tonyl, man that is a great amp and eye-candy pic - I need a better camera and basic photography lessons !

I like the special manual, cover and guitar picks that were included. Also, I appreciate the cords that Marshall includes, but I typically don't use them because they don't mention (and I can't tell) if they are shielded (guitar) or unshielded (speaker) cables.

Hey Jupiter, those are speaker cables, included with Marshalls.

tonyl, thanks for the tube recommendations! Now i know not to overpay for Gold Lions! Any opinions about JJ's? JJ and EH are the cheapest CP valves i've found online, will probably end up buying one or the other!

I have read many blogs and they are re-labeled "Electro Harmonix", you can find these blogs too, it's easy. Just type "best KT88 tube" on "Google". Plus "Elctro Harmonix" have amazing preamp tubes too so you can use 3 ---> 12ax7EH (ECC83) and 4 ----> KT88EH.

Stay away:

These are the best, I use them too:

Have a nice day.
Good night from me.

I have those EHX tubes in mine too.
I didn't have any experience with them, but I got the amp in a deal and the guy retubed it a month prior to the day I got it.
I am glad to hear that those are good tubes.
Those were expensive; the guy gave me the the receipt to prove the tube change..

And because I am naughty....

Time for GAS....

Good night from me.
Have a nice day.

jupiter89 · 07-08-2011, 06:15 AM

Cool, intense GAS producing pictures ! Was the Zakk Wylde rig pic also taken in the Marshall factory or on the road or trade show ? That head is awesome looking. I wonder if Zakk had anything to do with the design himself, strictly Marshall, or a "team" effort.
Definetly on many GAS lists !!! Thanks for the pics.

Oh yeah, yup that is as you said "naughty". I am still getting to know my 2203KK, just had it less than a week, and here I am lusting for another Marshall head thanks to posts like yours.

I'm kind of the opposite. My amp quest seems to have been modelled after the 2203 quest. The 4100 was part of the 900 series, advertised as the "hot-rodded 800s". The 800 Super Bass was the Bass counterpart of the 2203. The 2550 was the "refined high(er) gain brother" of the 2203. The 1959 RR with its cascade mod was the "proto 2203" with its cascade channel serving as something similar to a crude 2203. Now I have the heaviest "stock" 2203 Marshall has made to round out the Marshall Metal amps collection. Barring some irresistable Golden Jube offering (or another good deal on another 1959RR), I think my amp-buying days are finished for some time.

JayCM800 · 07-08-2011, 11:52 AM

I'm only gas-ing for a new Class 5 combo! Only $400, i know, but i've been spending on lots of stuff that can't be avoided(taxes, travels, medical,etc.) and i'm out of "a real job", so i shouldn't indulge! I know there will be (i hope) a quiet month without gigs, travels and unexpected expenditures where i can probably make a move... or maybe i'll trade a guitar?? We'll see! Besides that the other thing i want is a Line6 Relay G50 and a 1960AV. The kind of gigs i do don't need a wireless and a full stack, but i'll finally feel "complete". But i have to get a "touring" Van first, and that's probably gonna happen first,like in a month or two!

JayCM800 · 07-08-2011, 09:01 PM

Good night, Guys!

tonyl · 07-09-2011, 05:22 AM

No, it was (the picture) inside the "Marshall" factory. It is a stock "2203x" (the Zakk Wylde) with the neccesary modifications Zakk needs; no team efforts like "AFD100" etc. Zakk is a simple guitar player, a "2203x" with "Groove Tubes" 6550 power tubes.

That;s why I stiiiiil dont know what's going on with this head. This head supposed to be released last year (about same period, one year ago) but never did. Also, there is a video from "Musimesse 2011" where a Marshall guy gives a small interview about the new products and when they arrived close to Zakk's head, he said that they designed it only for his current "Berzeckus" tour and it will not be available for production.

Now, there is a recent video, where Zakk talks about his amp, described them as "prototypes" of his new "Marshall" signature head called the "Steel Curtain" and that he talks with "Marshall" to add some new feautures in it (maybe like "AFD100" and "YJM100") LED tubes bias, Power scale(?)... Really don't know, but if this is the true reason about why this head takes so long to see the production date, then only happy I can be.
Have a nice day

Oh... and Jay, I know this is the ultimate "JCM 800" thread but this is for you

why does this 2203kk light up so hard? mine does not. is it a different tube? pleeeease explain.

DSL100 Dude · 07-09-2011, 10:55 AM

The lighting isn't from the tubes, it is a series of LED's.

JayCM800 · 07-09-2011, 11:52 AM

That lightning effect on Michael's 2203KK looked amazing! I have those pic saved to my drive!

tonyl, that new Zakk amp looks "Wylde"

I hope Marshall releases it, but if they do my guess is it will be "limited" edition.

Can anyone point me in the direction so I can learn how to do this? I googled it & searched the forum. It looks rad.. kinda vintage to me.

Harlequin tusk · 07-09-2011, 02:34 PM

Hey Guy's,

I had recently bot a brand new 800 KK from EBAY and one of the tubes is bad, does anyone know where I can buy 1 Marshall branded kt-88, the amp is brand new but I bot it off a non authorized dealer and have been told there is no warranty. Could I buy just one of these " Marshall branded" tubes or do I have to buy a quad and re bias?

Try resolving w. the seller.he guaranteed working order, so it's either a defect to dispute w. Paypal or a claim he needs to make w. UPS.

Sorry to hear that, but not the end of the world!

Write to Marshall, ask them as a loyal customer to sell you one??

One would not be helpful. They should be a matched quad properly biased and KTs cost a lot of money. You may be amle to use a non matched tube without catestrophic results but it won't sound like a properly biased set.

JayCM800 · 07-09-2011, 04:08 PM

Alright guys, have a good one! I'll check up here back on Monday! Got a gig tomorrow in Washington DC so i probably won't be able to log in tomorrow.
