better option for me: JCM 800 or SC20

Hi

I’m trying to decide which amp to get. My ultimate goal is to get out there and start gigging. I love big, dumb rock songs and have more or less narrowed down my search to a JCM 800. Here’s where my dilemma comes in.

For the same price, I can get either 1990 JCM 800 (50 watt) and a 1960A cab of indeterminate year or the little SC20 amp and cabinet.

Since I want to start gigging out, I am leaning toward the full-sized amp, with worries that it might be too loud even. However, since most of my playing is at home, I like the idea of the lower powered SC20. The one I played sounded super good at around-the-house levels. I am worried it won’t suffice if I try to gig with it. I have never played through an 800. (Or any half stack, for that matter. Right now my main amp is a Deluxe Reverb.)

So I guess what I want to know is which one is the better option for me? Do I prioritize stage volume or home volume? Does anyone even need a big, loud amp nowadays, or is a smaller, miked-up amp better in the long run?

Did I Make a Mistake Getting the JCM 800 instead of a Plexi? / Speaker Opinions for the 1960B

Looking for that Jimmy Page clean mid-range grind from the film The Song Remains the Same, not record - (and yes, I know he used a Plexi and had his Paul modded) / Steve Jones Never Mind The Bullocks grind (and yes, I know, he used a Fender Twin with a Custom Paul). I want to get in the ballpark of these sounds if possible, but I'm afraid I have the wrong head and DEFINITELY the wrong speakers (1960B 4 X 12 with G12 T - 75's which are garbage IMO). Here's my set-up, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Guitar: 2001 Les Paul Standard with Alnico 2 PU's. If you have alternative pick up suggestions (Whole Lotta Humbucker, PAF's?) or Capacitor Suggestions (which I heard make a big difference) please feel free. My real concern is:

JCM 2204 50 Watt from the 80's - I've read that this is more of a metal amp. That's what I'm not going for. I'm wondering if I should have saved up and gone for a Plexi - it's that classic, relatively clean grind with that mid-range hump that I'm going for. Is this true? Can anything be done - it simply has no clarity and is muddy, no matter what is done through adjusting knobs (pre-amp, master vol., gtr. vol., drive pedals MXR). This brings me to my next question concerning speakers. I've done a considerable amount of research, but seem to be going down a rabbit hole of more questions. Once again, any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Speaker Replacement Options for the G 12 T - 75's

1. Two Alnico Blues with Two G 12 M's - I know that the Blues are louder and more aggressive than the GB's. I've also heard the The Blues can blow out a 50 Watt Head - is this true?

I love the blues because they cut and grind, even if they are a tad aggressive. Perhaps the combo with the G 12 M's could temper it a bit (they're creamy). Is this combo possible? Will it sound unbalanced since the blues are louder?

2. Investing in Scumbacks or Webers but which ones? Honestly, I prefer the Alnico blues and G 12 M's after hearing a comparison between Scumbacks and G 12 Heritage and G 12 M's on YT, but I may be missing out on something here because better, more experienced players than me rave about them.

3. Two G 12 M's and Two G 12 Heritage - I've read conflicting reports on whether they jive together.

4. Four Heritage?

Thank you and once again any help would be appreciated.

Marshall code 25 + zoom

Hi.

At the beginning I want to point out that I am a beginner.

I have marshall code 25 and would like to connect a g3n zoom to it. Can anyone help me and describe what should be all settings on the amplifier to be clean. And the effect was from zoom. Should all knobs be screwed on? . As if someone were nice and described to me every setting I would change to, I would be grateful.

CODE 100H... WHEN???

I have been patiently waiting for Guitar Center to get these in stock. Three days ago, I saw there was light at the end of the tunnel... They were to be made available on August 7th! So, I hastily ordered two of them. This morning, I checked on my order, and the availability date is now October 9th!

Seriously, why the delay? Why can we not get a firm release date? How will Marshall make this right with loyal, dedicated customers who won't just cancel their orders and go buy another brand?

Class 5 Combo Handle/Strap Assembly

Is there any way to order the handle assembly with gold end caps that came with the Class 5 Combo? I bought a second hand Class 5 off of guitarcenter.com, and it seems that someone swapped the handle out for the generic Marshall handle that is available everywhere with black plastic end caps...missing the black plastic end caps. I was able to order another full assembly like that one, so I have the plastic caps, but I'd like to restore the amp to the hardware it was produced with.

Code 50 connectivity to iPhone SE

Hi all,

Along with a number of people on here it seems, I am having trouble with the Marshall Gateway App, which won't seem to connect to my Code 50 amp.

It worked first time round when I set it up, but now, a couple of weeks later, it won't connect. The phone says its connected and I can play music through it (when playing You Tube it comes out of the amp) but the gateway app says its not connected.

Unlike a few people on here, I can scan for amps and click the connect button, but with my phone sat on the amp, it just says 'connecting..." forever and ever and it doesn't. Why??!!

I've tried unconnecting and reconnecting the app on my phone as is recommended and switching the amp on and off but no joy.

Can anyone help and has anybody else had the same problem and managed to fix it?

Many thanks

Craig

Valvestate 8040 not working with pedals

Hey everyone. I cannot seem to get a boss super overdrive sd-1 pedal to work with my valvestate 8040. On the normal channel it doesn’t change the sound at all when I switch the pedal on. And I have a power source to the pedal and yes the red light is on on the pedal. So then I tried the boost channel and the amp just screeched. I do not know a lot about how to set these things up so any help would be appreciated, maybe I’m being an idiot lol but I’ve never had this problem with any other amp before
