Ok, here we go. I have been doing crazy research for my new build - a JTM45 Marshall clone. What's that you say? I thought Joe Popp swore by the JCM800! Well, the JCM800 is my favorite sound for crunch, but I am expanding my palate of sounds for a new rock musical Pericles that my band The Hornrims is composing music for. Not only do I need a good crunch sound, but I also need a killer clean sound along with a bunch of time based effects.
I admit I was torn but I ended up selling my beloved Rachelle 2204 to build this new amp. I have already built the pedal for getting my crunch sound. I call it the MicroScream and it is a combination of a Ibanez Tube Screamer with Landgraff modifications and an MXR Microamp in one box. The beauty is that it gives me 4 different sounds: Clean, Clean boost, Crunch, Crunch Boosted. Here's the pedal front and back.
Next post I will get to constructing the amp.
