82 Lead 800 TS Mod
Inspired by Marshall JCM800 (TS Mod)
The model 82 Lead 800 TS Mod is a modified version of the classic Lead 800, designed to offer:
- I play more warm and defined on medium and high frequencies
- Full saturation with excellent sustain
- Ideal for rock, hard rock, blues and melodic leads
Compared to the standard Lead 800, the TS Mod version emphasizes clarity and frequency cut, optimizing the sound for Tube Screamer-type overdrive or input boost.
