So what do you want to know?
For those of us that have built a bunch of JCM800's and it's many variants, this isn't anything new.
There's alot of tweaking you can do to that circuit, I usually use a relay to switch between the high and low inputs and make the gain of the high input adjustable.

I want my jcm800 Preamp with considerable gain and wonders whether these changes have I done, leave the preamp with more profit.

no. he's using a translator. words for "gain" and "profit" can be the same in portuguese, it's a translator error.

For a "more gain" 2204 type circuit, check out the ax84 High Octane.

My peavey Windsor is supposedly a jcm 800 clone.  While i never sat down and compared the two schems, we A/B'd it with a really hot JCM 800 and it sounded like a (dare i say it) better version of the 800.  If you PM me your email i might be able to hook you up with the Windsor preamp schematic.

That's what I was going to say.  Or the SEL.  An SEL with a KT77 sounds awesome.

  Thanks for clearing that up. I feel kind of dumb. So be it.

The quickest way is to bypass V1a's 10k cathode resistor with another 10k/cap combination....make it switchable and you have an awesome boost!
