BJFE Pedals & JTM45's?

Postby Barnaby, Hardly » Wed Jan 16, 2008 7:07 am

In anticipation of shortly picking a up a new CeriaTone-based JTM45 clone...

I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on their own experiences of using BJFE pedals with JTM45s?

FWIW I'm gonna be running KT66's in the head and Celestion G12-65's in a 4x12.

Any thoughts or opinions? I'm just keen to hear what worked out well for others. Please feel free to open this out to any other pedals that people used with this amp and found a perfect marriage...

I play a Les Paul Special with P90's and you can hear my band here.

I'm not looking for anything in particular - just interested! I have a HB and DRD sitting here that I can't wait to try out with the new amp...

nice eclecticly edgey tunes .... !
Yeah the DRD should do fine and the Honey bee before or after could add nice layers ( try both )

Will you be using your amp clean and all dirt from pedals or will t he amp be breaking up and just getting a push ?

Aye, the amp will be clean - as loud/clean as it will go without breaking up. I'll be using pedals for all the dirt. I'm planning to use the Honey Bee as a mild OD and the DRD for high gain, with a Klon before them as a lead boost for either/both.

Next on the list is a CAF...

thats a really flexible stack too --- you can use the DRD on a lower drive setting and then bump it up with the HB in front which will retain dynamic control of the distortion ....

or you can get a different feel and sound just by reversing that pair......

the Klon in front will drive the pedal to greater distortion while having the klon between the dirt pedals and the amp will drive the amp over , should be tasty either way.... and if you just using the klon for a boost you can keep an eye out for the Baby Pink booster, it also has a top shelf buffer ......
