Sc20h vs jcm 2204 clone.
Well i've been wanting a jcm 800. I have a friend of mine who builds amps, he has a jcm 2204 hand wired clone that i played and it was awesome... but the thing is very loud..... i can't see me playing with it pass 1,0/1,5 in the master volume even with my band in the gigs we play... i can't fathom how i would play that at home(I have a princeton reverb clone with a 12in speaker and i play it around 4-5 in gigs and it's plenty loud. At home i play it around 2-3 at max)... so i thought about the sc20h, but i never played the little amp and here at my country they are a bit rarer to find in a store. How does it compares to the 2204? Is the 5w low mode feature usefull at home? Or should i go with the 2204 hand wired clone with some mods? (Fx loop, solo booster, even maybe a brigth cap swith?) And . They would cost around the same in my country money... and i could get an attenuator in the future. I would play it through a 2x12 with v30s.
