Boost for Marshall JMP1 midi preamp

[faisalbaig]

Am quite pleased with the tones i get out of my JMP-1 preamp connected to a PV 5150 power amp section (Return).
However, going back and forth between the JMP1 and the 5150, JMP1 doesn't have the richness which the head does. i do not find it sterile or thin, i really like the tones, buts not so much smoother than the raw aggression and complexity of the 5150.

Live however, i wanna use the JMP1 only as the midi switching makes it easier to control my whole rig.
Was thinking of a good boost/OD pedal to go into the JMP-1. I'd use less gain on the JMP1 and boost with a pedal to see if i could get a richer lead tone.

Whats ur advice.
Cheers

I didn't use a boost with the JMP-1 back when I had it, but I spoke to a pro Finnish metal guitarist a while back about his rig and he said he uses the Boss SD-1 with it. Actually he said he uses the Boss with basically any amp or pre he uses. Hope that helps.

I have major memory loss from years of substance abuse. Just checked and i had posted a similar topic a while ago.
Found my answers there.

I tried boosting the JMP-1 and it didn't get any richer. My heads sounded better, more natural, so I got rid of it.

When i had mine, i used a TS9 for leads and it was pretty cool.

A trick well..not really a trick but...I use JMP-1's and have found that using both the main outs via a mono Y cable fills it out a bit....seems thicker that way
