Marshall JCM 900 tone in a combo

Post by OmarAfzaal » Fri Feb 08, 2019 7:06 pm

Anyway to get close to the overdriven sound of a 900 in a combo? I know the 4x12 cab is a huge factor, but does Marshall (or any other manufacturer) make an amp that gets close? I know this is such a noob question, but I've been playing Fenders forever and really don't know the ins and outs of a Marshall. Any guidance would be appreciated.

The dsl40's can probably get close-ish. The TSL was the closest I ever played to a 900 so maybe dsl = tsl?

Yeah, any of the recent DSLs should get you there no problem. Also they made JCM900 combos back in the day and let me tell you most people won't touch those with a ten foot pole so you are probably good to go on grabbing one of those.

You could also try a Marshal Guv’nor pedal or similar in front of your current combo.

Where are you from ? Here in CZ the jcm 900 combos are fairly common and 2x12 4500 version can be had for as little as 500 e sometimes...
