Welcome to the JCM 900 showdown! In this video, I put the acclaimed Marshall JCM 900 pedal to the ultimate test against a real Marshall JCM 900 amplifier. I'll be playing through both in a musical context, marked as "A" and "B," without revealing which is which. Can you identify the pedal and the amp?

We'll then dive deeper by soloing the guitar tones, allowing you to scrutinize every nuance. Finally, the truth will be revealed in a breakdown of the original song and in isolation, showcasing the distinct characteristics (or surprising similarities!) of both the pedal and the amp.

Join me as I share my observations on the sonic performance and discuss just how well Marshall has captured the essence of the JCM 900 in pedal format. Get ready for a revealing sonic journey!
