Studio Classic SC20H : JCM800!!

I was looking for an all tube amp that I could use at home to record. After tens of videos and comparisons between this one and the other 20w Marshall versions (silver jubilee and vintage) I realised this one was the best for me.

You really need an attenuator to play it at home. I got the Bugera PS1. While it can steal some of the tone, it still sounds brilliant.

Pro:

- Sound is great, for the price you cannot get a better classic JCM 800 sound.

- light weight compared to the 100W;

- sounds really good with pedals;

- it's a JCM800;

Cons:

- low switch doesn't really make it more practical so it's kind of useless. Still sounds loud and the tone suffers;

It has only one channel but you can easily get a clean tone by rolling off the volume knob on the guitar.

Mine cracks a bit just when powering it on. Not sure if it's a general or normal thing, sounds like some filaments are warming up.

I would recommend getting this if you are more into high gain playing style. If you play mostly clean, check the vintage.
