Hi!
I have an SL+, 1086, Recto, and Top Boost.
I also have a Marshall JMP-1, and absolutely love the OD1 mode. None of my modules will do that OD1 sound. Tried same tubes in JMP and in modules (well, SL+ and 1086..), not close.
Been through the JMP-1 schematic, and dug up old conversations between Marshall techs and people questioning the op-amp thing (claiming the JMP-1 did not really use the tubes for gain). Wondering if a mod might help?
Using my JMP-1 through Greenbacks (25watters) and using good tubes, OD1 has little to no "fizz" (as some will complain of). I almost do not want to sell it, but I am dying for a Friedman *corrected* Brahma more. But, it would be nice to find something just for that OD1 sound!
Module? Or maybe a pedal? Wampler has some sweet Marshall tones, as well as others (BOR and BB Pre both get close, but are missing that "tube-ness" of OD1).
Thx for any help with this odd (re)quest!
