You have a 50w jcm900 1×12 combo?
thats cool as hell! I’m envious!
It’s a twin channel; however the “lead” channel IMO isn’t great as it uses clipping diodes, the clean channel can do a good overdrive, it just takes a pedal or two (Graphic Fuzz into a Tube Zipper) to make it really sing.
I really like the sound of the 900, the clipping diodes make it sound like a distortion pedal
my laney has the same thing in ‘drive 2’ channel and use it more than any other channel. :metal:

well, i tried to find a setting that i really liked but it always sounded really muddy through a single speaker, so that channel is largely redundant. the driven channel on an 800 is a bit nicer, more rounded. like most amplifiers, a jcm900 does sound nicer through a 4×12. i don’t have the space for anything like that though at the moment.
Whats the general opinion regarding Fender Twins on here? I played a blackface a few weeks back and loved it. so much headroom.
