Title: Newbie question JTM 45 / 50 Post by: zeestar on January 25, 2008, 03:43:10 PM Hi all , im new to this forum so bear with me :-) ,, im after a single channel valve head and im very interested in the JTM45 / 50 ... i just have a few questions which i hope you guys can help me with .
First , how much clean headroom is available on these amps ??? is there more on the 50 ?? is there a tone difference between the two ?? I play professionally so i need an amp thats going to cut it live .. i currently use a 1990 Les Paul standard into Boss TU-2 - Morley Bad Horsie - Fulltone Fulldrive 2 (anniversary model) - Tc Electronics Nova Delay - Fulltone Choral Flange - Amp (mesa single rectifier.. for sale atm .. lol ) - Cornford 2x12 Cab with Vintage 30's I really want the Cornford MK50 mk2 head .. but at £2000 its just too expensive .. lol and the Mesa just sounds crap .. Hope you guys can help Title: Re: Newbie question JTM 45 / 50 Post by: rahimiiii on January 26, 2008, 04:51:13 AM Even a 30 watt amp has quite a bit of clean headroom and can be heard on stage. 100 watt tube head isn't really all that, its only 3 db louder than a 50 watt head, but then its probably better if you're one of those types who plays cleans all the time.
You could also get a Fender twin reverb, I heard those got tons of clean headroom.

I had to use a fender twin on new years eve .. and hated it !!! LOL .... each to his own i guess I really like the clean sound on a Fender twin reverb.. but I hated the fact that it won't distort no matter what, even if you turn it to intolerable volume. I guess you could use a twin reverb and a pedal...

Is the 45 only 45 watts? I play indie rock in the vein of at the drive in and head automatica, so having just a good overdrive isnt going to cut it. I use alot of delay and need alot of definition for hammer on/pull of type lines. I play a fender jazzmaster and a custom First Act Delia.
any recomendations? lookin to place my order thursday ;D Title: Re: Newbie question JTM 45 / 50 Post by: 72sg on April 08, 2008, 08:15:55 PM The JTM45 was originally considered about 30 watts, and today, due to higher wall voltages and other factors they're typically considered about 35 watts.
Title: Re: Newbie question JTM 45 / 50 Post by: 72fetter on April 09, 2008, 12:47:50 AM so would you guys recommend the jtm 50?
