Not so funny enough, I've kept the 50 and 100 watt JMD's the longest of any Marshall(s) I've owned. I input in to the 100 and use one stereo FX return to the 50 watt. I run one or two JCM800's for a core sound, which I go high or lower gain with a six band eq and or a micro amp; the JMD's lock in a nice clean tone, a nice dirty 800 tone, and a great Mode 4 heavy tone, all able to be maxed out effect wise and layered thusly. I've had this set up for over two years, which is like a millennium, and I'm still satisfied live or at home, and most importantly....not bored. If I ever get bored and can't solve that problem with guitar music tone.....I'm done.
I wasn't knocked out by the JMD when I played a combo initially. But when Korg and Marshall cleared them out, I couldn't resist and am glad I got a 50 watt at the time, and then pursued a 100 used via Guitar Center when things like the noise gate and consistency of tone became apparent.
