JCM800s didn't actually start until 1981.

I usually take a lighter channel switching DSL…
JMP is def. one of the best amps ever. Mine has a push pull I added for changing the bright cap value and a resonance mod. Get good tones at any volume. It can be bright.. which I don’t mind.
I think they were the same values but a difference I noticed the other day was the coupling capacitors look different.
On one they are a mustard colour ‘drop’ and white box shape on the other.
The 800’s I could see online tend to have red box shape.
I’m sure it’s all marginal but would those caps make much difference to the sound of the amp, if they are the same value?
These JMP’s are pretty much all I need amp wise.
I’m now slightly down the speaker rabbit hole... I think the M Blackbacks are my favourite so far.
In most cases you aren't going to hear a big difference from just one cap - although there are a very few circuit positions where you can, the treble cap in the tone stack is a common one - but when you change the type of all the coupling caps in the signal path it becomes a lot more obvious. It's still secondary to the overall circuit design and the component values, but it can make quite a noticeable difference.

Gigged the 2204 again last night. It really is the perfect rock tone, especially through greenbacks. I think they are becoming my favourite speaker.
