I would also go for the Ibanez Tube Screamer, and yes, I own one (actually 3
 ) and I used it myself for many years while I was still using my JCM 800, perfect couple. An option would be Marshall's Gov'ner or Govner 2, and again, yes, I have both of them.

Found this for you. The TS808. Check it out. It's a vintage reissue of the Tube Screamer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEiENqAkquA...feature=related The demo is a little long but he does a great job of explainning how it can be used and how it can shape your sound. Towards the end he runs it through the gain channel for a small boost with no extra distortion and it makes the amp just pop out. Of course if you want or need more distortion just turn it up on the pedal. Hope this helps -------------------- "Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

My vote on Tubescreamer as the best booster of tube amps of all time. Another good pedal to play with JCM800 would be DS1. It gives that hard driving rock type or distortion, and can really sound great with JCM800.

Last night I tried 3 pedals with it.
Boss SD-1 that has been modded. Digitech Hardwire CM-2 Ibanez TS-9 The TS-9 was just a bit too fuzzy for me. A littel too "vintage". With the pedal on I am looking for that sharper/crisper sound. That may be tought to get from a Marshall. And to make it more difficult, I still want the marshall sound too. Which brings us to the CM-2 This pedal lost the characteristics of the amp too much for me. It was a GREAT distortion but it didnt sound like the same amp with more gain. It sounded like a different amp. I lost clarity, definition, and articulation. The Boss SD-1 (Super Overdrive) Sounded the best of all of them. I'm not sure what mod is in it. (I didnt do it) It had a bit more brightness than the others. Which equated to more the sound I was looking for. And it kept the clarity that the CM-2 lost. It was almost the EXACT tone of this. \m/ \m/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbJ_DeVQE8Q -------------------- My Gear

Sure Fulltone makes the OCD www.fulltone.com
And Xotic makes the BB Preamp http://www.xotic.us/effects/ They are both considered boutique I guess, so you won't find them necessarily at guitar center, but most big cities will have a store that caries them or you could order online depending where you live. Do a search for Andy Timmons on youtube, he uses them, he's not a metal player but you can get an idea of what it's capable of, should be plenty of demos with these pedals on youtube, definitely the OCD will be paired up with marshall stacks in some videos because it's a perfect marshall complement |

I do have the OCD and I use with a fender tube amp that has digital voicings, so I use it for light blues on the clean channel and i use it as a boost on the marshall setting, sounds wicked. I don't have the means to do any recordings unfortunately. The OCD like I said has two settings, one is like a cranked plexi and the other is more transparent. However both settings work great as boosts, one is a more transparent boost and the other is a more of everything boost. When used as a boost on an already driven channel it really gives you more, more gain and more harmonic content.
Here's a few clips on youtube, mostly with Marshall's and some metal ones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GX2ezg-zp-U // on a marshall with low volume https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTwMVU7P0yE // on a cheap epi valve junior https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VINhhHqnra4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ME4esueEP8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-_phtqvii4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI622_sVoX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK5dzFwbfS8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-CiNiJVDU8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHaeF6Cs1Ks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7D_3wH5-7U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmgRgSRASiw This post has been edited by inertia: Dec 19 2008, 09:21 PM |
