Thx, I was hoping someone wanted to share their experience about the pedals before I order them both (about 420 euro) :)

I’m looking for a great plexi/jcm 800 style pedal. These two pedals seem to get the best reviews. Unfortunately I’m not able to test them so I’ll have to order the one or the other (they’re quite expensive). What is your story about these pedals, what sounds best in a band mix. I’ll be using them 99...

Using a gain pedal in the effects loop sounds a bit weird to me, indeed. I suppose the Guv'nor was brittle then, probably the Bluesbreaker would do a better job. How do you compare the Guv'nor to a Tube Screamer?

I was also wondering if someone has had some experience with a Marshall gain pedal, for instance the Bluesbreaker II and/or Guv'nor Plus. Some say they sound better then Boss gain pedals in general.

Surly, is your SD-1 all stock? If so I recommend you to clip C6 out of the circuit. Just take it off without replacing with a jumper. You'll be surprised. Opens up the pedal like removing blanket over speakers. :Thumbs Thanks for the tip Juzo95. I don't have an SD-1 yet, I'm gassing about it for th...

So my curiosity got me and I went and tested this. I used my Blackstar HT-5, ran my guitar through my SD-1 plugged in with a wall wart straight into the amp, nothing else in the chain. Through both the clean and dirty channels with the volume and gain on full I adjusted the bypassed pedals controls...

Do you have any “buffer bleed” issues with the SD-1? I’ve read this a couple of times. Users state they hear a significant tonal colouration when the gain is on max and the SD-1 is off. My TS9 doesn’t seem to have this issue.

I don't really use drive pedals I tend to drive the amp hard, however the common consensus is to use ODs over distortion pedals with the VM, the TS should be prefect for adding extra grit, with the gain that is already on tap with the VM, I wouldn't see as anymore needed but a tube screamer or TC s...

I am the lucky owner of a Vintage Modern 2466 and boost it with an Ibanez TS-9. I am considering using a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive for the same purpose because this pedal would be more suitable for classic rock than a tube screamer (that’s what they state). I tested the SD-1 in a shop but of course ...

Hello everybody, just an update from me :) I got me eventually a 2466 in black and a 1936 vintage cab. The amp sounded well in the shop, but sounded fantastic with the band and during my first gig with it. What a great, fantastic, beautiful rock sound. Very simple amp but with a fantastic grinding r...

Hello guys, it’s some time ago I posted something but I’ve been testing around in the meanwhile. Last week I had the chance to test different 100 watt amps in one shop: VM 2466, JVM 210, JCM 800 reissue and Laney GH100L. With this comparison I noticed the VM had less gain then the EL34 amps, I found...

Hello guys, I've found a shop nearby that has a 2266 head. Hopefully I'll be able to test it next Friday! Happy about that! I'll let you know. Question: have you ever gigged with the 2466 model and a 2x12 cab? I'll be using a 1936 vintage cab, I have no room for a 4x12 cab. Would a 50 watter be a b...

At last I had the chance to test a 2266 past Friday. Great amp, really classic Marshall sounds. The LDR seemed more dynamic than HDR. The volume difference was not very big, I was using detail on max and body on 3 o'clock. On LDR backing the guitar volume I could reach clean sounds. For comparison I...

Marshall growl, I think that says it all. BTW... the volume difference between LDR and HDR depends on the body/detail level as we all have found out meanwhile ?!?!? Have you ever tried to think of LDR and HDR as rhythm/lead volume and set body and detail accordingly ? If you think you need gain to ...
