JCM 800?

Hi
OK, I know this is the amp that becomes the jcm800, but is it the same circuit in a different headbox? Basically my question is, is the tone of this amp that same buzzy, harsh, high gain chainsaw(I know that some will disagree, no offense, to each his own) that I got from my 2203x? Is it good for anything but 80s hair metal? or can it be toned down to get a less compressed, rocknroll/70s punk grit. Basically a 100 watt plexi with low volume at 9 oclock and hi input at 1 oclock is the amount of gain, or a little less, that I'm looking for. Sorry its friday and its early and I cant concentrate at work when Im trying to decide which kit to build because Im completely obsessed with this stuff!!
