MARSHALL Question: JMP or 800 with pedal or Modded marshall

Along the same lines...50 watt vs 100 watt....
what is the biggest "tone" difference?

That Barber DD is high on my "check it out" list. How would you compare it to a tube screamer type? Better yet, I think it has similar controls or eq to the bad monkey which is currently on my board and refuses to be kicked off.. have you compared the two? At the end of the day do i notice differences in OD's "that" much? No.. but i do notice something and right now for me, the bad monkey beat out RC, BB,SD-1, my modded YJM 308 to grey specs, EQ pedals, and a boutique clean boost. Still though, there is always that maybe something out there thought that is usually associated with gear addiction that creeps in.

What speakers are in that clip with the VM by the way?

Well before the BBD I was using a Keeley SD-1. The BBD is warmer and more tube like. Plus it has 2 mini pots inside that allow you to adjust the bass and treb.

The cab is a Marshall 425A which has greenies

MARSHALL Question: JMP or 800 with pedal or Modded marshall

Just curious what you prefer and why? also what pedal is the go to for the gain....

I have a ToneFreak Naked OD...sounds great in front of Marshalls...

I am leaning on just getting a 70's 50 watt JMP and running a pedal...

But the marsha/Friedman is knocking loudly....

Find you a JMP on ebay for $1200-$1500 and try it out stock with a pedal up front. If it needs more of something to suit you, get it modded for some EQ shift, resonance, bottom-end or additional gain. If you've not experimented, how would you know what you like?

I like 'em both ways, but I seem to play my modded ones more
