Please help tighten up my Jet City 22h

Thats what I would go with. I had a Keeley TS9 + mod. I ditched that for a Maxon OD808. Now I'm ditching the Maxon for the Dead Horse. I've alway been annoyed with how a ts type pedal would always lop off the low end. Love how it tightens the bass response, but don't steal my thunder.
 
change coupling caps between gain stages - change to smaller values. Check the caps across any cathode resistors - make those smaller too. If this makes no sense to you then don't even try it.

The SH6 is plenty tight and I'm sure a boost is all you need.

That Dead Horse pedal looks cool as hell. I can't seem to find demos besides Keith's though.

I'm backed up right now, but I'll do a demo when I catch up. It'll be a few weeks, sorry.
 
You can also accomplish this with a simple BOSS EQ pedal set fairly flat but with the 800s slightly boosted. Will tighten up the bottom end and make the OD more defined.

Really though, change speakers before you go modding the amp. As an owner of BOTH the JCA22H AND JCA24S the speaker difference alone will be massive. Personally, I think this amp sounds awesome stock and will most likely never mod mine. I played a rehearsal with the JCA22H through a Splawn 2x12 with Small Blocks and hung with a Mesa IIC++ into a 4x12, and I do the lead work. Remember, your speakers are pretty much the last thing your sound goes through before it hits your ears.

Alright, for sure check out different speakers! Im going to get that dead horse pedal soon.
 
Started a new thread with a different question. I hope it was the right thing to do :)
