Try an Ibanez TubeScreamer TS-808 in front of the amp, and don't set pre-amp to max, instead, set Pre-Amp Vol. around 1.5 or 2 and set the Master Vol. around 5-7.
SH, if both (50 and 100 watt head) set at the same low volume, a 50 watt head would have better crunch tone?
I don't plan to gig with this head, as mainly I'm just a home player guy, so I don't need loudness, what I need is the tone at home level playing range.
I was thinking to get an...
I order both 50 and 100 watt, but I'll have to choose one when it's ready to be picked up.
I tried a 50 watt before, never a 100 watt one.
I wonder how different are they?
Okay guys, now I AM crazy!! :rofl:
One head will be at my home soon! :thumb:

Okay, I have decided to pull the trigger and get a Vintage Modern head today.
I have ordered both 50 and 100 watt heads, I'll choose one when it's ready to be picked up (probably in 1 or 2 days). :fingersx:
Please recommend which watt should I go with, 50 or 100 watt?
I'd probably get one sooner or later.
It's growing on me.
I just tested again last night, but this time was different, I like the tone of it, very rich on low-end, but again yesterday was so quite in the store, so can't turn the MV above 1 :rofl:
That's the least you wanna do with that 2203.
I do have an '81 2204, it's all original no mods.
If I were to add an effect loop, I'd get a Vintage Modern head for it and leave the 2204 as is. (Hopefully soon :fingersx:)
Rypsolisti, you have exactly what I have in mind right now, either a JMP or a VM, but not quite though, since you're looking for a 100 watt JMP. Mine is '81 50 watt JMP head.
MKB is totally right, you need a boost pedal on a JMP to get the gain, unless you're able to crank it out loud, then you...
Now I'm still digging about that VM.
If I bought one, that because of you, got brain-washed. :rofl:
But I'm sure I won't be disappointed.
What are the volume settings on your VM when you play it?
I had mine Master Vol 7, Pre-Amp Vol 1. That's it no more than that or cops would bust into my...
No pedals in front of the VM?
I have to boost my JMP with a TS-808, then the Slash tone is nailed. :rofl:
I'll wait until I'm lucky enough to get an attenuator, then crank it up, and take out the TS-808.
