Which pedals ?For me, it started with a Lee Jackson 2204 from 1985. Modded Marshall after modded Marshall…then Jubilees + a boost, then 2203/4 boosted. All are killer. Every time I tried a NMV JMP they didn’t sound as good as a 2203 with a boost…but they all had a master mod. Years go by and I have a great 83 2203, healthy with GE 6550s. Decided I would search out a pre pcb NMV Marshall just to have. Stock no mods. Found a 1972 SuperTrem for 2200 shipped from England. Great condition. Got it, fired it up and got that crunch. Nice. But then I started experimenting with boosts and found 2 cheaper pedals that for whatever reason sounded incredible with it….and one spot on each volume that turns it into the best sound I’ve ever heard for hard rock/old school metal. Not even my old Wiz MC100, or any of my C+ I owned can touch it. Just a sonic steamroller.
Desert island amp for me.
I definitely will let everyone know . I can’t believe how shitty fed ex has been . They say indefinite delay with no other reasons even when I call . But yes I will be posting !I'm anxiously awaiting that amps arrival myself.

Funny thing is, they are some of the cheapest I own. First in the chain (after the Decimator) is a Boss OD1X, then a 30$ Ultimate Drive (Chinese OCD clone) that I bought way back in 07. Both have everything at noon. After the UD is an 80s SD1, off, which acts as a buffer….if I remove it the tone isn’t the same. I’ve tried Airis, Thorpy, VFE, Wizard(Leopard), Suhr, Maxon, Dino pedals which sound nice but not as good as the first two.Which pedals ?
Maybe he stuffed a kilo in the back ?I definitely will let everyone know . I can’t believe how shitty fed ex has been . They say indefinite delay with no other reasons even when I call . But yes I will be posting !
You definitely would be getting your money’s worth out of that ampMaybe he stuffed a kilo in the back ?
Lol maybe so lmaoMaybe he stuffed a kilo in the back ?
no point making a new thread but the jcm800 talk here made me want to fire up my JMP and try out the bogner wessex I picked up a while ago. I like the articulation it has over a tubescreamer or SD-1.
got a couple of 4 holers which are cool but I don’t really like them with boosts. non-MV get too bloated for the heavy stuff. Only exception for me is the Marshall 2150 can get pretty aggressive with a boost, but it has a PPIMV so you can keep it under control a bit.
Funnily enough I can’t leave the SD-1 on my board as the bleed when it’s (supposed to be) off drives me mad. Guessing that’s what you’re liking adding to your tone as much as the buffering
Once you're deaf volume isn't a problem anymore.How do u control the volume with no MV? I have one and have used it as a clean pedal platform but jumpered inputs and my volumes are barely at 2 which is clean. Distortion pedals sound great into it but it is a clean tone.amp is insanely loud BTW.
An added master volume doesn't kill their tone IMO.The only thing better than a 2203/4 with a boost, is a NMV Marshall (stock, no MV mod) and a boost or two. It'll make the 2203/4 sound small. But there's no denying a good Marshall and a pedal. Tried and true.
Glad you found something you like. 15 seconds is about enough time for me to turn one off.I 've had a JCM800 forever but rarely played it for some reason as I have a few other Marshall incarnations that preoccupy me . As I started reading threads on the forum and some of the classifieds I decided to fire that baby up yesterday for some 6 knob glory with an Archer I had laying around. After about 15 seconds I decided I wasn't sure why I needed anything else .
That is all !
The examples that I owned, absolutely killed the tone and made it sound flat.An added master volume doesn't kill their tone IMO.
