no GOR, You don't like Marshall, you like MARK III, why do you like it, because I say so, yes that's why.

Just kidding bro.

But what do you think about ADA MP-1, they have the marshall sound, but with a lot of balls.

Yup, I've considered an ADA, but I'm still scared of that stuff (lol). I hardly even know how regular tube amps work, so i'm not gonna mess with Midi shit and stuff! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] All in due time. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

There's virtually no difference between the Older JMP 2203's and the JCM 800 2203's. Nothing was changed between 1979 and 1981 when they changed the cosmetics and the name. There are changes that have been made over the years, that make some amps sound different than others, but for the most part, a JMP will sound more like a pre '84 JCM 800, than a later model will, because they used half the filter caps from 85 up.

If you're worried about the channel bleeding with the 2205/2210, then look for one, that was made 1987 or later, they made some changes in 85,and even more in 87 to address the issue.
Personally, I prefer the 2203 over all of them, and I vastly prefer EL34's, but that's just me. I'm not a "Diode Snob" I just prefer the tone.
