Nice JCM 2000 TSL 122, 100 watt 2x12 combo MADE IN ENGLAND. Just serviced. Has new Valve Art EL34B power tubes! Freshly installed and biased. Preamp tubes are Marshall labeled 12AX7s and Yugoslavia made Ei brand. Loaded with two 12" Celestion speakers, one Vintage 30 and one Heritage G12. They sound great together. Everything works and is sounding its best. All connections cleaned and everything checked over electrically. Installed a Dr Tube Stable Bias mod which resolves all of the design flaws on these pre 2004 JCM 2000s which cause overheating. Its good to go now and sounds fantastic. Sounds killer for southern rock and metal styles but can be used for just about any tone. VERY versatile. Footswitch included, and fully functional. See photos for cosmetic condition, has a couple scuffs and dings from normal wear but has been well taken care of and is very clean. Has a couple small nicks in the grill cloth and one 2" or so rip. (See photos) Local cash pick up or shipped. Questions? Concerns? Lets talk. Can ship worldwide. Fast and safe from NJ. Fully insured and packed like a tank.
From Vintage Guitar Magazine- "the TSL has three channels – clean, crunch, and lead – which are each voiced with distinct tonal characteristics. Furthermore, each channel has independent controls for EQ, volume and gain, and master controls for reverb, presence and FX mix, and a deep switch. The deep switch can be used to fatten up the bottom-end by adding more low frequencies, making the overall sound bigger. Additionally, the TSL includes two built-in effects loops. Loop A is the master loop that functions for all three channels when it’s used alone. Loop B is effective on the crunch and lead channels only. When both loops are used together, Loop A works with the clean channel so you can separate effects chains between the clean channel and crunch/lead channels. The FX mix control adjusts the dry/wet effects mix as a parallel loop for levels 1-9, then becomes a full series loop when set on 10. The TSL uses four EL34 power tubes and four 12AX7 preamp tubes. Channel switching can be done manually or with the included TSL Foot Controller, which also can be used to activate the reverb and effects loops. Red LEDs indicate the functions in use. Marshall amps have never been known for their clean tones, but the TSL’s clean channel has surprisingly clean – dare we say – “Fender-like” tonal qualities. It can get dirty if you set it that way and gets great tones for playing blues and styles where you would want clean sustain or smoother dirt. Along with the standard treble, middle, and bass EQ controls, the clean channel also has a separate switch for mid boost. Activating the mid boost disconnects the middle control and reconfigures the way the treble and bass controls work together. The lead and crunch channels follow the footsteps of Marshall’s more modern high-gain amps. These two channels share master controls, but have separate controls for EQ, volume, and gain. Both also have tone shift buttons that create that mid-scooped (V) EQ – a favorite sound of metal players, heavy rockers, and those who want that type of a deep, fat sound. The lead channel offers a bit more gain and slightly more edge than the crunch channel. Otherwise, the tonal characteristics of the two channels are nearly identical. When going from a rhythm tone to a lead tone you want to have a bit more gain and sustain, and you typically need a stompbox to get the overdrive for that extra push. Not here – the lead channel on the TSL offers that extra push. Another area where the TSL shows dramatic improvement is in the reverb. It enhances the depth of the amp’s tone without sounding fake or overpowering. The reverb effect ranges from a subtle shimmer to a deep, rich sound with more intensity. Additional front panel features include the power and standby switches and a Virtual Power Reduction switch which modifies the power amp circuit to emulate a lower-powered amp (approximately 25 watts, according to Marshall). For techheads, the circuit modification takes place between the phase inverter and output tubes so all four power tubes remain active and operating in pentode mode so the four power tubes wear evenly. There’s also an output mute switch which can be used to instantly mute the output from the speakers without having to put the amp on standby. This is great for quick, silent guitar changes or turning off the speaker while recording. The amp’s back panel is where you’ll find the main’s input and fuses, three loudspeaker outputs (one for a 16-ohm cabinet and two wired in parallel for four or eight ohms), an impedance switch (four or eight ohms), an emulated line out (uses the same circuitry as Marshall’s JMP-1 preamp, accessed via an XLR connector, and suitable for running direct to a board, DI box or recording console for full Marshall tone with emulated “cabinet” tone), send and return jacks, and loop level switches for each of the two effects loops. The loop level lets you adjust the send and return levels to the optimum setting for the effects you are using. For most rack effects, loop level is set for a high signal level (switch out) and at a lower level for stompboxes and certain rack effects."
