Back when everybody was raving and using the mp1 I was using one of these!😁 Marshall's hidden gem🤘💀

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I have both and for sure I love the JMP-1 way more.

[@What11235]

I still have 2 of the JMP 1's and a broken JFX 1.

[@jroz8111]

This sounds amazing all these years later still holds up. Yes def Power-amp makes huge difference.

[@2550marshall]

I have owned one since the late 90's. Here are a few things to consider. 1) The Vood doo mods are not really needed. Place a BBE Sonic Maximizer (lots of guys did this back then) with the knobs (Lo Contour & Process) around noon to 1 O'clock after the preamp- not in the loop. 3) There is a switch on the outputs and FX loop which go from -10db to + 4 db, use the +4 db. 4) your main volume knob should only be set at about 9 O'clock. If it is cranked like you are doing, something is not right in the gain staging. It will scream through any tube power amp at 9 O'clock if it is set up correctly. 5) use an EL34 power amp! Use the channel volumes to get most of your level. 6) the EQ and Presence are not a typical tone stack. It actually has a non-adjustable tone stack and those tone knobs are really a 4 band Graphic EQ. Use it sparingly! When setup properly it is one of the best Plexi to modern gain Marshall tones available. I have never gotten so many complements on my tone than when I used this preamp with a BBE and an EL34 power amp. Also, a DSL works great for a power amp. 7) The 12AX7 tubes make quite a bit of difference to really get it dialed in. One of the tubes is only for the cleans while the other is for the OD channels. Like you said, A boost isn't really needed but if you want it to sound a little thicker use an Exotic EP booster. I would describe the JMP-1 as this: If you want to chug....this will do it!

[@Danvezina]

And the BBE makes everything sound artificial. Thats why most people who used them in the past got rid of them.

[@donsmith5385]

Ha ha that’s how I used to set up this, jmp-1 with the EL34 power amp. People were using the mp-1 back then because it cost less.

[@vicguitar1]

There is a very interesting amp tech in England that does a good job of going through a JMP-1 showing how much of this preamp is solid state !

[@donsmith5385]

@@vicguitar1 I remember when I worked at GC, a customer brought a JMP-1 in for repair. The tubes were out and it still turned on, so I figured that the tubes could not be part of the gain stage

[@Angel-fq7ww]

Nice man, thanks for shareing the info. This should be pinned

[@kahlrhoam6769]

Wowza, Bro, sounding EPIC there! 👏 I’ve always wanted that rig! It sounds excellent.

[@jeffhirshberg5171]

What a mean machine. Great demo, Jarrod.

[@dv8322]

I am so glad I swallowed the modeler pill. I have my TMP and I neither want nor need anything else. I am finally happy. Now I can just enjoy the videos.😁

[@svenzia]

Yeah, i can understand why and will do the same in time.

[@aquilarossa5191]

Modeller? You do know that it's a tube preamp into a 200- watt tube power amp huh? Nothing digital about it, apart from you can store the analog tones digitally and switch via midi.

[@dv8322]

@@aquilarossa5191 No one ever said the amp in this video is a modeler.

[@ianlahaye9476]

Sounds great, man!

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

I get that tone from my Framus that I bought back in 2006. I want my Marshall to sound like an old Marshall!

[@genelynch3235]

Great playing the amp sounds really good and clean.

[@RECTIFIER101]

Man that thing sounds awesome, it looks like it just came out of the box brand new too

[@MK-oz2lf]

despite all the amps that Stephen Carpenter of the Deftones tried, he says he always goes back to the JMP-1 for the studio and live ever since the 1997 2nd album Around The Fur. The most recent record in 2020 was the JMP-1 for his main tone as well.

[@GenerationDown]

Really? That’s good to know. The tone on ATF is amazing.

[@MK-oz2lf]

@@GenerationDown Yup. And that's a Duncan JB in the bridge too on that record. After that he went EMGs and then into Fishmans.

[@christopheranderson2158]

I love my JMP-1!!!! It is such a great preamp and sounds great with almost everything. Takes pedals fantastically as well, which cannot be said for some pre’s out there. I have a nice fat clean preset that I use for running drive pedals into it and it makes them all sound amazing. I wish Marshall would re-release it or an updated version!!

