Interesting responses you have here.

Now, I dont know the JMP50, so Im probably talking out of my proverbial.
But I go for lots of master, and as little as possible of pre-amp. I like a
clean tone that breaks up in the speaker and/or output stage, rather than in
the amp. And, like Trev said, that way I can control everything with the
guitar (or my fingers). I like an articulate tone that isnt lost in gain,
where the dynamics are up to me, not the gear
But thats just me ;).
