Members surfcat Posted August 25, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2007 The 2553's are what are meant to go with the 2x12. The 2553's are smaller than the 2550's and 2555's. He has a 2555 or 2550 I dont remember. the 2550's are 50 watts, the 2553's are 50 watts and the 2555's are 100 watts. Hope this cleared things up. Thanks-that's what I needed to know.

Members Sudds Posted August 25, 2007 Members Share Posted August 25, 2007 I'm a little confused with all the Jcm800 models and the amount of gain they actually have. Is a boost essential to get hard rock distortion at lower levels on all of them or just the single channel ones? Does the 50w break up much easier at lower volumes than the 100w? Just not sure which model to look for. I don't need stadium level volume-just small clubs or outside party type gigs so 50w should be enough-would I need a pedal for that to get GnR level distortion? 2203/04's (100W and 50W), single channel and will need a boost pedal for what you want. 2210/05 two channel, no boost pedal needed. 50W versions are very loud. All are 'master volumes' so dirt at lower volumes is no problem, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More difference in the feel, if y'know what I mean...If you fail to sound good on any of these amps you need to put the guitar down and walk away from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree....all 800s get a lot of their sound from the power section and sound fantastic cranked..... however at low volumes....(below about 4 - which is still loud as hell) they don't sound great IMO....but i LOVE them!

Members Sudds Posted August 25, 2007 Members Share Posted August 25, 2007 It goes without saying that the harder you drive it the better it'll sound :D:D:D Not used my bro's 2210 'in anger' yet...Got to wait until he's out of th ehouse long enough for me to get it to a gig and back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