[@MichaelMoore-od4jz]

been looking one its always been in the list to buy

[@ELEVATETHESKY]

Great video and playing! I love the Marshall JMP-1. It is my fave preamp and guitar overdrive/distortion ever. I love that it has this furry/fuzzy quality to it but it is still tight, percussive, and articulate. Thanks for the rad playing and demonstration. Subbed \m/

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

@ELEVATETHESKY thank you so much!

[@ModyKhan]

I can tell one thing. Your lead playing is a killer in the intro. Rhythm was amazingly played. The sound of this Marshall beast is perfect. Sick intro.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you!!

[@NeverStopLearningMan]

@@TONEWARSgearshow Yeah that intro was awesome. Is it your own song or someone else? I never heard it before and would love to hear that again. What's it called?

[@MichaelDouglasSkewes]

Mine is still the best! JCM White Anniversary series! Slight mod ,EL34s and pre amp tubes switched out and biased raised! It's got the First VH sound ,with a dash of the real Mick Mars Marshalls and Rik Chaddock! The last person to touch it was Lee Jackson because he was the only one who could fix it before a show I had at the Country Club in Reseda! Yours is nice,but mine is still got that organic crushing sound !

[@greghitt1704]

I have both and they rock! My JMP is stock and I love it. That 9200 is the densest thing I own.

[@clementmorin4962]

Sound great ! congrats 😁

[@OfficialSNMvids]

Really like this Marshall tone here! I got too many amps to buy one, but at least I know if I ever do see a really good deal, why not? ;) Awesome review and demo like usual \m/

[@JimsMusicJourney]

I had the EL 34 variation years ago and it used to break my back

[@wrongchordsrecords]

i dont know what theyre like out of the box but it reminds of a lot of 90s metal albums in my collection.

[@SaySomethingWorthHearing]

Would love it if you would make some quad cortex captures and make them available. I used to have one of those, but it sure as hell didn't sound like that.

[@JavyonVISION]

Love mine! Run it into the EL34 100/100 power amp for 2 full stacks of rock.

[@dragannestorovic01]

Always dug that setup.....should have bought it when I had the chance. I had the ADA MP1 w that power amp. Wish I would have kept that as well.

[@mikebledsoe2315]

*Was the power amp stock. This combination of Marshall gear sounds awesome.*

[@francolopez3841]

What do you thing about using a compressor into a clean sound? I see it similar to using an overdrive/clean boost for rhythm sound. Great content as always!

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you, I'm glad you like the video. I love a compressor on clean tones. It sounds amazing. It really even things out and it adds to the feel

Please capture for the Quad Cortex

[@pauljosse]

how do you think this compares to a helix? i know someone who uses this, sounds really good but his pa is really really good too

[@josephweiss3931]

We need an Mp-1 next 😎😎🤟

[@jeffmays7192]

I sent Trace my dual recto and he ruined it. This on the other hand sounds fantastic. My jmp never sounded anything like this.

[@thanovee5999]

Hey there, how do you compare this unit modded by voodoo lab vs Salvation Audio modules or even Synergy modules? I had then JMP-1 stock and it was ok back in the day but not nearly as good as the Salvation mods modules. I'm curious to hear what you will say.

[@Amp_Expert]

I typically do NOT like amp or amps modified by Trace and Voodoo Labs, but this does sound tasty, so yeah....great job on this one Trace!

[@Danvezina]

This is probably the only good Mod Trace ever did. I remember when he was modding 5150’s back in the early 2000’s and everyone I know sold their 5150 after that cause he essentially removed all the balls from them.

[@jeffmays7192]

I sent him my dual recto. He ruined it.

[@Dobis86]

I remember some of the horror stories from local guys. That man was a butcher

[@svenzia]

@@Dobis86 Haha made me laugh

[@dannutton9350]

I used an MP1 into the 9200 into a mesa 4x12 and a triaxis into a 2:90 into a mesa 4x12 love it

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I have had one for about 20 years. I run the non cab sims outputs my interface and then into Genome for cab IRs and power amp sim. Before I had all that kind of stuff, I played and recorded plenty of things over the decades using the direct cab sim outs of the JMP. And so have dozens of super famous guitar heroes. It’s a super cool unit.

