Independent shopping perspective
built for the synergy modular preamp system, this jcm 800 cartridge brings marshall 2203 and 2204 circuit design into a compact dual-channel format. each identical channel has separate preamp, bass, middle, treble, presence, and master-volume controls, so rhythm and lead levels can be set independently. two 12ax7 preamp tubes work with a third 12ax7 for the built-in 0-watt power amp and phase inverter. bright, high/low input, and cathode-select switches add further control over attack, gain, and input-tube response.
