AMT Electronics makes a pedal/preamp that emulates the JCM 800. It goes straight into the return of the effects loop because it is essentially a preamp. Like ZakkWylde said, it can't replace an actual JCM 800, but give it a listen and see if you like it, because in the end thats all that matters.

I've heard great comments about the box of rock, I hope I can try one some day. Youtube vids and all are good but I have to try a stomp to really know how it sounds!

Try with Tonebone Hot British, try on the same gear, and make your judgment, it's a very subjective manner. Listen well and find out the difference of what you gain in tone and what you pay. If you like the ratio, get it. You can make your amp have similar sound color to JCM800, that is one of the characteristics of tone. 800's with slant cabs, will give you more bass, tight, full-bodied mids, punch, headroom, even combos are pretty punchy, just lack on bass (amp itself doesn't tho). On the other hand, Fender Deluxe combos have very interesting sound, piercing, sweet, specially on semi-clean or driven hard and loud, very different amp.. Bass and low mid region need to be enhanced there, and distortion needs to be added. If that pedal does the job to some extent, it's all good. But, just for the sake of it, don't discard cheaper pedals right away. Getting a great pedal doesn't always secure good tone, getting the right pedal is important. It may be wise to tryout at least 5-6 pedals just to be sure in what direction you want to go.
