This is pretty useful. It took me like 15 year to figure out what to listen to when dialing in an amp. Moving the knobs rapidly back and forth is a great way to find out when they start to sound nasty.

Hey! An excellent overview for those who want to choose a certain type of amplifier for themselves. I worked in the 90s with an unmodified 800 2203 '83 head with vertical inputs. Sound of a killer. If possible, test this amplifier. I think you will like it!

I used to own five 2203s at one point (late 90s - early 2000s and one of them was from ’83 and one a JMP 2203 from ’79 if I remember correct) but I ended up selling 3 of them and kept the two I still have ’cos I liked those the most. The 2203ZW I also have is pretty much a replica of a vertical input 2203 but just with Wylde’s graphics and 6550 power tubes. Great amps indeed and Marshall got it so right back in the day that they’re still my favourite amps after all these years.

People tend to ask for settings to have an idea I guess but I do agree they will be non relevant since we don’t have the same attack, left hand technique, guitars, cabs, IRs and headphone or studio monitors, so, it’s good to understand how you approach your tone shaping and try to replicate within our own style…
