A good Marshall and a good boost pedal...all you need.
This exactly! No other opinions needed!
I sold my "77" JMP last year and that was a horrible mistake

I had a late seventies 2203 and it sounded like horse shit compared to my reissue 2203- so you can't go by year.
Wow, I have never tried the re-issue 2203X, but they do sound great ?
I wonder what transformers they use…

Maybe with a slight boost, pretty close, but mine sounds way darker at those settings, and I don't think I clipped my bright cap. I can get pretty close with my own settings, which are pretty different from his. My 1987xl, however, will match that tone all day long and his '72 50w in the other video.

That’s it. I’ve had a bunch of JMP‘S but all had EL34’s and I never cared for them. This one changed my opinion.

thats what my JMP sounded like too... dark and lazy. I didnt alter the brightening circuit either... just is what it is.

As I’m sure you know, a 1959 is a lot different than a 2203. The 1959 will make your ears bleed.
Also, in my clip, I’m using a Ceriatone Klon clone.

I have two other 1959 clones I built. I play them at full volume all the time while wearing earplugs.
