Original jcm 800 , seen bette days
Hey everyone, my names chris and im in the us army. My buddy gave me a 80 something jcm 800 2 channel amp(50watt combo). How do I tell what version of the JCM 800 it is? Also this amp has seen better days, and when i play it loud it will cut out and ill have to hit it to get it back on. I dont play it now cus I dont wanna damage the amp. Any ideas what this could be, also now the amp doesnt distort very cleanly and sounds brittle. Any ideas
thanks Chris |

I would guess it needs new tubes.
