About the Marshall JCM800 4211 amplifier:
The Marshall JCM800 4211 is the split channel, 100 watts, 2 x 12, combo version of 2210 head. Introduced during the 1980s, the Marshall JCM 800 series added sought-after features to the product line. Features include an effects loop and master volume.
The amp features individual gain and EQ controls for each channel, Accutronics foot-switchable reverb, effects loop, and a line out with separate gain control.
Cosmetically, the JCM800 models sport larger logos on the heads and speaker cabinets. Another difference is the addition of grille cloth material on the upper two-thirds of the headbox, replacing the all-vinyl look of earlier Marshalls.
So it is a handsome design and one that was carried over to the JCM900 line, as well.
