Heavily inspired by the tone and feel of the following legendary Marshall amps: the non master volume series PLEXI Super Lead (1959/1987) & Super Bass (1992) and the master volume series JMP? & JCM800? (2203/2204).
Over the years, we have had many different types of Marshall amps on our workbench, some for repairs and others for customization. Being huge fans of the sound of these classic amplifiers, that still continues to excite us through the music of so many artists, we decided to try and capture its mojo - the true essence of the soul of this sound - and carefully place it in a little box. Thus the Room #40 was born!
Using JFET technology, we tried to stay loyal to the tone and feel of the following legendary Marshall amps: the non master volume series PLEXI Super Lead (1959/1987) & Super Bass (1992) and the master volume series JMP & JCM800 (2203/2204).
Main Features: - Overdrive / Boost Effects Pedal - 2 types of Marshall style circuits o PLEXI (19) o JMP & JCM800 (22) - Variac voltage control from 7.5V to 21V - for re-creating the legendary "brown-sound" - Classic Marshall 3 band EQ - Versatile Presence control for matching pedal to darker or brighter amps - Gain Boost controlled by a foot-switch and a dedicated trimmer - True Bypass Switching - Handmade in Athens, Greece - Powered by 9V DC power adapter
We emphasized on emulating the compression and sag coming from the power amp section, when these amps are pushed to the edge, while at the same time giving access to two famous mods, mod #39 (PLEXI) and mod #34 (JMP? & JCM800). Of course the manifestation of our love for the late great Eddie Van Halen, who created the so called "brown sound" using an ohmite variac (variable transformer used to lower or raise the voltage going into the amplifier), could not be absent from this endeavor.
