Hey Brian, I got the JCM800 1x12" combo today. I had only 20 minutes with it...on my way to work now. My 1st impression : HOLY SHIT!!!! This amp has come a long way. I'll try to use my very mediocre recording skills to get a clip up by the end of the week. This thing is a serious monster...massive amounts of gain (easily reaches SLO territory), and still very clear/articulate...it's not falling apart/getting "flubby" anymore. AND, it cleans up beautifully...a very nice chime to it. People are going to be VERY surprised when they hear it live. And then when they find out it's only a single channel amp...LOL...the look on their face will be priceless. Awesome, Thanks man.
