Anybody gone back to just a Marshall (plexi/800) and a pedal

[mightywarlock]

I am now playing just my Friedman Modded '76 JMP100 Superlead. Bogner Cab. Bogner Uberkab. Noise gate and tuner pedals. Wireless. guitar.

All I need.

Yup, 1st time I played my ceriatone 1987/tubescreamer I knew that was exactly what I was looking for. Now I got a 1959 Marshall reissue from 1999 Also. I made my egnater seminar back to stock jcm800 and use that with a tubescreamer for live since its got a master volume. I would like to get an 18-25 Watt nmv amp for live.

great tone on those youtube videos Darren, congrats!
what delay pedal do you use live? does it go in front of the amp?
cheers!

thanks man! with my plexi I use that ibanez soundtank delay - cheapo with the blue lable on it. I use a true bypass box. it goes after my Tubescreamer - I just use a hint of delay. In those video's that's a digidesign standard plugin delay.

I've been looking for a pedal to use with my Metro Plexi,and it's come down to a HBE Doomsday device and an Amptweaker Tight Metal pedal,and i wish i could try them both out on my stuff.

However i'm really looking forward to it.

I still have an early 80's 2203 w/6550's and yeah. Whenever I go back to it and throw an Boss SD1 and GE7 in front of it it brings a smile to my face I need a cap job tho

Same here with my JMP 2203. Been trying different pedals to keep it interesting, besides SD-1. Freakshow brown rabbit and HBE powerscreamer as of lately--give it just enough hair for my taste.

If that's all you need, you sure have a big ass collection of stuff you don't need.

BTW, the vid you posted of the Friedman sounded sweet.

Never left it even though i tried a few mods back in the 80's which never cut it in a live situation. plus they never clean up the way you need them too with just using a volume on your guitar. guitar > od > amp. Somtimes no pedal with a stock Marshall amp cranked up for recording is the best sound.

A stock Marshall feels great to play on. You really hear it when recording.
A mod may be nice for a certain tone, but say goodbye to the nice feel that it had when it was stock, the way it reacted with the guitar's volume when rolled down.
I'd rather use a pedal than mess with an old Marshall inside. With a 70's JMP or an 80's 800 there is nothing to fix.

Couldn't have said it better bro.

Stock JCM800 2204 50-watter with a Barber Direct Drive in front.....that's all folks!

 

[splawner]

I have played every modded Marshall and amp out there........For me it is a Stock 1979 JMP Marshall with a boost and that is the best tone period for me.......Rips

 

[goldwing68nv]

yep,me too...have owned and/or tried all the "big boys" modded marshalls and my stock 800 2204 boosted with my BBE Green Screamer still "does it all" for me.

Hey it's my first post here

im probably gettting a ceriatone jcm 800 and some pedal to go along with it, i cant wait for it! im probably going to go with a green rhino, the demos on the Tube are nice.

Cheers

No doubt about it my jmp with a boost can run with just about any modded marshall amp. Couple it with a great 4-12 cab and your set. The only thing I miss is a loop, I have metro loop for it but I'm not sure I want to drill the chassis yet as it is so clean. I'lll probably cave in and drill the mofo.

 

[Shiny_Surface]

One of the best sounds ever imo.

I am going that way..."sort of"
I am looking to go back to a modded marshall, but also get a 70's 50 watter... I started running stereo thru a VHT 2/90/2... I am thinking of cranking the marshall to get the goods (using a weber mass 150 for the load)... but use the VHT for the volume...
