HANGAR18 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 25 years old. A Marshall JCM900 two channel Hi Gain Dual Reverb amp model 4101 in a 1x12 combo configuration. By no means did I need another amp but I thought this one would be just nifty, especially since I already had a Marshall 1912 cabinet sitting around doing nothing. This amp fits perfectly on top of the 1912 cabinet which means that I now have a genuine 100 watt Marshall "quarter stack". Ever seen one of those before? Brand new JCM900's are huge and only fit on top of 4x12 cabinets. (Thanks to that other thread, we all know how popular 4x12 cabinets are. ) I even traded in a horizontal Mesa 2x12 Recto cabinet in order to offset the cost. The Ma&Pa shop where I bought it has a great amp repair shop in it and so this one if fully checked out and refurbished as needed. New tubes too I believe. Small in size, easy to transport, lots of power and nifty because they don't make them like this anymore. Not sure that I'll use it very much but it sure seems nifty.

Yooper Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Now that's my kind of stack! Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pressure Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Great minds think alike. This is something I proposed to the Mesa custom shop back in May 2014. A 100 watt KingSnake on top of a 1x12" cabinet. They have not responded. But I still have hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulk1 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I used to gig a Marshall JCM900 5102, which is the big brother to yours. My fav Marshall amp. And one that I really miss. Congrats on picking up the 112. Is yours the EL34 or 5881 version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HANGAR18 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well, the AC has been out since Thursday. So yesterday, since all the windows were open, I figured that I'd just set the volume on this baby to 9 and let 'er rip. hahaha Jeez this thing gets pretty loud. Not bad. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered that I didn't familiarize myself with the amp enough prior to plugging it in and cranking it up. I returned to the store to ask the owner some questions regarding the back of the amp. Apparently the High/Low switch on the back is what I would call a 100 watt/ 50 watt selector switch. I had it set to low, ie 50 watts. THEN, it seems that when I plugged in the second 8 ohm cabinet I was supposed to switch the impedance switch to the 4 ohm position. Flipped the two switches, cranked it up again and DEAR GOD!!! That thing is LOUD!! and I only got it to about 7.5 or 8 on the volume knob. Ears ringing... pain & suffering and so on. Glad I got that out of my system... not doing that again.

tulk1 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 You cranked that to 8? I said ..... YOU CRANKED THAT TO EIGHT? Good thing your windows were open. A drummer buddy bought a 4101 a few years back. He'd always loved the sound of my 4102. AND .. I got to use it Saturday evening. Man, I love that amp. The one I wish I hadn't sold.

tbonesullivan Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Damn.That's one loud amp. I have a TSL122, and it shakes the foundations at "2". I can't imagine it on 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
