‘This original 1982 Marshall JCM800 2204 head represents the legendary sound that helped power the era of hair bands and headbanging. This amp was one of the first from Marshall to feature a master volume control that originally evolved from the Plexi head.
The JCM800 2204 remains the essence of simplicity due to one channel with no reverb control. If you want to rock out without a lot of fuss, just perform your sound check and then let this amp do the rest. The distinctive roar of the JCM800 set the standard by which all other rock amps were judged at the time of its original release. A convenient top handle makes transporting this legendary amp easy.’

This Marshall was purchased from Midnight Oil in 2004 and since then it has been mainly used in the backline of several Sydney recording studios. They include Studios 301, Electric Avenue, Oceanic, Skylab, Free Energy Device, Golden Retriever, Megaphon and Rancom Street Studios.
The amp has played the odd gig here and there and its studio life amongst Australian musical royalty has ensured that it has been kept in excellent condition.
It’s a stock 2204 with no modifications. Potentiometers, jacks and capacitors have been replaced as they have worn out over the years. It’s currently running I x AWA 12AX7 (V1) and 2Svetlana 12AX7 (V2, V3) preamp valves and a matched quartet of Svetlana Platinum EL34’s.
The Serial Number is 01351P making it a 1982 build.
For those about to rock...this amp sounds unbelievable, with a big clean and even bigger dirty sound with plenty of grit and kick. You will not be disappointed!