[@robertscharlow]

Dat solo, though... 😄 Wow!

[@symphx3540]

great sound great playing, would love tabs of your intro song!

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Thank you very much, unfortunately, I don't know how to read or write tabs lol. Maybe there's some software that will do that for me

[@mattlucas4046]

I would be curious to see what the sounds would be like with a 100/100 Monobloc El34!!!!

[@chopperdeath]

Wouldn't it be great if they re issued these?

[@jcsk8]

I regret a lot for not buying one of those for real cheap many years ago. Now they became rare and expensive.

[@justsomerandomguyman]

The encoder knob probably just needs cleaning internally. I have a coffee roaster with an encoder that does the same thing.

[@stanlibertycatfishchaosits5075]

Sounds great bro !!!!!!!!! Any basement haters are just jealous

[@nikos0937]

That was my first preamp, loved it, but realized how crappy it was when I got a Triaxis.

[@johnelias5293]

Yup, I have that combo with the voodoo mod and its pretty awesome. I also have a stock unit with the EL34 100/100 mono block and they both sound Amazing. But, a modded JVM410JS SOUNDS AMAZING ALSO, idk why but it seems like Marshall's have been getting a lot of hate for a while, I just don't get it... I know there are so many good amps nowadays but Marshall's are still one of the greats! 🤘🏽🤘🏽✌🏽✌🏽

[@MassivelyHeavy]

Really miss mine……ran it through a Mesa 50:50 power amp…….one of best the Marshall-esque rigs I’ve owned. I was a young fool for selling it……

[@michaelgallegos8811]

I always liked those amps. I would like to have one for my 2 100watt DSL heads as pre amp if it would actually work! 😂

[@steveweilhart2359]

nice demo sounds awesome (boost boy) ha

[@HEZ63]

While I never became warm with the JCM's, this one was for me the best thing, they made for decades. OD-2 meanwhile could be even heavier, but this is early 1990's gear, so ok, on the other hand Clean 1 offers surprisingly good vintage clean sounds, which you usually do not expect from a Marshall. So, everything there for everybody, I would say including stereo and midi. An upgraded version with a slightly hotter OD-2 channel and maybe some minor additions like resonance would be nice, I think. Nevertheless even today still great. Do not own the 9200 power amp, so I use a power scalable KT77 power amp.

[@Juppi13]

Hey, whats the cool song in the beginning? Sounds a bit like Dream Theater, but i can´t find it.

[@Epochstudios]

It's his own music

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

Glad you like the song, thanks for asking. It's just something I wrote a couple years ago. I haven't released it yet but it's just something I play in some of my videos and live streams. I haven't even named it yet LOL

[@Juppi13]

@@TONEWARSgearshow Oh i see! It sounds awesome, i really dig this certain "modal mix" vibe it has and think it´s absolutely release-worthy

[@robfernandez5234]

Flipping great. And used by Phil Collins and Billy Gibbons forever. Fortunately the Fractal has a very good JMP model! Does not suck at all.

[@DreidMusicalX]

You need to make a TONEX capture of that amp.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

I'm definitely doing that

[@superglassbucks6356]

Great amp Try an Astoria Custom too

Wow😮❤

[@jesterraj]

REally a gem so it the price now...

[@aquilarossa5191]

Don't gel with a Marshall? I know a few players that say that. Same reason. Thin and lots of treble. I remember a band playing when I was a teenager and he had a great 1980s Iron Maiden lead tone. Fat and smooth like Dave Murray. I knew the people in the band, so asked to try the amp later on. I could not play through it. Horribly thin and lots of high end. It was a JCM 800 2203. What I've learned since is that when boosting them that thinness and high end really cuts in a mix and does not sound thin like that with the rest of the band playing. I am not sure why it sounded fat when the band was playing, but so thin on its own. In the mix there's all that bite and snarl that sounds so cool, but is nasty on its own when just noodling. P.S. I had this rig in the 1990s. 200 watt Dual Monoblock, JMP-1, and a 1960a cab so I could run stereo. I traded it for a Digitech tube preamp (that sounded cool, because it had a decent sounding tube preamp plus lots of nice effects etc -- but since then I have noticed some of the tone people get from a JMP-1 that I did not, so regretted letting it go - oh well -- water under the bridge etc).

