The JCM800 1W is well, a typial JCM800 amp, manifested in novelty dimensions. I'm saying this because the JCM800 roar is in tact despite the size, it's that kinda amp which needs cranking up for optimum ferocity. If this is your initial encounter with one, be informed that it's not a metal-type of drive on board but it's an achievable standard with:
- Master + Pre-amp volume cranked way up
- Pedals to boost the pre-amp section
Blues- if you think you need that crunch for blues application, this amp has it but it could sound a little harsh as if hinting at its more intense capacity on board. That BOOST button there would give you added drive but its immediate effect is one of limitation- there's a little compromise in terms of EQ settings as well as volume. I needed to reconfigure my EQ (slightly) & rectify that volume drop every time the BOOST function is activated.
Still to be continued... :-)
