on saturday we are playing in a small club(max 100-120 capacity) and the problem is that they are using a marshall jcm900 higain dual reverb head.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apart from the fact that i don't like that amp my problem is how am i going to get a decent sound(distortion guise) out of 100watts in a small place.Jcm900 are fizzy sounding even at high volume levels.....so imagine how it will sound if i use it in less than half the way up.I don't use any distortion pedals(and i do not own any) before the amp and i like to get my distortion from the amp.....So is there a way i can use it in a lower volume setting and get a decent distortion sound???(i remember last time i have used a jcm900 i turned the treble knob at a setting of 2...!!!!!!!!!!).I cannot carry my own amp and we do not have powerbrakes e.t.c.From what i know the jcm900(the 100watt version) has a switch that lowers the output at 50watts......is this going to help?Any other tips????
