FS Dan Gower Killer Kali ++ 1981 Marshall JCM800 £2950

electricfurnace · July 2

Putting the feelers out as 1/2 and 1/2 about just keeing this beast as it would pain me to sell it, but I don't use it a huge amount as I'm no longer gigging but I've put off selling it as it's a very special sounding amp!

Price wise I think this is worth say £2950 all day long given the increasing price of good JCM platforms and how well respected Dan's work is.

Collection preferred (half hour from Cardiff, South Wales) but may consider shipping at buyers cost if you arrange your own courier.

Specs:

1984 Marshall JCM 800 2203 100 watt guitar amp. Modified to Killer Kali ++ spec with extra foot switchable clean channel by Dan Gower of DG Amps in November 2014 at a very big cost! Brand new filter caps throughout. All valves tested at the same time. Occasional use since.

Amp was originally a very clean and 100% stock 1981 vertical-input Marshall JCM 800. 100 watt version. I bought it and sent it off to Dan Gower for modding to Killer Kali ++ Spec. I also opted for the extra clean channel to be added. I also opted due to the age of the amp to have all filter caps replaced.

Sounds huge, super aggressive and articulate, tons of gain on tap and huge roaring midrange. Extremely fun to play! And the Clean channel is really lush and rich sounding, lots of harmonic content and detail in the top end. Due to the mods and the extra clean channel it's like having a Modded Marshall and a Fender Twin all combined inside one amp.
