Youjust can't compare the 900 with the 800,not in sound nor in quality of the parts used.

quality wise, jcm 800 hands down.

as for sound, it is really personal preference. certain times, i do prefer my mkiii.  my jcm 2000 sounds like a compared to my 800 and 900. the 2000 didn't have the balls compared to the older stuff. the green channel was good for crunch, but not enough gain. the red channel had loads of gain, but no balls and doesn't have that signature marshall sound. it was trying to be too versatile and i think it ended up being kinda shitty. the MP1 destroys the jcm 2000 imo. its got better marshall tones and way more versatile just because of the different voicing it has.



i am all about single channel marshalls.

a local vintage guitar store has a marshall major. i didn't see it but they said it is near mint. they want roughly 2000 bucks canadian for it. they are going to redo some caps and do a full service before selling it.

what you guys think? i have no use for it, but sounds like a cool piece to have.

If you want that old Ritchie Blackmore, Deep Purple-era tone, then go for it! (But you have to get the cabs to match it)

Joe Perry uses a couple of them live, with about 10 other amps! Supposedly he keeps the all on too...  :dunno:

Just don't run a talk box through it, Joe said in an interview he tried it once and he thought it was gonna rattle his teeth out!  :lol:

   I used to have one of those. Louder than hell, but very one-dimensional sounding.

I believe it, but there is just something about that foggy tone.

I tried a Hi-Watt a long time ago, and gain wasn't it's strong suite, back then anyway, it was a very "clean" amp.
