Quest for the dream Marshall Amp.

Most of the time, I would be happy with any 2203 Master Volume (100 watts) amp through a 1960 BV cabinet.

But this one would be amazing -


The 2000 Series

The 2000 Lead and 2001 Bass heads are probably the loudest and most powerfull Marshall tube amps ever built. These amps were introduced in april 1981, around the same time as the JCM800 series. It isn't clear if these amps were actually part of the JCM800 series. The schematics suggest they are, but you won't find JCM800 printed on the amps.

Special high power version of the speaker cabinets were made for these beasts.

1982A Lead, 4x12" 400W 16Ω angled front cabinet.
1982B Lead, 4x12" 400W 16Ω straight front cabinet.

These high power Lead 1982 cabinets were made for the 2000 Lead head. They were fitted with four Celestion G12H100 T3595 16Ω speakers.
