A 20w JCM800 MV would be, as @ICBM has been campaigning for as long as I've known him, a best seller and a GREAT amplifier.
If they can do it with the Silver Jubilee, which in it's day was a less popular amp than the 2203 was then there's no reason why they can't do it with the 2203.
@TTBZ .......Do you have any way of suggesting this to someone there or would it fall on deaf ears?
Marshall Major Mini. 2w. Full stack with 8x6 inch speakers.
Comes with 10 bolsa wood black and white stratocasters so you can enjoy some Rainbow moments in your office.
Bluetooth, naturally.
Once you all stop buying the latest and greatest next best boutique amp, you'll all go back to playing marshalls anyway.
Id like to see an SL-X mini but I think the commercial appeal of that is somewhat limited
Joking aside, a Mini Major capable of about 50W would be really cool too. They're not just a 200W Super Lead, the circuit is quite a bit different. Made In Japan tone in a box…
You can still buy an original for less than a new reissue would cost. And you can easily use them to their full potential - they sound wonderful at quite moderate volume, due to being the first Marshall (actually first production amp I know of, although there may be something earlier) with a post-phase inverter master volume. I had two of them - admittedly I replaced the speakers with G12-65s - and used to run them with the MV at just below half usually, at which they're producing about 15W.
Definitely one of Marshall's forgotten gems, but I think we may be unusual in thinking so - I can't see a reissue ever selling.

I think those few years between us make a difference though because to my eyes the JCM800 is the better-looking amp but that's just my own nostalgia talking.
Aesthetically I think you're probably right, the JMP is a little more 'Classic' looking.
I bet they still don't go ahead and make either one of them or worse still they do it but they try to "Improve" it and in doing so ruin the essence of what they are.
That said though, did I read recently that you commented on a gut shot of the mini Jubilee that it looks quite different to the 100w original in terms of circuit and board layout/design or did I dream that?
2. 1974 with TMB and a PPIMV. A two-channel version (for my taste, two identical channels, with separate gain, PPIMV, and full tone stacks—not the common two-channel type you often see on kit-built 18-watt amps, where one channel is TMB with a PPIMV and the other with just volume and tone), and maybe a 4xEL84 30-watt version would be a bonus, but the 18-watt TMB is the critical one.
I’d buy one of each!
Valvestates (no longer made) and Codes were derided in the opening post but they are things that Marshall will sell/have sold in their tens of thousands as opposed to a few on some esoteric wish list.
Is there anyone around who would be able to do this as a custom build now MJW has left the fold....?
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
It really surprises me that Marshall don't now make a mid-market hybrid amp, since the AVT series was (rightly) canned. The first two Valvestate series sold well, sounded good and were generally reliable, even though they weren't actually built all that well in many ways. An updated Valvestate with circuitry from the 80 series, slightly better build and more conventional 'Marshall' styling would be a winner, I think - and a direct competitor to things like the Orange Crush.

Very impressed with it (and the 2525h I picked up).
I would be VERY surprised if they don't release 20w versions of other iconic amps; I imagine the delay in doing so might be around circuit complications or something?
I'll admit, this is probably a fairly niche requirement.
