Contemplating trading my '800 for a JMD-1

[SkinnyJ]

I'm still going the Voodoo modded JMP-1 midi preamp route if I can ever find one that isn't in the diamond encrusted,gold plated,super high on crack price range.

Check your PMs

I've also toyed with running my MP-1 into the low channel of my '800, buy my MP-1 is kind of old and quirky.

Being an owner of both (800 and JMD) I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt the JMD is absolutely killer...playing a show tonight...JMD and a 2x12 are what Im carrying

Got to this thread a bit late, shame you missed that JMD - Is it the best Marshall of the last few years ?

Gets my vote !

I would absolutely have to agree. If for some reason I had to get rid of gear tomorrow and only keep one of my amps...that would be the one.

Don't be... the JMD's power section are good ole' EL34's... Even the pre-amp section has a 12AX7 that drives the digital modeling section.

Actualy...the 12AX7 is part of the power section...its the phase inverter

I played through one before, it sounded pretty damn good. I was contemplating the same thing actually, and I too have a JCM 800. The effects were pretty clean sounding and clear as well. I thought there was a plexi/super lead selection, I'm pretty sure that's one of the settings I used.

The preamp is digital and the power section has EL34s, so to get true tube tone you must have to crank it.

Have you looked into the older blue series Vox Valvetronix amps? They go for cheap and they actually sound really good and have very warm tube like tone.

I have gigged with my AD120 stereo head and I also have the 60W 1X12 combo version. The built in FX on them are amazing.
