extra saturation. Some guys loved this sound so much that they pulled the chassis and permanently
wired a jumper into the amp. Being the obsessive/compulsive tone freaks we are, we just had to give
you the 1968 Plexi Jump Lead model to give you a sound based on* of this setup.

1987 Jazz Clean
The 1987 Jazz Clean Amp Model is modeled after* the classic
Roland® JC-120.
This transistor amp was known for a strident clean sound and
built-in stereo chorus. When using the JC-120 model, try
cranking up the Treble for a shimmering clean sound that’ll
cut through just about any mix. It’s also perfect for that 80’s
“new wave” sound (after all, it was Andy Summers’ favorite
amp with The Police).
You should also try setting all the tone controls at 12 o’clock
for a darker jazz tone. It’ll give you an essentially flat response,
providing a balanced tone across the fret board for jazz chord melodies or single-line phrasing.

1990 Brit J-800
The 1990 Brit J-800 Amp Model is based on* a Marshall® JCM 800.
Turn to this Amp Model to conjure up tones of the coveted JCM
800, one of Marshall’s most universally acclaimed modern amps. This
updated version of the Plexi continued Marshall’s heritage with added
gain and edge for a new generation of rock guitarists. One of the biggest
differences here is that the tone controls are located after the preamp
tubes.
Incidentally, some versions of JCM 800’s get their distortion by clipping
a diode. The amp we modeled uses a tube for distortion.
The JCM 800 is, of course, the metal sound Marshall made famous.
And although not many people play Marshalls clean, it is a great tone,
so you should also be sure to check out this model with a low Drive
setting. Of course, you can always pump up the drive and rage...
