Seriously, I wasnt impressed with the Vintage Modern 1st time around. For some reason the Distortion Pro and the OD9 really sound good thru it. I ab'd with the JVM 3rd channel, and I liked the pedal / VM sound a bit better. Tried the Stiletto Ace a few days before, I like the Marshall just as much, I little better I think. Granted, the D Pro colors it I'm sure....Just my 2 cents. I just hear that amp getting slammed a lot, just wanted to let folks know to give it a shot with their own gear before crossing off the short list!Comment

And really, after tweaking it a bit, it sounded good without the pedals too. Just not "instant gratification" on this one.Comment

Well I appreciate the review, because I have been considering going and checking one out...
Now I think I will.Comment

My other JCM 800s 2203s..2204s all had their own sig. I had a red 50 watt 800 that was the loudest amp I have yet to own..it made my teeth hurt..yeesh!
I owned five 5150's they were consistant, but I had one "sweet" one I always favored...same stock tubes and eveything..just one of those things!

That could be, I might have found a good one. I did play the same model at another store and I felt it sounded more or less the same. I will take your advice and try a bunch before buying.Comment

I played one for a while about 2 weeks ago. Once dialed in, I had it sounding quite a bit like an old 50 watt JMP that I used to own. It's not a high gain amp per se, but it grinds nicely when you light the wick on it.
If you primarily use high gain tones, stay away. If you like to ride your volume knob to go from a brawny clean sound (no shimmery Fender tones here) to overdrive, and use pedals for higher gain tones, check it out.
I would have to think that anyone knocking this amp doesn't understand dynamic, classic, low/medium gain tones.Comment
