Not going to give the same kind of results as an all tube head, or even as pedals that have an analog signal path (like most typical non-DSP pedals). IMHO this is one of those "less is more" type situations - find a pedal that does exactly what you need with no other fluff, and it will be great. The JMP head is one of the finest classic amps ever made, and it takes pedals as well as anything out there, so you should be able to get great tone with that rig. |
To be fair, you are right, its a bit of an all in one job. It was something I got with my first amp and never really gave up with. I have been tinkering around with my settings this evening and have cranked the mid range to 10, bass down to 8 and trable to 2. Presence is at 0 and its better, not perfect, but better. Its because of the speaker unit I was using before probably didn't like the mid range and liked to squeal the house down when you even touched it, hence why mid range was always an 'avoid' situation for me. Still need to fiddle but I'm getting there.
But yeah, a decent marshall pedal is probably the next purchase!
