is it the reiusse because my reiusse is more than fine and is quite as a mouse...do you have both tabs pushed in?
Marshall JCM 800
Hey my JCM 800 sounds a bit noisy in the effects loop, like a hissing sound when i put my delay in, and the delay is fine, not noisy at all on my JCM 900. The JCM 800 doesnt have an effects loop level control for some reason. Are the 800s usually noisy in the loop or is this just mine?

No its not the re issue, its about 20 years old, used to belong to a band called Blonde in the 80's from England.
The old ones never had loops. (IIRC) only the reissues.
Its been modified.
I'd have a tech look at it, make sure it was done correctly.

no its not modified, its the split channel, and they did have loops, dunno where you got that idea from, check your resources
it's a 2310..i think ...it's the one that has two channels and a loop..get a tech to hav a work over it..
Oh! its a split channel, I see.Ant1981 said:no its not modified, its the split channel, and they did have loops, dunno where you got that idea from, check your resources
The old 2203's(100w) and 2204's (50w) DIDN'T have FX Loops.
The split channel amps did have FX loops.(The 100w version was the 2210, the 50w version was the 2205)
probably a bad preamp tube.??... i think the effects loop is probably in the tube path
Didn't the later models, the 2205 and 2210 have an effects loop? I think they did but I am not sure - I keep forgetting.Gex said:The old ones never had loops. (IIRC) only the reissues.

Edit: I've been beaten!
But yeah I would take that to a tech. Could have a bad capacitor or something that is not getting power and making noise.
This is also what I was thinking.honky_tonk said:probably a bad preamp tube.??... i think the effects loop is probably in the tube path
Id rotate the tubes around, or replace them if youve got some extras. (or "Borrow" the ones from your JCM 900 real quick, just to see if thats the problem)
If nothing else works, just get a good noise gate and put it in the loop, that'll quiet it down nicely.
Maybe I should get it re vavled, wish I knew how to bias it myself, I could do it, being an electrician i've got the sense to do it, just need to know what to do to the amp.
The effects loop on Marshalls has always been solid state.Gex said:This is also what I was thinking.

Hmm, than that probably isnt the problem!
Taking it to a tech sounds like a good idea
