Those things are pretty fun. The Mk. III and SL-X are super similar in that both have the gain sensitivity knob which essentially controls a boost in front of the preamp; the difference being that the Mk. III's boost section is solid state and has some clipping diodes in it, while the SL-X uses a tube instead.

Cool video! I have one of these, bought it for about $600-650 a couple of years ago. Currently using it in my death/thrash band, with a Maxon OD808 in front of it for a little extra clarity. We're playing in C standard, and it works great for that type of music. It's a bit muddy at lower volumes, but it clears up a lot when you crank it (I usually just use the A channel, with the volume up at about 6-7). Cheers from Sweden.

I’ve got a 100 watt SLX. Love it. More so than my JVM. One thing though, I had to have it modded to handle todays AC voltage. It needed resistors to handle 120v. It kept popping the main fuse then eventually blew all three fuses and the main and messed up the power tubes. After I had already had new tubes put in it. It’s a 96 so made in Britain, the Brit’s didn’t foresee the US power grid upgrades. So if you go buying a 30 year old Marshall make sure it’s ready for more than 110 wall voltage. It’s an expensive mistake that not all techs know about.

Great review, quick, straight to the points, well done. Ive had an original red tolex 50W SLX since the 90s. Unless you need a really clean tone (which you would go for a Vox or Fender anyway) these things can dial in basically any Marshall sound. It has way more gain than I ever used and takes Delay, Chorus, Flanger pedals just fine. And all tube, no diode which I think was the main knock on the other 900s. If you want just one Marshall head to cover 70s through 90s sounds IMO this is your best choice.

I had a 5881 SL-X and it was cool, but it was woofy. Admittedly I didn't spend much time with it to understand the way the pots affected the sound. It sounded great for the classic rock, but I didn't get the sound I was looking for. I preferred my VHT Pittbull, so I moved it along. I did have a JCM900 MK III and for me, that was my preferred version of the JCM900 lineup. It was a 50 watt EL34 version; and because of that I would love to try a 50 watt EL34 SL-X at some point. You did get some great tones from this amp!

Cool ya had both models...👍The MK-III was the 800 carry-over I didn't hear much about till way later. Sadly....boosting an SLX to get the preferred response/feel seemed childish back in the day.....EMG's were the preferred problem solvers I guess. Great amps! The VHT's out of the box were able to provide what so many were looking for at the time......but seemed to only shine with VHT-CL-50 speakers? My Ultra-Lead was very dry sounding and didn't gel with V-30's......which ended up being a deal breaker in the end. peace.

Really killer amp and guitar pairing. If you're looking for another underrated, inexpensive and awesome high gainer, you might like a Laney GH100L. They're basically like a JCM 800 2203 but with an extra preamp tube that can be switched in/out as you wish, so you can really get a lot of extra distortion compared to a stock 2203 if you like. Brutal, powerful sounding amps that sound great even as low as 2 on the master volume. They can totally get into thrash without any pedals cause of the extra gain stage,

I have an Ibanez Nu-tube screamer,MXR zakk Wylde overdrive (cream version), BOSS 40th Anniversary SD1. Now keep in mind I'm running a stereo setup thorough an Earthquaker Swissthings pedal and it has its own adjustable boost. So all the boosts work ok, sound good, but when I want to hit the preamp hard, I use the Ibanez Nu-tube screamer, it's an 18 volt and drives the front end better then an original. Then when I want a little more, I hit the clean boost on the Earthquaker Swissthings pedal and it's perfect. Some ideas for you to check out maybe! That Earthquaker Swissthings as well as the Ibanez Nu-tube screamer are highly underrated and very under utilized!

I also swapped out my Celeston Wolverine speaker for a Eminence DV-77 Mick thomson so that drastically changed sound (for the better lol). I do gain stack the Ibanez Nu-tube screamer with the clean boost on the Swissthings, but I also gain stack it with the Boss SD1. When I add the Peavey stereo chorus 212 with thoes amps, it's on the Lead channel. Hope that makes sense, maybe a bit more then you wanted to know lol

Wish they had used this for the reissue, the dual reverb is a stinker compared to the MKIII and the SLX.

sounded heavy, sounded great, sounded like a marshall. people like to just spew out the typical rhetoric, "BUT IT'S NOT AN 800". The 900 is my preferred Marshall if only for it's tonal versatility compared to the older Marshall amps.

These amps are good hard rock amps but not good metal amps. The low strings always start getting ill defined and ratty as you get the gain in the right spot. Definitely heard that again in this video. They may make an interesting mod platform as the bones seem to be there for goodness.

I’ve never understood the hate for the JCM900. Especially the SL-X. I think it’s a cool sounding amp. I guess the hate is because the diode clipping in the preamp. But then they’ll rave about their Jose style modded Marshall......that uses diode clipping. 🤷♂️ I guess the 2 preamp controls are like the Ceriatone Chupacabra. I mean the Chupa borrowed that idea from Marshall. Am I correct in assuming they operate similarly?
@Dan_Ranger 2 жыл бұрын
The 900's had diode clipping but the SL-X was all tube. I had a couple during the early 90's. Underrrated amps.

Heard about this amp when fluff mentioned it and immediately looked it up and came here for “scientific research” sounded good then all the sudden one popped up in my area and I was like “what the hell why not?” Haven’t looked back since the thing is absolutely B R U T A L and for $800 how could I go wrong! Love it and never getting rid of it, fun fact someone along the lines had replaced the tubes with ruby 6L6’s and still sounds very Marshall-y and heavy AF awesome video Kyle made the decision easy!!!

Over the last few years I’ve revisited the 900 series and they are all good amps that don’t really deserve the flack they get. They are great workhorses that get the job done, but with that being said, an 84-89 Split Channel 800 is in the same ballpark, but does it much better.
