    Re: Pedal sound like jcm800

    1. A stock JCM 800 is not a very aggressive amp by todays standards, nor were they ever really meant to be ultra high gain. Where they excel is in dynamics and headroom. But without a "kick in the nuts" they´re actually pretty tame.

    2. No, such a pedal does not exist AFAIK, or I´d be using it instead of my head and 4x12 for quieter settings

      I seem to recall that Marshall "Jackhammer" pedal reminded me a lot of 800 tone... Not that I ever owned one, and it would have been running through my Marshall...

        M.I. Audio Crunchbox will do a good job at Marshall tones.

          Don't be fooled by the name - it has plenty of aggression on tap!

                Ya i was shocked how clean my JCM800 is and it has had a gain mod!!! My favourite player that uses a JCM 800 is Canadian Kim Mitchell and he pushes his with a Boss Blues Driver and a Boss Compressor here and there as well as a Chorus and sometimes delay. All his stuff is stock and the JCM 800 50 watter goes into a 4x12 with greenbacks..

                In the course of a show he gets extreme solos, nice cleans, and spacey sounds.... And his rythym crunch is nice.... I hope to get the same sounds oneday... i have the strat with PAF like humbuckers and an old 50 watt 800.... now i need the cab and turn my 800 back to stock

                    I've never heard a Plexitone, but the most Marshall-like pedal I've ever heard was a modded BOSS DS-1.

                      I use 3 pedals that can coax a pretty decent "kinda 800 tone"......Marshall Jackhammer,CM Plexitone,and my own modded DS1.....The JH does it pretty well and is a pedal reasonably priced....The DS1 is ok,but at times seems just a bit fuzzy at higher drive settings,but not too shabby for a modded $40 pedal..

                      I get great tone and incredible sustain with my Plexitone,but it's pricier,but you get what you pay for!

                        +1 on the MI Audio Crunch Box.
                        it has that aggressive marshall character.
                        great little dist box -- reasonablably priced too, so it won't hurt to try it!

                          A Carl Martin Plexitone will totally get you where you want to go. In fact I have one for sale right now. I'm only selling it because I need money to get my Vibrolux Reverb out of the store (it's on layaway). This pedal rocks!http://cgi.ebay.com/Carl-Martin-Plex...QQcmdZViewItem

                              Well the Crush Zone we make is an aggresive Brit voiced disto.....the Plexi is more oldschool.
