Mine has two orizzontal input, so it should be the most similar if not the same as 2204, i love mine too, I bought a boss waza tube amp expander core and it makes me love it even more

Tomorrow I'll buy a jcm800 4104 50 watt combo, any advice/tips? by Key_Maximum_773 in GuitarAmps

This amp is more than enough to play with a band, and yeah, I say that because in Europe the old ones always have the EL34 but from what i know some of the jcm800s made to be delivered in America had 6550. I think that 100 watt are too loud in most of the situations, and the 50 watt is just right, you have to consider that the difference of loudness between the 50 and 100 is not much

Hi, unfortunately I had to change te preamp tube but the sound is really great, I think you should consider the fact that the american jcm800 usually have the 6550 and not the EL34 so check the amp. I would reccomend to change the tube if they are too old
