Marshall 79' JMP

This is some noodling to sample the tone of my JMP. There is some digital clipping so sorry about that but the tone is pretty much there. KInda squishy on the rhythm but the lead sounds nice.
Gibson SG 61' RI, Fullton OCD V2, Marshall JMP 2203, Marshall 4x12 V30 and WGS classic lead clones.

i love that the tone in this clip is controversial :)

It's not modded! Its just awesome

[ruffles272]

well you're using an ocd... how much gain is the gain on on the ocd?

[bisaillion]

it was less than half. if i recall correctly i had all knobs at 11:00

[bisaillion]

hey there. its me here. yeah, the amp is stock. If you look at the details you'll read that i was using an OCD to boost. There is no way the JMP has this much gain stock. However, the JMP works so well with the OCD that the gain and volume levels just nudge it to sound amazing. The 2 together is a match like no other.

Hey if it's not too much hassle what are your settings on both the amp and the ocd? I have the same amp and an ocd and cant seem to get mine to sound like this. Also is this one equipped with EL34's or 6550's

Hey, i'm glad you like the tone (assuming that you do). Yeah, i had the eq levels on 12:00, gain would be at around 1:00 and the master would have been around 2. It was really low volume. The ocd was set to about 10:30 on all dials. It was likely set to LP but thats from memory. I generally play in the LP mode.

this amp has the EL34's in it. My cab had V30's and CL80's in it and i was playing an SG RI with Classic 57's.

Too bad the audio quality is so crappy. But it's still obvious that this is one kickass sounding amp.

This is a lot better than that cheap Line 6 crap or Crate. Marshall, Mesa or Ampeg is what you need!

the JMP Mark II is fundamentally a Plexi with a front-end gain knob.....it is still the best guitar tone monster ever made..every Marshall since then has been absolute dogshit in comparison.......Mesa?.....fuc­k that shit!!....My JMP MK2's all tested at 165 wattsRMS!!!!..unfortunately i sold them off back in the late 80's to a couple of lucky bastards for $400 each because i was moving out of L.A. and needed rid of them

noice!!!

@bisaillion I know the post is two years old, but I agree and need to ad that the OCD works even better as a clean boost with the JMP. Try JMP gain around 1-2 o'clock and OCD volume full and gain on 0. Amazing to my ears! ;)

@ripcliffburtonrip The dual terror sounded great in my bedroom, but at a gig you couldnt hear it over the drummer: no cut thru the mix. A jmp will blow the drummer OFF the stage!

I just got an amp exafctly like this ('79 JMP2203) to mod, but I ain't gonna change it anymore... it's such a MONSTER the way it is!!!! !!!

Awesome I'm picking up a 73' 100W JMP in the next few weeks with a 71' Cab, I like the tone better than you're amp but it is still good. How loud was your volume at?

[TheMullerFan]

This must just kill people at gigs. What a fucken amp

[swanky23]

Get rid of the OCD and play it stock. I'd like to hear the amp on its own :)

[capmkrob]

Sounds awesome!! JEEZ!
