1981 Marshall JCM 800 Combo, (Used Comm)
The 1981 Marshall JCM 800 Combo is an all-original vintage amp that captures the raw, unmistakable tone that defined rock and metal in the '80s. As one of the earliest versions of the legendary JCM 800 series, this amp is known for its high-gain British crunch, touch sensitivity, and powerful midrange punch. Built in the golden era of Marshall amplification, this model features the classic single-channel design with a simple but highly effective EQ section (Bass, Middle, Treble, Presence) and a Master Volume, allowing for natural tube-driven saturation at manageable volumes.
Inside, it boasts handwired circuitry with point-to-point soldering, ensuring reliability and rich harmonic response. The EL34 power tubes deliver that signature Marshall roar, with a dynamic response that cleans up beautifully with a roll-off of the guitar’s volume knob. The built-in G12T-75 Celestion speakers provide warm, articulate sound, making it a perfect fit for blues, rock, and hard rock players looking for that pure, uncompressed tube tone.
As an all-original 1981 model, this amp is a true collector’s piece, with authentic vintage components and classic Marshall aesthetics—from the gold piping to the black tolex and iconic script logo. Whether you're a player seeking classic tones or a collector looking for an investment in rock history, this JCM 800 combo is a powerhouse of pure Marshall sound, delivering the same firepower that fuelled legendary guitarists.
