I have finally narrowed my search down for my next amp. Yes I have jumped on the Marshall bandwagon.
I presently have a 40w Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. I mainly play at home on a decent volume. Im starting to not believe in "bedroom amps" as I can play a 40w amp on a pleasant volume in my room.
Now the main debate for me at the moment is
A JCM 800 (Combo 50w or Head 50w
or a JCM 900 SL-X Hi Gain 50w
I mainly play classic rock, such as camel, pink floyd, led zepplin, Journey, and even slash. Also play blues or clean or dirtied up. I improvise alot and look for the classic 80's rock tone.
Now its quite difficult to find a Marshall 800 50w head online (second hand). Apart form the MAIN question of JCM 800 or JCM 900 SL-X, is there a signficant sound difference between the HEAD version of the JCM 800 as opposed to the combo JCM 800?
Also is there a significant different between JCM800 and JCM 900 SL-X tone wise? Im guessing alot to waver for the JCM 800, is so which?, but both are pretty hard to find for me and theres a 900 sl-x available, so Im just wondering if the JCM800 is worth the hold off with my money til i can get on.
Many Thanks.
