    Would the 50 w 800 give a 65 twin a run for it's money in the VOLUME dept?

    I guess I am talking about the lo input channel on the Marshall.....can it shift some air like the 65 twin? 

    Yes - depending on the cabinet. Through an efficient 4x12" the 2204 might actually be louder.

    even in a 1x12 combo the 50w 800 is VERY loud, i can;t get mine over 3 without everyone else moaning at me to turn it down

    It’s not a million miles away. The audience would not know the difference.
    that said, i’d sell my jubilee in a heartbeat if there was a mini 2203.

    What is the LOUDEST (most efficient?) speaker for a 4010 combo that you can think of that is well suited for the rock sound ?

    Would that fit inside a 4010 and be "compatible" with the r & r vibe?

    My JCM800 2203 full stack (70's Orange cab underneath) and my Gordon Smith GSII and Jap Fender 50's Strat (E Series) in my bedroom, 1988


    ...and on stage in 1989


    The best amp I ever owned and would still, in fact after this thread and finding those photos I probably will again.

    Yes, it will fit. Plenty of room around the speaker in these.

    And, Zakk Wylde...

    ;)

    If you want one there’s an old one in Strung Out Guitars just now that comes with a (nearly) free Crate 160W amp :).

    My Mini Jubilee combo is for sale if you want something similar but modernised  won't have the same clean headroom though but it actually has really nice cleans/edge of breakup tones.
