Pedal to boost Marshall Jubilee.

[smiffy86]

Hey guys,

Got a Marshall Jubilee stack which I love to bits, but would like a pedal to boost the lead channel more and saturate the tone a bit too. I've been looking at the dytone pedals, Keeley and Fulltone ones. I'd still like to keep note clarity but with more balls and juice. Also might use the pedal on the clean channel for different od textures but mainly for the solo boost. Any suggestions would be great.

Cheers,

Anthony.

Re: Pedal to boost Marshall Jubilee.

Jubilees have a good amount of preamp gain going for them, so I like linear clean boost OD's that are as fat as possible, to beef up the signal. You don't want to use a Tubescreamer type OD, because that's already what's in the amp, essentially. I have a 2550 fullsize 50W head and the 2 matching cabs, which you can see on page 2 of my gear page. Back in 87, I bought my first high quality amp, a 2555 100W, so I'm very familiar with them. Nowadays, I use my Bogner, but I still love the Jubilee for what it does.

I'd recomment waiting a few weeks and getting the new Duncan SFX-3 Twin Tube Classic OD. I'm almost certain that pedal with be killer with a Jubilee.
I've gotten great tones using a Banzai Coldfusion or New Rising Sun, Klon Centaur, Fulltone OCD or Fatboost. Mainly, just stay away from OD's that make the signal buzzy, compressed, or thinner than unison. You want a pedal that is wide open and isn't some sort of mix of buzz/clean.

Seems like a Boss DS-1 would be a good one too. Satriani and Vai have both used the DS-1 with thier Marshalls. When I use my DS-1's, I like to set the distorion fairly low and use the level and tone control moslty. Lew

Re: Pedal to boost Marshall Jubilee.

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I will go for the clean boost to just fatten it up, thats more what I was looking for, not a grittier tone. The Klon is out of my price range at the moment so i'm going to check around some more reviews, think ill end up with a fulltone or dytone.

Cheers!

I have a stock DS1 which never quite thrills me.

I have had amazing results with my OCD, however - ANY OPINIONS on whether or not to use an OCD with HP or LP mode? How do you set yours?

Try a digitech Bad Monkey. Seriously, it's a great pedal and cheap too. Works great as a clean boost, or adding some grit to a cleaner tone as well.

I agree with Lew on this one. The DS-1s that are used by Satriani and Vai are modded by Robert Keely. The Keely DS-1 is more transparent than stock which really shows thru when you use it as Lew suggested. I have heard people say that the Keely modded DS-1 is like a JCM800 in a box. I use the settings that Lew suggested and couldn't be happier.
