Marshall JCM800 2203 100 Watt Head

Overall, this is a very solid amp. It's an instrument in of itself and is excellent at showing of each of you guitars' unique voice.

If you are looking for a FIRST MArshall to buy definitely take a look at this one.

Get an 81 to 84' nothing post 84' and your safe! [read more on Audiofanzine]
