Ok, I know this is ridiculous,
but I never understood, the JCM800 is a single channel amp (at least some of them are.).
So can you get distortion without a pedal?
I know they are renound for their awesome gain, but where does it come from?

if you crank it up, or use an overdrive pedal
You can get distortion by cranking the preamp and
turning down the master volume, but doesnt sound
to good on low volume till you turn the master up
a ways
