I love my JCM. I've never played a SuperSonic. But I love Fender cleans. That's a tough choice.
I say, F50

So the new DSLs are.

that good, y'all? Hmmmm...
Speaker aside, yes.
I can only say that because I have well worn 1965A 4/10 cabinet. The amp sounds fantastic.
Like Dave said, it's worth a trip to GC to find out.

Hmmm, I didn't know they made a combo version of those channel-switching 800's.
I would hit that ALL DAY LONG. Screw the diodes, who cares?

If he is saying combos are gay, then I cup the balls with gusto. My hardwood Mrak IV gives me hard wood.

Drae buy a 2554 and win life.
I won't lie. It's one of the best amps I've ever owned.

Lol, a few years back, if anyone had tried to tell me I'd be following in the footsteps of Chuck Nutz/Ehud Olmert/Ricky Bobby/Ron Burgandy, I'd prolly have vomitted in amusement. Who'd'a thunk it?

Yeah, we're also missing Norton's and somebody else's posts praising the Fender Super Sonic combos. I just found Billy's announcement about moving to the new servers and it said some posts were in fact lost ~ the last "save" of the forums on the old servers was last night @ 8:45, I think.
But we remember, dammit ... we will always remember!
(Thank God this wasn't one of those old fashioned religious flame wars ... I'd've been apoplectic, lol!

To be fair I learned my Marshall love from Telephant so you can rest your mind
But seriously, it's a Jubilee in a 1x12 combo with an fx loop, ckean channel and a 50 watt power section. Takes pedals well, does leads well, has the Marshall crunch and a 1/2 power switch. All from the factory.
Is Joe Bonamassa or Slash ever wrong?

I like the Supersonic 22, seems like it would be a gig friendly piece of gear to me. It has everything I would want in a small, grab and go kind of way...reverb, two channels, not too heavy, loop, plus it sounds pretty good.

Good choice, Chris

Though if you want fatter, smoother and darker the 2554 will be a good choice. I had a 2205 and liked it a lot. (the 50 watt head version of the combo you posted) Nothing wrong with the 800 at all but tonally I personally prefer the Jube version. Ymmv

I prolly would too, tbh, Dave ... but a quick check of the likely price differential had me saying "800, me luv u long time!!!"

Honestly, I'd LOVE one of those silver faced Jube 1x12s, but I don't see one being likely unless someone goes temporarily insane and offers a stoopid deal on theirs ~ y'know, like you did w/ the Plex?

Really?? Dang. Right after I got mine I saw one on tgp for like $900. It was a black tolex model like mine and not the coolio silver version but whatevs. The 2555 satisfies the exclusive silver thing for me but the 2554 has more of a mid range honk.

Yeah, mang. I haven't looked very long or very seriously, but I didn't see any in the <$1K range, and most were like $13-1400.
So much as I'd like the Hoodoo & e-cred of having one, I may just keep my eye open for a "less desireable" (SHHH!!!

) model, gnome sane?

Oh shit, yeah if there is that much of a difference it's a no brainer. Dat 800 killed for me.
I was thinking the combos were roughly the same price. How much is a 2205 1x12 combo? (whatever that model is called)

Inorite? A clean channel that crunches, and a crunch channel that roars ... I can't think of a gig I couldn't play with that, esp. if I had a good od up front and a clean boost in the loop for solos. Not that I wouldn't also use a dozen pedals, but with a combo like that, I could quite comfortably play a whole show with just two.

Haven't checked. I just know the old cliche' about "get the one channel 800, the channel switchers have <dramatic GASP>
diodes!

Lol ... Well, I may not know tone, but I know what I like.

Y'know, as in "I may not know art, but I know what I like!"
