Brilliant. Now get those nonsense graphics off!

nice one Hunter, you'll soon have had all the great amps! ;)

hope you get a lot of pleasure from it.  so, without the beast mode engaged, it's a standard JCM800, is that right?  and it costs less than the standard 800 re-issue?

There are a few differences to the normal 800, the KK has:
-Only one input (High, JCM800 has High and Low)
-Bigger transformers - those from the JVM
-KT88s instead of EL34s
-No FX loop whereas the reissue has one

I have a great suggestion for Marshall ....

Reintroduce models 2203,2204,2205 and 2210?

MAY PROVE TOP BE VERY POPULAR

Early 70s JMP PLEASE

If you are ever selling this amp and would take sexual favours in return for it. Give me a shout. I really, really want one of these!

How are you getting along with it, full review please!!!

ah, i see.  any thoughts on how the KT88s sound different from EL34s?

There are still at least ca. 250 that are on the list for trying out one day ;)

Either that or shave my head, get em tattooed on it, grow a 30cm chin beard and wear really really heavy chains instead of a belt.

I have bad GAS some days, but I don't think tone quest related dedication ever drove me that far!

I think they move more air and extend the frequency range especially in the low end. I never felt so much low end punch by a Marshall before, without getting boomy. I did have to turn down treble and presence a lot though.

I wonder if it's got that bright cap thingy that I should cap?

Here some pics from guts and stuff:

And some more, the last one is the beast circuit (hidden by the PCB):

Hey hunter, have fun with your new amp! Very nice tone in the video.

One question, as i consider myself a jcm800 instead of going the jvm410 route (either kk or the reissue one with the loop) and i'm thinking if its right gain wise for some 80s hair metal (of course kk has the beast) can you tell me the setting of the ocd when its kicked in in your video?  (i have one myself) is it set like a clean boost (gain zero, volume up, LP mode) or are you adding some gain from it?

I think it's adding some gain, but minimal, maybe gain at 1/10, but I run in the high setting on the mini switch.

I do recommend the KK over the JVM, it's much more versatile than you think, especially if you slave it for FX (see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTsca2T-g6c)

Thanks mate!

Yeah thats what i'm thinking of doing, a wet / dry setup (actually i already do it with my Dsl50 and Tsl60 heads) because for my music style, delay on solos is a must and sometimes so is flangers, phasers, choruses etc, so jcm800 with my hotplate line out to fx and then to my dsl50 power amp, two cabs, one for the jcm800 and one for the dsl50.

The only thing that the reissue has as an advantage is the fx loop for stand alone use of the amp with fx but i hear you say that the kk is better built, so may worth going for the kk version.

I didn't say the KK was better built. I have no knowledge of the build quality of a RI 800. Maybe compare them side by side as the KK will sound different with its KT88s.

great tone on this one!
it's a bit of a complication and i'm struggling to keep things simple, but it works perfectly!

Sounds really good :) Just hate that graphic. I wanted one of these ages ago but no fx loop is a bit of a pain for me (use an eq in the loop for leads) and I can probably get similar enough tones with my Laney :P
