Marshall JCM800 2204 preset
Verified · 91/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The JCM800 2204 is the 50-watt single-channel master-volume head that defined 1980s British rock tone. Cascaded ECC83 gain stages with a master volume after the tone stack let it overdrive at controllable volumes, and two EL34s give a tight low end and cutting midrange.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).
Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
