I never new how cool the JTM 45 circuit can actually be. I just acquired a Germino Classic 45 (thanks Evan) and the thing is killer...from clean to scream. I had a Marshall reissue a few years back but I never remember it sounding nearly as good.
It is one loud mutha!! I've been used to playing my FTR 37 in half power mode for so long, that I'm not used to a full 30 watts!
Anyway, back to the Classic 45. My R9 w/ Darkbursts really rips through this amp.
So far my favorite speaker choice is (2) Celestion Blues in my /13 cab. I've switched out and tried the G12H30 and the Weber 1230-55Hz and they all sound great, but the Blues are just a little more sweeter for sure.
I've also found the pedals that historically are more closely associated with Marshal sound awesome through this amp. I have the Zakk Wylde OD by MXR and the Keeley Java Boost. Simply fantastic.
I think the next purchase on my list will be a Weber Mass for my home practicing. Can't wait to jam the 45 at band practice tomorrow!
