That steal almost constitutes a real crime

Good deal because I love jcm800's. Also fairly easy to work on

Dark font on dark background... wtf are you thinking? Even on my color calibrated monitor it's barely legible. Whatever.

All of that for $300?

Thanks for changing the font color. You stole all off that.

And to top it off you got one of those little GK combos. Those were the hot ticket in the late 80's for studio and practice.

...and in good working condition worth as much as the total paid for all that stuff

She was recapped today, had input jacks replaced and rewired, and had some resistors replaced. Also got a switch from 6550 to EL34 and a rebias.


Verdict..holy crap. Amaze balls. Great amp.


Im in love...


Yep. $300 for the GK, 2204' and 1960. Cost a bit to get the 2204 up and running. The GK is being deep cleaned..might need new speakers as the foam surrounds are disintegrating. The cabinet sounds amazing. The 2204 sounds amazing. The GK will sound great when serviced..sounds good through the cabinet as is
havent plugged in the two Ibanez Soundtank pedals the seller threw in...don't hold out a ton of hope for them but...lol.

Does that cab say 260w?

If so I hate you beyond belief. Great steal! I've been searching for a cab with 65's to go with my 800's for a long time (everyone here wants $1,000+ for the cab)

Man, you should have gone to the racetrack after that deal--or bought a ton of lottery tickets!

Yep. 260 watts. They are 65's. :-)

Yep. 260 watts. They are 65's. :-)

Which sound tank? They were actually decent pedals.

I so love jcm800's. Side question how do you like the red eye cabs? Carvin doesn't offer them but how do they sound? I have a good ampeg cab but I always intrigued by the redeye

Nice score!

The pedals were the Phaser and Powelead OD.


I like the Carvin cabs a lot. I had the RL1000 head too until it developed transformer issues after years of hard use (4-5 times a week for 3-4 hours at a time for 5 years...plus whatever happened to it before I got her) and it was nice too. I got the RL1000, row 410 and 115 Red Eye cabs, and a Peavey MAX700 head for $300 back in 2010. It served well as the rig in my rehearsal studio. I sold the Peavey head and paid for the rest of the rig, so in essence, it was free!
