Just an quick update on this. I had the amp revalved with JJ's all round and the pots cleaned up at the same time. It's now sounding and performing rather splendid. I used it for the first time at band practice last night and am chuffed to bits. I have to use the low input in combination with an overdrive pedal as the high input is so damned loud. Shame, because it sounds fantastic. Still the low input provides a nice 'clean on the edge of breaking up' sound. Who said Marshall can't do cleans?
So here it is.
I'm using it with this

+1 I know on paper it seems a bit daft getting a pedal to make a Marshall sound like a Marshall, but the BOR's combined with a clean Marshall really sound more like a cranked Marshall than the same pedal in to a non-marshall amp.
Love my JCM800, it's getting the most use out of all my amps these days
Bandcamp
Spotify, Apple et al
Exactly what I used to do with my old JCM800, small gigs just crank it without pedals, big gigs, low input and a good OD pedal in High input. One of my all time favourite Marshalls.
It was originally on ebay. I was in 2 minds whether to bid on it but didn't in the end. I made the guy an offer a day or 2 later which he accepted, so we done the deal outside of ebay. He hadn't used it for years and had a nice coating of dust inside and out.
That's interesting. At the moment I have the OCD in one loop for a crunch rhythm sound with the delay and TS in the other loop for a lead sound. The OCD sounds great but I'm not completely sold on the TS.
The thread in the FX section about overdrive and distortion pedals singles out the Zvex as a pedal which works well with either a clean or driven amp. I might have to check one out. Thanks for your offer but unfortunately I'm in Gloucester. I also like the look of the new Xotic SL drive. Some nice sounds on the Youtube demos.
I will still have to explore ICBMs suggestion at some point of using the high input with an attenuator. It does sound glorious. I guess I could clean things up on the guitars volume control and simplify my board even further.
I like Marshall cleans, so long as you don't expect fender cleans. It's a very different character, and lends itself to the less tasteful side of blues - not those guys who sustain a note forever and sound smooth, jazzy and cool, bit those raucous guys who want to make a racket. Scoop the mids, it sounds cool
Never really looked into the difference between different jcm800s. They all sound awesome! I'd like a mosfet lead 100, too, they're supposed to sound immense. And loud
