Pedal sound like jcm800

Re: Pedal sound like jcm800

And then the new ultrahardcoremegaplexi800jcmblah blah more better ...better...bestest...more real components...due bypass mojo pots, voodoo parts induced special optics...well.....
And in the end the amp and speakers decides if it is really is something!

Lol haha Rid ffs :D

The Jackhammer is pretty good. Mine that is modded though is the best JCM800 in a box I have tried so far :)

But like Rid says its the amp that sets the pace.

The Jackhammer in direct recording sounds very good, clarity is preserved etc.

Jackhammer infront of my ENGL Screamer on the other hand, is just mud and they just dont work together

LOL....feel better now, Niels? that sounded like something that's been buildin' up for some time now....:earl: ....lol J/K!!

But seriously, I'm a big fan of the CM Plexitone that holds the #1 spot on my board for boost/dist especially when I play with humbuckers. I use my TS-9, when playing Strat single coils, for the tone I like. Whether playing through a Marshall head or a Fender blackface, the Plexi really produces some seriously sweet but powerful crunched up distortion or some primo cleans with all the classic Marshall sound. It increases sustain to a point where it trails off into a cloud of feedback with a little crank of the volume knob.

BUT, with all this talk about Jackhammer's and Crunchbox's I find I have just felt one of those old familiar pains I feel after reading some reviews on stuff like the ones in this thread.

g.a.s. anyone?

LOL naah I dont blame him.. You should see the guys here in Denmark. If it isnt from Fulltone, T-rex or some other "boutique" builder with true bypass etc it obviously sucks all your tone and cannot sound good.

Re: Pedal sound like jcm800

Hehe well the homemarket is so small, that it is hardly of any value to us!
We would certanly not survive here at home...well if we where only one man;)
Our market is the export one...
As for Marshall sounding pedals, they come in plenty..hehe

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 ;)

Exactly. Thats the mistake i made when buying my 2203, when I got it home, I was initially disappointed at the amount of gain and agression to it, until I learned where its strengths lie, and how to get the best from it with pedals. Now I couldnt be happier.

I'm assuming the tone you are after is that of a pushed or "kicked in the nuts" JCM800. In which case, I can highly reccomend that plexitone, or the EHX Metal muff. Its got good EQ, and some nice Marshall-esque hair on it. Of course, I only have experience with using these pedals through a JCM 800 circuit, so its going to sound more like a JCM 800 than it would through something else.
