RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; place into clean channel (Gain 2) to capture the thick JMP-1/Mesa wall of distortion.
The Revoltage RV-15M is a small solid-state practice amp with a standard 3-band EQ and drive channel, lacking presence control. To approximate Stef's massive Marshall JMP-1 preamp tone using only the amp, engage the drive channel with gain pushed to 8, scoop mids to 4, and bump treble to 7 to retain articulation under Drop Db tuning without flubbing the low end. Clean verse: switch amp channel to Clean or roll guitar volume down to 3-4.
