Marshall 2203 JCM800 Head

The Marshall 2203 JCM800 is a legendary all-valve head that helped shape the sound of hard rock and metal throughout the '80s—and it remains a favorite for players seeking bold, aggressive tone with vintage character. As one of the first Marshall amps to feature a master volume control, the 2203 allows players to achieve rich power tube saturation at more manageable volumes, making it as practical as it is powerful.

Powered by four EL34 tubes and a trio of ECC83s (including a phase splitter), the 2203 delivers tight low end, punchy mids, and a biting top end that cuts through any mix. It also includes a series switchable effects loop for integrating pedals without compromising tone. Handbuilt in the UK, the JCM800 2203 is a timeless, no-nonsense amp head that continues to define what a rock amplifier should sound like.
