Standard JCM800 vertical input configuration from the early era. Hi and Lo gain input. I had Nik add a buffered effects loop on mine.

Amp arrived and i played it lower volumes for several hours, which was hard cause it sounds so great. Very quiet and beautiful wiring job. I play mainly classic thru 90's metal, and if you need more it's easy to throw a OD pedal in front for more modern gain. I'm using JJ EL34 and a balanced 12AX7 for the PI and a higher gain 12AX7 in V1. This amp can do it all. AC/DC, Maiden, Priest, the list goes on. It also does blues sounds very well and sounds very warm thru the low input as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. Save yourself a lot of money and check these out. I've used a Strat S/S/S and many other humbucker guitars from vintage pickups to modern active.

Nik was very helpful all along the way thru the purchase and promptly answered all of my questions. It took 3 days once it was done to get it. Don't be put off they are in Malaysia, I got better service from them than I have gotten from vendors here in the states. They want your business and make an outstanding product.
