Out of all the heads youve heard, which sounds the most like a JCM800-2203 ?

I have looked around at heads for sale and often heard claims of it being close to a "jcm800" or "has the jcm800 sound" ... "nails the jcm800 tone" ect ect ect in the ads.... anyways, i was wondering, out of all the heads you guys have played which would you say has "that jcm800 sound" the most?

Yeah, not much sounds like an early '80s 2203/4, but I hear the JVM gets pretty close.

i have a JVM combo and on the "green" crunch setting, it is almost spot on.
