Brit J-800
Turn to this Amp Model to conjure up tones of the coveted JCM 800, one of Marshall’s
most universally-acclaimed modern amps. This updated version of the Plexi continued
Marshall’s heritage with added gain and edge for a new generation of rock guitarists.
One of the biggest differences here is that the tone controls are located after the
preamp tubes.
Incidentally, some versions of JCM 800’s get their distortion by clipping a diode. The
amp we modeled uses a tube for distortion.
The JCM 800 is, of course, the metal sound Marshall made famous. And although not
many people play Marshalls clean, it is a great tone, so you should also be sure to check
out this model with a low Drive setting. Of course, you can always pump up the drive
and rage...
