The late 70s Marshall JMP mastervolumes and the Marshall plexis?
Right now I have a JMP and it seems a little bright and if I had a lot more money I probably would have gotten a plexi seeing how most or all of my favorite artists get a nice tone from them and I wanted something similar so I tried and got the JMP and I like it but do plexis sound just as bright? I think they have different tube setups as well, would that make a difference? Is there any other parts that would be better in a plexi that a JMP wouldnt have like transformers, ect, if so would it be possible to buy some of those MM transformers and put them in the JMP without doing any mods? Im thinking of changing my cabs grill cloth to basketweave to help get rid of some of the brightness? Another thing is I dont use a lot of pedals, I have 1 eq to boost the front end of the amp, so when you listen to other artists play from similar amps do you think they got rid of some brightness by using more pedals? This is my first "real" amp so maybe I just noticed some brightness because I wasnt used to it, if anyone else has heard a JMP do they sound bright to you, or brighter than a plexi?
