Hi everyone, after a couple of days, I can say that the best clean tone IMOO is from the JTM1H. But, the JVM1H is really really close and folllowed with the DSL1H.

With my current setup, I can make the JTM1H crunch a little, but I need to use some earplugs if I want to use it in 1w mode :P

Man, 1w can be so loud !!!!

I was able to record 106db at 5 feets, even if my Creamback is mark at 97db per watt.

1watt is really loud! :) even on 0.1 watt it gets loud if you want overdriven tones... But it's worth it! I love it with a v30!!!!!!

A csjtm145 would be nice indeed... I could not justify buying one myself when they came out though... And now even less...
Hope you find ond in good condition and at a reasonable price.

I really like the JVM for the versatility.

The best clean is the JTM :P

And for any rock/crunch sounds, I really like the JMP but the JCM is really good too.

I think that the JMP is really dark, I'm used to play with a little bit more of treble and I cannot to that with the stock amp. I'm gonna try to find out a pedal that can help me to add some treble/presence.

Surprising that you say the JMP1 is very dark. Many have said that it's overly bright, and could do with more bottom end.

D2 - I really recommend the Xotic BB Preamp for treble and bass modifications.
This pedal goes all the way from clean boost to smooth vintage gain.

On my JMP, I noticed this :

When the volume is at 4.
When the treble is at 10, the more bass I add, it add some gain or I have that impression.

When I said that the JMP is very dark, it's when I'm using my rhythm pickup on my Les Paul.
