Synergy JMP and Killer Kali Comparison?

[romanianreaper]

For anyone who has played the JMP and Killer Kali, I was hoping someone could help me determine which is the better module for my needs.

I already own the SLO II module, so wondering what I have covered already in terms of tone? I really love Marshalls but wonder if i'll not get enough gain with the JMP.

As a reference, I play in a rock/punk influenced band with a tone similar to Green Day on "Dookie" or Ramones, etc. I have an Orange Dual Baby I use for shows. In addition, i'm and 80s hard rock guy so want to get tones from Whitesnake to Metallica, etc. I'd also like that Hendrix, SRV type Plexi tone.

I'm sure i could eventually end up with both but want to make a good bang for buck decision and get something with that Marshall tone but covers a lot of bases. As mentioned, I have the SLO II as a first module.

Appreciate any insight on the modules would be appreciated. I know i'll dig either one.

I bought the Killer Kali when it came out and did the same with the JMP and SLOII. Very different animals.

The Kali will cover a ton of ground but you have to dig to find it. Lots of tone shaping options but also many ways to make it sound bad. That much tweaking can annoy me so I sold it. Will buy another though. Great module but I found that I had to gain it up to get rid of a clank in the attack.

The JMP module is much lower gain, but still has a good amount, especially with a boost. Many tones in there but much more of a vintage vibe and the low end is a bit much for me at times. I do use it regularly though.

The SLO was my main tone and was replaced by the SLOII. They sound pretty much the same to me, but the II has a couple convenient options that the original did not have.

The Kali is going to give you more of what you what you are looking for right out of the gate. The JMP is going to fit a narrower space but a very good one.
