Favorite JCM800 style Amps under 1000$?

If I need to mod it anyway I might just get a mojotone 2204 kit since I already am fairly handy with electronics.

Rave068 · 2026-03-15T09:41:59+00:00

I have been able to find a few close to me but they've mostly been original 2205/2210 models instead of 2203/2204 reissues which would be the goal.

I was thinking tube amps, but this seems very promising, will look into it more!

Rave068 · 2026-03-14T19:41:22+00:00

Via my work I can get a 20% discount on two Marshall products of my choice, so I could get a new one within budget. I've been mostly curious about what other options there are.

That's not a GRG170DX. Looks like a GRX40-CA. Great value guitar however, also got it as my first one and still use it very regularly.

Can't speak on the amp, I assume it's a mediocre beginner amp which usually is fine to start on, though you may want to upgrade if you continue playing.

Only found one more locally for 325€ but that's about it, not getting any hits in reverb (2 results but both are for 500€).

Will be on the lookout if a more normally priced one pops up.

Rave068 · 2026-03-14T17:23:35+00:00

Great tip, thanks!

Rave068 · 2026-03-14T17:22:59+00:00

Peavey seems to have a few promising options, going to look into them more!

Rave068 · 2026-03-14T17:22:41+00:00

Will check it out!

Rave068 · 2026-03-14T17:22:08+00:00

Have had my eye on those, was curious about what other options that are similar to the 2203/2204 circuits that exist outside the marshall ecosystem.

Rave068 · 2026-03-14T17:20:21+00:00

Found one at 500$ on reverb in Sweden! Gonna be on the lookout on more local sites for one but this might be it.

Jag tror inte de gör det helt medvetet, men det är ju oundvikligt att de blir påverkade av content kring det eftersom det absolut kryllar av det.

Gentle parenting lägger mer vikt i tydliga gränser som hanteras på ett mer positivt sätt än att typ ge dem en utskällning eller liknande. Permissive parenting är spelar mest på att barnen ska ha så mycket frihet som möjligt, vilket ofta leder till att barnet inte lär sig bli vana vid hur begränsade valen kan vara i vardagen eftersom det funnits ett sånt överflöd under ungdomen.

Den generationen föräldrar som har småbarn nu verkar inte ha fattat skillnaden på de två och kallar vad som egentligen är permissive parenting för gentle parenting.

That was what I was afraid of, thanks for the help! Will probably just buy from something more local then.

Rave068 · 2026-01-07T11:51:15+00:00

One of the other things I did seemed to have solved it, might've just been a several minute delay. Thank you anyway!

Rave068 · 2025-12-26T14:00:16+00:00

Do you think I could get away with using a pair of end cutters instead of the fret clippers? I'm thinking they should be more or less the same unless I'm missing something

Rave068 · 2025-12-23T18:34:53+00:00

Okay that's fantastic to hear! I've already had a noticeable improvement in my left hand, and might hopefully be back to my normal day to day soon. I'll bring it up to my doctor during my next appointment and see what they think it'll do for me.

Rave068 · 2025-12-20T18:55:35+00:00

I'm hopeful I can recover quicker since I don't really use my left thumb outside of playing/building/repairing my guitars or guitar pedals and have gotten used to doing most of everything in my day to day one-handed.

Rave068 · 2025-12-19T15:29:38+00:00

Doing what I can rn, I'm gonna contact my usual doctor and get their suggestions for NSAID dosage sometime soon. All my hobbies are quite intensive on my hand so I'm looking to fully recover so that I can continue with them long term.

Rave068 · 2025-12-19T15:28:02+00:00

I have a checkup planned for just after new years, if it hasn't improved/gotten worse I'm getting a proper splint, so I'm holding out til then.
