Gustabo,
Thanks a lot man. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I have been tearing it up with this amp. I love it !!!
As I mentioned in my first post, it has a nice grit and it is some what close to a JCM800. not exact, but deff some of the same overtones, harmonic distortion.
I own quite a few Marshalls myself, I have a really cool collection of 1980's Marshall solid state amps as well
(like the 5210, Lead 12 mini stack, lead 12 combo, bass 20, master lead 30).
These JCA20's are cool little amps, like you mentioned though, need to tame the ice pick/fizz.
Im sure using a Vintage 30 isn't helping either :-)
When I use my Celestion G12 Greenback the fizz is much easier on the ears.
