If your JCM2000 is pre-2005 and you are experiencing issues, contact Desert Amplifier Repair for options on getting your amplifier serviced. Both options have proven to give the same successful results. This involves removing the card, destructively modifying some of the traces, and then repopulating a large number of components. The other option is to modify the card to perform correctly.

Marshall offers a full card replacement now that is corrected and populated with higher heat resistant components. If you have a Pre-2005 JCM2000, you have a couple options to remedy the drift issue. Once the amplifier is shut off and cools down, it returns to normal and the cycle repeats itself the next time itвЂ™s played. It often takes well over an hour of solid playing at gig levels before the heat can build up enough to cause an issue. Many times, if only played for a short amount of time, the issue is never noticed. It has been known to cause them to take more current then they can handle and cause red plating, which can result in tube failure and potentially costly repairs if left untreated. This results in the voltages shifting and forcing the output tubesвЂ™ bias point to shift off target, oftentimes causingВ the tubes to shut off. As the components start to heat up, they drift causing audible volume changes that are caused by the components as they drift in value. The longer the amplifier is played, the more the heat builds up. The issue that causes the bias to drift is related to several factors: The type of components (resistors) that were used to populate the board and how they respond to heat, and the routing of power traces near sensitive components. ItвЂ™s been discussed at length on countless fan forums and since around mid-2004 the issue was resolved in manufacturing by Marshall. The early versions of the JCM2000 were prone to an issue that has been coined the вЂњbias driftвЂќ issue. Both models offer 100W (watt) and 50W versions, available as a head or combo. The Marshall JCM2000 has been released in several configurations: the Dual Super Lead and the Triple Super Lead.
