cab 16 ohm head, 8 ohm head 8 ohm cab). but the cabinet should usually have a power rating equal or higher than the head. 100 watt head, 250 watt cab
@ilovepantera97 actually theres a demo of him showing off the amp and telling people about when and how hes used it
I'm kinda a noob, so i have a nooby question. do u have to have the cabinet under neath for the head to work?
Kk head + dime guitar = boom best metal tone
i would kill for that Dean ML in the backround to the left there :P
i have this amp with a stack and i love it i would recommend it t anyone! It rocks
I'm looking for a old school thrash sound... what amp/pedal would be best?
this guy really knows how to test equipment
i have the same dean guitar all my faves use marshall yngwie frehley lynch satch mr rhodes slash me lol i was messing arround in guitar center manny years ago i kranked on a acoustic amp i was shocked it sounded great marshall engl laney soldano blackstar carvin im thinking adding to my collection
@XavSch yes,he playes a clean part in seasons in the abyss
forget about the dsl, it doesnt stand a chance against these imo. and between the 800 and the 6505: what do you play, do you use effects, and how loud can you go?
One day, a kid went out to get a Marshall JCM 800 KK signature amplifier thinking it will make him sound like Kerry King. Kid came back home with his dream amplifier and started playing Justin Bieber riffs.
Kids Theese Days...
"Justin Bieber riffs"...? What the fuck?
since when do justin beiber songs have riffs??
@dnnysrock huh?? How do you figure that? I'm not saying it's not true, but, it's not visible in the video...
@hoodiey no effects loop? does the standard Jcm have one?
i dont know who this kerry king is but, i like him already! this amp is amazing 4 metal! sounds a lot like metallica's kirk 2 my ears
its so powerful
How does this compare to the regular Jvm 410h.
I know I know the answer, but still.
thanks man maybe a engl fireball or marshall jvm410 do you know where i can find a jvm cheap?
Paul your the best
I WANT ONE!!!!!!
EMG and Marshall perfect combination
if im not wrong the original jcm 800 used 4 el34 tubes instead of the kt88
can i use a marshall amp head with a different speaker? im new to these kinds of amps
can someone explain me what is that box under the JCM 800 and for serving? What is the chest, head, combo? You need microphones to achieve the 100W? That thing under the JCM 800 as is it called? And it must be the same brand (in this case, Marshall)?
man i want this head....
Question: could i use this in my bedroom? or would it be to big..? i also do maybe 3-4 gigs a month? im 15.. and need help. please and thanks
i kinda like this amp! and i by far do not play anymore slayer in the set list,maybe 20 yrs ago. but i do like the extra gain structure on this amp, and the gate! bill lawrence pickups kick some major ass, espiacally when he work at gibson betwenn 88-90
can i split the channells and put a switch in it?
he has a good tune
@mgdth502 I asked the same question to my self, by the way I did buy the JCM800 2203KK and omfg. its has the gain and tone that my Mesa Triple recto cant reproduce. I was abit scare if I should get a 2204 or a 2203kk, I got no regreats and I am looking for a 2nd 2203kk just to have as a backup. maybe someone can explain to me the diffrencies between all the JCM800 out there? and which is the most papular model and the one that is on demand?
Awsome!!!!
IS THERE ANY CLEAN CHANNEL ON THIS AMP?
Hey does anyone know what cab hes using? it looks like a marshall 1960, but i could be wrong.
there is some kind of effect on the guitar sounds like a reverb tail or like a slight delay. that or the room is really live
Or Amps like the Blackstar series 1 heads.They have the DPR,and ISF features that eliminate playing at low volumes and losing gain.The DPR,dynamic power reduction goes from 200 watts down to 20 same thing with the 100 watt head.I got rid of my trple recto and JCM 2000 to get the 1/200 and no regrets its the sickest and most versital amp ive ever played in my life.Still have my 900 though,best Marshall ive ever owned.Just MO but check out the series 1
is it just me, or do i hear a loud pop caused by the noise gate when he starts playing? i wonder how this sounds like live, not on cam :S 2nd how do you go from clean to max distortion???
this amp sounds and looks killer though :D
