Might be a big question to ask, but is there anything decent "Marshally" sound pedal for a $100? Maybe $150? Looking for more of a JCM800 tone.
It be nice if was true bypass too....

Not really to many pure JCM800's in a box at that price range.
For Pure JCM800-in-a-box sounds, youll need to spend 200.00.( Wampler Plextortion,Vintage Marshall Guv'nor,DC only powered Radial British Tonebones)
Most of the pedals in your price range would be "Hot Rod" JCM Marshall" pedals, like the Powergrid, or MI Crunchbox(theres some overlap in stock/hotrod sounds, so you should just tone of those).Last edited by MetalManiac; 11-03-2012, 11:26 PM."Anyone who understands Jazz knows that you can't understand it.

Crunchbox, I got mine for $80 used. I sold it when I got a more marshally amp but it was a great pedal. It doesn't do the old school marshall stuff well but it is really nice for JCM800 style stuff.Originally posted by Good Will HuntingComment

If you can build kits, then General Guitar Gadgets has 3 marshall in a box pedals....the bluesbreaker clone, the Guv'nor, and 'Brown Sound In a Box'. The former two are fantastic as I own them and they'll stand alongside boutique pedals. The BSIAB I'll be getting and making soon.Comment

Ive never heard any clone that can touch a real vintage Marshall Bluesbreakers dynamics ,richness ,and depth.Originally posted by AlexR View Post
Ive got all the old Marshall pedals. Even at thier current 150-175.00 price, they are a steal.
Gary Moore used the amazing Guv'nor. Thats the one thats like the JCM-800, and not the Bluesebreaker, which has more of a organic tweed like character.
The Bluesbreaker is the mother of all pedals; the twin spawn of the Tubscreamer. many if not most pedals are deriviatives of these two pedals. The King of Tone is supposedly a tweaked Bluesbreaker...and compared/contrasted all over Analogmans website as 'different" than a tubescreamer.Last edited by MetalManiac; 11-03-2012, 10:56 PM."Anyone who understands Jazz knows that you can't understand it.

Alot of the Wampler stuff is awesome (also not exactly a JCM800 but the Wampler Sovereign is GREAT!), CMAT Mods Brownie, or MI Audio Crunch Box. But I highly recommend Wampler!Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Psalm 100:1Comment

For under $100 the Crunch Box for sure or if you can find one a John Spina modded DS-1. If you can swing it for around $150 used there's the Wampler Plextortion and Pinnacle. I wouldn't call the Pinnacle a JCM 800 in a box but it is killer hot rodded Marshall Plexi in a box for sureWhen asking for pickup suggestions please tell us what amp you`re usingComment

I would look at some of the Joyo stuff, they are great pedals on a budget. A US Dream, Ultimate Crunch, Hot Plexi or British Sound might be able to do what you want.Go Packers!Comment

Modded DS-1, Shredmaster (if you look maybe you could find one 2nd hand or a kit built one), Crunchbox (or chinese clones), Chinese clones of character series pedals (Joyo British something), Guv'nor.Comment
