what effects do this?

I like to get most of the gain from the amp, however the JMP I think the ultimate amp, and I was wondering if effects could get to brutal distortion levels

not the ultra modern high gain - think old school brutal distortion
 
Just put a nice OD in front set to high level, low gain, and crank the tone control up. You can get a great high gain sound this way, even with the pre gain at about 1:00.
 
This is not a great representation, as I was using my full driveII, and not my max on. Also my iPhone mic was getting destroyed with the amp on 2, and I haven't played metal in over two years... But it gives you an idea of what it can do with a clean boost and a set of hot pups.


 
An OD pedal as a boost will make any pushed overdrive tone sound brutal.
 
I'm running a Maxon OD-9 with the level cranked, gain off, and tone at noon. Also a Boss 7 band graphic eq basically set up like a frown with the level flat. They're going into a '79 JMP and it sounds absolutely monstrous. It sounds great with the OD-9 only, but the 7 band kicks it up to the next level and it actually tightens it up a bit. It's not even that noisy. At band levels I'll just slightly turn the guitar volume back for stops and it's quiet as a mouse. It makes me laugh to think that all of these components were available in '79 and it sounds this fucking heavy. Try it. :thumbsup:
