the tones from this rig without effects is straight-up AC/DC sounding, cleaner settings like Free/Bad-Co.
our music is Power Rock, most comparable to 70's 80's. With the volume knob you can go from a RATT(or worse) type gain down to a "All Right Now" type tone, and 74 Jailbreak would be in there somewhere also. I change the volume pots in les pauls to 500k pots and although the JMP-1 dosent clean up as much as a big plexi, it cleans up enough for me. anyways I dont use extreemely high output pickups, so these guitars will sound perhaps a little brighter than some. the strat pickups were rewound by a old man in Dallas Tx named Vanzandt, he passed away around 1999 I believe. My pickups are hand wound and read around 9k. I do a switch and play about 5 songs with a 1963 strat. Most the night it's reissue les pauls through it. you can save up to 100 presets, and control it with midi. 2 stages of overdrive, and 2 stages of clean. It has an effects loop and you can adjust the mix. very straight forward it has the typical Marshall stuff, Volume, Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Presance. It's the most simple preamp to use I ever seen. I think anyone who likes marshalls would like the JMP-1 we have had all kinds of preamps over here, and ever since we started using this one, it's really sparked some creativity. literally we all went nuts over this thing. It literally sat in a corner of the warehouse for 3 years until another guitar player took the covers off the racks to see what was inside and went on and on about how awesome they are and who all uses them still to this day, so we hooked it all up and ran it stereo into 2 4x12 cabs with vintage 30's. anyways long story short, a good friend passed away and he wanted me to have his Rack rig. when I went to the wet/dry configuration, we sometimes used a modified JCM-800 head on one of the cabs.
I later went with a wet/dry combination, in other words I send all the effects to one wet/amp and keep the other amp dry. without writing a book, my background is 25 years of playing in working bands, and having said that, I was always hard core plexi and really love the sound of superlead stacks. I mount the 100/100 in a separate rack because I sometimes just carry the preamp out to use with other set-ups. and run it into a customized stereo 4x12 marshall cab. We control and use the preamp with a G System, power it with a E元4 marshall 100/100.
