I had a KK, a brutal amplifier. I bought it for 850 Euros. I sold it because I lived in an apartment with nervous neighbors and it played poorly through the attenuator. Now the prices are more than double and I'd probably rather try something else.

It's not that much about the budget, despite of 2203's are "overpriced" here in Europe, compared to other Marshalls. I didn't want to put the 2203 in the poll, as I'm interested in opinions on other models.

I played 2205 35 years ago :D and I remember it being a hell of an amp, when cranked.

Umm, right now I have a mix of K100 and Redbacks in my Marshall MF400 cab (oversized) and to be honest, I think it has too much of low end for bass heavy amps (Rivera KH Tre, Engl Petrozza). I prefer to play that Engl thru 212 with Celestion EVH speakers, it sounds fantastic, thru MF400 it's too...

JVM is one of candidates. It's versatile and I like versatile amps. Despite of I usually use just one channel and one knob setting :). I probably would have bought it a long time ago, but I had the opportunity to directly compare it with my JCM800 Kerry King sig and a friend's DSL100H. Kery King...

No JMP :). 2210 (100W) and 2205 (50W) are Lead Series, 2 channels.

After a long time without a Marshall, I am considering buying one. JCM800 2203 would be an obvious choice, but at the moment the prices are on the verge of a long-term headache considering the current lack of time and playing several times a month. Besides, I already had it and would like to try...

Umm

@DC5150 Cab impedance is kind of hidden behind the attenuator's resistors, so using 4-16 Ohm cab on 8 Ohm Captor is completely ok. I would say, 8 Ohm loader is the best choice for attenuating miscellaneous cabs.

You can use 8Ohm output from your head to captor 8. Then you can connect 16Ohm cab to the ATTENUATED output without worries. I believe, you can also use Through output, but then you have to use 16Ohm output from the head. For recourding you can use line out jack, or XLR with Off switch, to be...

Bugeras - all of them. More or less emotionally, you know, Bugera... Mesa Triaxis, Mesa Recording preamp EVH LBX I - very loud and not loud enough at the same time, soundwise great EVH 5150 III 50W 6L6 - not bad, but I expected more, it was literally buried by Engl Petrozza. The guy who...

Rectifier Recording Preamp. I bought it and sold it almost immediately. I was not impressed by the sound. But I'm not friends with the Mesas. IMHO, Engl E530 or Peavey Rockmaster, much better.

Graspop in Belgium? Band?

But as it looks, the Main jack can be a standard, non-switching jack with just Tip and Sleeve contacts, right? Yes, of course Also, I wonder if another loop between the T and S on the switching side of the Slave/Extension jack is necessary or even helpful, since when the Extension is not in...

@Speeddemon Of course, you can use any jack with a switching contact. My nice drawing here below :)

You can solve this easily by using switched jack. I have found this schematic and modified it for your required wiring of two 16Ohm speakers in one cab. You must use upper jack to connect the first cab to the amp. Lower jack is for connecting the slave/extension. In that case don't forget to use...

Could be this one, but from the one pic I am not sure: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/c-k/7201MD9AV2QE/483848?s=N4IgTCBcDaIMIGkByBGALAdgGwFokBEQBdAXyA

You know, voltage dividers are willing to work equally well with AC and DC voltages ;). Your wiring just adds serial resistance to the input resistance of the next stage, so it works to some extent, with few drawbacks. However, unconnected terminal on the pot is generally a bad practice. If you...

I don't know, what preamps you use. However, output impedance of any preamp should be quite low. So lower impedance pot should be ok. But in general, anything from 10k up should work fine. I would use audio taper.

Ok, ok, but it's really a bit confusing that amp is working harder to get higher level signal into the preamp :)