[@CFChristian]

For those interested, Stephen Carpenter used one during the early days of Deftones (Around the Fur, White Pony, etc.)

[@tiagoandrade5826]

Actually, around the fur was ada mp1. He said on interview. Jmp1 was only used for the next albums.

[@Amanet13]

This is a chug chug machine

[@zipzap1561]

Wow! This sounds AMAZING. Is Voodoo back to doing mods? Their website says they’ve suspended mods as of 2022 to the public. I guess Tone Wars is a private client.

[@TONEWARSgearshow]

My friend, Chris, who owns the amp, is a legit signed, touring musician. Maybe that's why Trace did the mod?

[@bdawnedon]

compare it to an old ADA mp-1 preamp

[@mauriceguiheen7181]

This is like Zak wild shit ❤

[@TheGrahamman84]

Sounds similar to my Gower KK JMP

[@Danvezina]

Every gower I’ve heard sounds better

[@kebotrans]

Why Marshall has not made this into a portable system built on the foundation of this unit is crazy. Poor leadership has been their downfall for quite some time

[@AD1978leo]

Tone Wars praising a Marshall and even say it could work wothout a boost?! Time for that AARP card.. nah sounds awesome!

[@panoscyrannos6222]

lol. had one. hated it. sold it. well some life decisions come back to haunt you…got a hughes kettner access. sleeper unit. laney gh 100s and i was off to heads.

[@jefffoster5340]

it kind of has a Satch feel to the solo tones, but has this honky thing going on during the chugs that i don't really care for. Nice playing tho. peace

[@rustynales4597]

This is what all the industrial metal guys used in the 90s. Ministry, Marilyn Manson, NiN

[@EdBenji]

Sounds like razor blades!

[@spacefx1340]

Most of those artists are using AXE FX 3 now.

[@lostinpa-dadenduro7555]

I wish Marshall, under their recent new management, would release a JMP-1 Classic and just fix a couple component quality things like output jacks and stuff. And then release a JMP-1 Modern. They could goose them a bit and have IR loading / selection built in. But other than that they shouldn’t F with the recipe of the original.

[@mattvdh]

sounds pretty cool. hey man you need a guitar chair of some sort to elevate your legs, rather than tippy toe it

[@muleblues71]

The power amp makes a difference

[@roscius6204]

I've been running one into the power amp section of a JCM900 for 30 years, sounds pretty good. Also have a JC120 that was stereo'd back in louder times and that works well to. I'd say anything with a bit of headroom will get the job done. Mostly the clean with boosts, compressors and OD's to taste.

[@midirok]

The JMP-1 is horrible under stage lights. You can’t stop the hum of it without turning down and muting. The sonics of that early nineties technology is horrible compared to what can be had nowadays. It’s a kids toy I’ll stick with my 2555.

[@andremessias2974]

That doesnt like a MArshall at all !!!

[@TomFord-kp8fh]

The chugs on this thing sound pathetic

[@TomFord-kp8fh]

This is what you get when you can't play with feeling and you sound so robotic. No thanks.

[@SeriousPoo]

I have one of these, it’s spectacular. The mods make a big improvement over the already great stock units. It needs a good power amp, I pair mine with a Mesa Simul 2:90.

[@anthonyhoffman6052]

JMP-1 is lame cause i know as ive had two of them and they sounded exactly the same. yes even with new JJs and the same power amp retubed with matched mullets. what a waste of money. very lucky i broke even on that deal. if u heard that Def Leppard /Iron Maiden and even MegDETH AND zztOP USE THIS RIG THEN DONT EXPECTT TO GET ANY MORE OUT OF IT. he must be maxing the crap out of it with whatever pedal he has in the chain here.
