Key feature: first Jim Marshall Amp to have a 'master volume'.

Park PMV800 - Park Master Volume (Cascading Gain became the JCM Series).

To be able to influence a generation of music is a big deal.
To be the defacto sound is remarkable.
Jim Marshall got this circuit right when he added a Master Volume and cascaded the two channels.
As famous in the recording studio as on stage around the world this is the sound of Rock and Roll from the 80s forward.
The Park Master Volume - updated with switchable mods by Mitch Colby to offer a bypassable effects loop and an expanded tonal range.
In his own words - Mitch: many players found the vintage versions of the Master Volume Amp to be too bright.
In the new PMV800 the brightness has been decreased but you can select that extra (original) brightness by using the Push-Pull pot.
In certain applications the vintage PMV800 amps didnt have enough low mids and bottom.
The second Push-Pull takes care of that.
The best of both worlds.
First Jim Marshall Amp to have a 'master volume'
800 Series Amp - dominant sound of the 80s
EL34 tubes (Classic British Tone)
45 Watts clean, 65 Watts cranked.
Solid state rectifier.
High 5 stage filtering.
2 inputs (hi/low)
Hi input cascades through 4 gain stages
Low input travels through 3 gain stages
Pull/Push - bright - adds back original bright level
Push /Pull - mid boost - adds low mids and bottom end
PrePIMV - Cascading Gain Channels simply sound better with PrePIMV - Classic.
