JCM 800 clone DIY amplifier kit (Modulus Amplification)

Here’s a demo of the MOD 800 2204 Small Box kit from Modulus Amplification. What can I say? It’s a JCM800!

I bought a JCM800 around 1983 and kept it for over 20 years. Then I sold it and pretty much regretted selling it ever since. This then, is a suitable replacement.

I don’t find the JCM800 the most flexible amp in the world (I find the Plexi more versatile) but it’s a cracking rock machine. I have always boosted them with an overdrive like a Boss SD-1 (I’ve still got the one I used in the 80s) so that’s what I did in the demo track.

I have modded this amp but the sounds in the video are with the amp on stock settings. The mod is Rob Robinette’s cold clipper mod.

I hope you find the video useful.
