Putting the feelers out as 1/2 and 1/2 about just keeing this beast. Don't use it a huge amount as I'm no longer gigging but I've put off selling it as it's a very special sounding amp!

Price wise I think this is worth say £2750 all day long given the increasing price of good JCM platforms and how well respected Dan's work is. Can ship for free.

More specs:

1984 Marshall JCM 800 2203 100 watt guitar amp. Modified to Killer Kali ++ spec with extra foot switchable clean channel by Dan Gower of DG Amps in November 2014 at a very big cost! Brand new filter caps throughout. All valves tested at the same time. Occasional use since. 

Amp was originally a very clean and 100% stock 1981 vertical-input Marshall JCM 800. 100 watt version. I bought it and sent it off to Dan Gower for modding to Killer Kali ++ Spec. I also opted for the extra clean channel to be added. I also opted due to the age of the amp to have all filter caps replaced.

Sounds huge, super aggressive and articulate, tons of gain on tap and huge roaring midrange. Extremely fun to play! And the Clean channel is really lush and rich sounding, lots of harmonic content and detail in the top end. Due to the mods and the extra clean channel it's like having a Modded Marshall and a Fender Twin all combined inside one amp.

FEATURES INCLUDED WITH THE KILLER KALI++ MOD :

Extra 12ax7 tube added for 4 gain stages
Switchable High/Low Gain modes with shared EQ
Dual Gain Controls with push/pull ‘Bright’ switches
Master Volume
Feel Control (adjust the feel from tight/articulate to fat/spongy)
Violence Control (Gain boost control for the high gain mode)
Depth Control
Regulated DC Heater supply for the absolute lowest noise floor

PLUS:

Foot-switchable Clean Channel
Independent Clean Channel with it's own Volume/Bass/Mid/Treble controls. Super lush sounding clean tones!

    I have an identical Killer Kali ++ (save that it's based on an 83 800).  The best hard rock and metal amp ever made.  GLWTS.

  • Yeah, they are absolutely incredible, but I hate to say it - my Kemper gets more airtime as I’m not gigging anymore! 

    The Gower JcM’s are incredible though - I actually ended up keeping this over a Soldano SLO that I had at the time time - the Gower is THAT good, but it barely gets used.

  • No longer for sale at the moment as my Kemper has decided to play up so I need to keep this for now. 

    Above buyer did buy via ebay but I instantly refunded as I didn’t have a chance to take the listing down.
