Sweet.

That is very tempting.

Ironically I bought a virtually identical amp a week ago or I'd be grabbing this

How do you tame this beast without a master volume?

How do you tame this beast without a master volume?

Attenuators, it prolly takes like 9 or 10 to tame it

Without compromised tone?

You don't.

That's the beauty of it.
Actually, you can grab a BE OD or have Griff make you a clone, like he did for me...and, since these are distortion pedals the volume knob will act as a Master vol and will attenuate the signal. Without the 'squish' of an attenuator.

 

[alund]

Wait; you can crank the volume to taste then drop the OD (into input) to low and that’s that?

Dude I would buy it but it's not the Hermanson modded 52 stage gain , FJA , Moab unit . On a serious note ---Awesome head and GLWS !!!!!

[Bxlxaxkxe]

I boosted my jcm800zw with an Ibanez tone lock distortion pedal….worked fucking great ?

??. I guess it’s too late now. Maybe next time.

 

[JackBootedThug]

Depends on the amp but sometimes I prefer a distortion to an overdrive….but as you well know…I’m slightly retarded…

Damn, should have jumped on this. Congrats on the sale and the buy lol

I’ve never tried this method but I’m surprised it hasn’t caught on if it can capture a great tone at reasonable volumes . Cool that it’s worked for you

Wolf Hoffman mentioned how he was able to dial up his Plexi to the sweet spot; then used a dist pedal's vol control to attenuate it down. Of course, you have to want and like the gain the pedal provides but if you are ok with a boosted Marshall tone, it works really well.
I like my 72 run this way better than any 2203/4 boosted, and any modded Marshall as well. But that's me.

Unboosted and cranked is amazing of course, but has its limitations gain-wise.
