i just scored a 1959RR MkII on eBay. I can't find any info on this mod. It has switches for JTM/JCM, Diode clipping. Vintage/Modern, and Haze and also features a cool recessed blue LED channel indicator light. How is the MKII differerent than the original 59RR?
What exactly does the JTM/JCM switch do? I assumed it was simply a tone stack voicing toggle switch, but there also appears to be quite a gain boost on the JCM side. Is an additional gain stage engaged in JCM mode?
Is the Vintage/Modern switch similar to the voicing switch on the Donnegan module? It sounds like it increases dynamic range/adds highs and lows.
Mine has a gun metal blue faceplate with silver capped Marshall style knob that are quite striking together in an understated way. I have never before seen an RR model in this color scheme-they usually appear to be white or silver.
The low to mid gain Marshall crunch tones are outstanding! I can get great classic rock through 80's metal sounds out of this module. For higher gain Marshall style tones, I have to switch over to the XTC Rob built for me a couple years ago. That module is simply amazing! It will do clean Plexi and Brown sounds as well. You could literally use an XTC in the clean, crunch, and distortion slots of an RM100 and have three excellent, but totally different sounds.
I am also looking to have Rob build me a JPlex, which should about do it for me as far as Marshall mods go. However, I also see VybeDeluxe, Twintone, A30, 6550, MKC+, and Super Clean in my future!
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
