JCM 8000
here we go.....clash of the 80ies titans
I haven't spent much time with the 2210 yet, so these tones might not be the optimum (the two gain pots influence each other and the tone quite a bit), but from what I can tell so far:
The 2203 is bigger and more open sounding, it somehow breathes more and is more "in your face", more direct...
the max gain when slightly boosted with a TS (on these clips the drive was set to 9:00 and the level was set to 1:00) is sufficient for most styles of metal, the voicing is perfect for thrash...the preamp gain on this clip was on 4:00.
2203
The 2210 has got more gain on tap (in these clip the preamp gain was around 3:30 and the gain around 2:00-2:30), the voicing is similar to the 2203...definitely JCM800, overall the tone is a bit darker and less open though, also it seems to be more mid-forward (settings on the EQ were very similar to the ones on the 2203...the presence on the 2210 clips was turned higher though). the distortion is far more compressed ans somewhat "squishy"sounding compared to the 2203. this might be great for sludgier suff etc, makes the amp sound a bit "smaller" than the 2203 though....ALTHOUGH this compression is great for leads!
for most rhythm stuff I'd probably go with the 2203 (a matter of taste), but I've got the feeling that the 2210 might have the best lead tones on this planet, this compressed juicy character really carries the tone and lets single-string-stuff sing like crazy.

Rectifiers
...and the kings of the 90ies
RevG Rectifier '93 this is my good old blackface dual...I'm loving this one....I've just retubed it with =C= in the powersection and is so PISSES all over its old self with JJ tubes (one of which was fucked how I found out the other day
)...
I'm loving this amp and I will never get rid of it.
RevG
The RevF Racktifier ('99 or 00 I think) was upgraded with Mercury Magnetics transformers and has Sovteks in the powersection...I think the RevG and RevF sound really similar...still both will find their use here in the studio and I'll never sell either one of them!
RevF
and once again it might be surprising for some how very similar an 800 and a Recto sound when played by the same player with the same guitar...as cheesy as "the tone is in the fingers" may sound, it's true!
enjoy and leave a comment
P.S.
this comparison is for the people who are interested in the difference between the different revisions etc, this are NOT sounds that fir everybody's taste...so if your comment will only be "I don't like either of them" just don't post anything at all...I'm not posting these comparisons to find out which member dislikes which kind of tones but for the intersted people to learn about the amps and to shed a light on some of the mojo and misinformation surrounding these amps
