I added an MXR 10 band EQ (not the KK model) swapped the tubes for a high gain set of E34L's and preamp tubes from Euro and this thing beats serious ass I kid you not. I run the EQ thru the FX loop and I don't need no steekeeng OD pedals.

A few of the members here recommended an EQ and my Boss wasn't cutting it and after the many hours reading reviews on the MXR I went for it.

Granted I don't have the 4100 with the built in reverb but I have a verbzilla that is an animal. I also use a DD7 and a smartgate at the end of the board and I'm very pleased.

BTW I have the JCM 900 SLX-200/1960A cab which I got in trade for a combo amp.

Go figure.
