Marshall JCM2000 Dual Super Lead Head
July 11, 1997
Marshall Amplification announces the introduction of the new JCM2000 Dual Super Lead head in two models: the 100-Watt DSL100, and the 50-Watt DSL50. Marshall's engineering staff drew on their 35 years experience in amplifier design, combined it with the best sounds from many of their most celebrated amps and created the JCM2000 - the consummate and most versatile of all Marshalls to date.
Powered by four specially matched Svetlana EL34s power valves, the new JCM2000s feature a channel-switching design that yields sounds that range from "session" clean through ultra high gain crunch. The JCM2000 Dual Super Lead heads have two channels - Classic and Ultra-Gain - each with a mode switch that alters their respective gain structures across the entire tonal spectrum. Channel switching can be done from either the front panel or a remote footswitch.
The Marshall JCM2000 Dual Super Lead also features a Deep Switch, which adds a resonant bass boost for additional low end "growl", and a Tone Shift switch which is ideal for brutal metal tones when combined with high gain settings. The JCM2000 features individual Reverb controls for each channel, as well as an effects loop which allows the guitarist to add their favorite external effects processor.
"I can look anyone in the eye and honestly say that the JCM2000 Dual Super Lead range provides guitarists with virtually any amp sound from un-Marshall 'Nashville clean' to jaw-dropping hi-gain crunch." stated Nick Bowcott, Product Manager, Marshall Amplifiers. "I believe these heads are destined to take their place with the other great Marshall amplifiers like the JTM 45, Plexi Super Lead and the 1962 Bluesbreaker."
