Meltdown your JCM800….what are you using?

[EyesOfTheSouth!]

I have a Morris UK78’ and I stumbled on this tonight. I had previously been using a Griffin 808 Screamer or Super Drive. This combo does exactly what I want for 80’s stuff.

PXO into SC20. Modulation as wanted.

I use a NUX XTC in front of my 2203/2204 build. Works very well.

Mostly simple classic stuff on my side;
main mid-size rig I usually drive around with a compact board:

What's been in the big rig rack (the higher gain OD on the 2nd shelf can rotate, had the DOD there at the time of the photo

And sometimes when traveling light it can be just one pedal, like for instance:

Nice to meat you ...

Grey spec modded YJM overdrive or JHS Bonsai because I get a few diff options on the switch. There are a few great settings on that one and i tend to go to the nobel setting, the JHS mod, or the OD-1.

Also fond of my Boss GE-10

A 2mm white tortex sharps guitar pick and my gorilla mitts. You should see the scorch marks on the input jacks of my amps.

A Griffin Analog Chiron (the rig talk edition), Boss SD-1, or an MXR 10 band eq.

Anything from @griff10672 on a pedal board is GOLD !!

so many things work, any TS derivative. I’m mainly using SD-1’s, also the Metal Zone Waza in waza mode is way cool too.

So many pedals work sooooo good with the 800. I have a bunch of double boosting favs for metal but the latest is a metal zone/Duncan805 or metal zone/wizard leopard. I have an empress heavy arriving, see how that is. Angry Charlie/Duncan805 is insanely good too, like stupid good.

A CAE liner driver into either an SD-1 or OD808, though some 2203/2204 amps seem hot enough on their own not to need the line driver.

I have often done light boost from OD into 800 and then clean boost ( Koko in my case) before OD as a lead boost. An 800 becomes an amp with 3 voicings... "channel switching"

I really like the Waza Boss SD-1, or one of my favorites is the Barber direct drive SS with the internal pots, a Ratt is pretty awesome as well. The Maxon OD-9 is cool as well if you are going for a little smoother drive.

I think the answer has already been stated here and in other threads, but with an 800, it really is a case of "ANY" and "ALL" pedals. It takes anything and everything. That's why most of us own 10+ OD's. At any time, you will go back to XYZ pedal and profess your love for it on this forum.. then within 6 months, you will buy something else. Pedal companies should thank Marshall for building a circuit that flatters just about any pedal.

I've always liked my old trusty Maxon OD808 for any amp I'm boosting. Second choice would be the SD-1.

This is one great way fo do it.
