Today, we continue our journey of the exploration of the Ampworx Series of preamp pedals from our friends at TC Electronic. We’re looking at all six effects in the series (so far), with their three latest releases, and moving through the previous three, over the coming weeks. Let’s keep it going with the JIMS 800 Preamp, a beast that faithfully recreates a modified Marshall JCM800 tube amp, and pays gorgeous tribute to classic, guitar-driven rock…..

The V550 is a true-to-life digital simulation of the Marshall JMP 2203* (JCM 800*) tube amplifier, created using TC Electronics unique AMPWORX modeling technology. Every detail of the original tube amp has been lovingly re-created in painstaking detail by the TC tone technicians, right down to every last component in the circuit, bringing you the best digital amp modeling experience available. The goal here went beyond technical measurements, as TC also wanted to capture the authentic and genuine feel of this wonderful amplifier.
The list of features here is long, but JIMS 800 is also ready to rock right out of the box. Switch between the 5150 channel and a high-gain lead channel, add in up to +18dB of on-board Boost, and dial in your perfect sound with 7 parameters, including Resonance and Presence controls, along with a 3-band EQ section. The Boost can be set Pre- or Post-Amp, for a variety of flavors, and the D.I. options integrates the official Celestion Digital impulse response of a revered 4×12 cabinet loaded with G12-65 speakers. TC Electronic has also added some highly sought after custom shop modifications based on mods by legendary amp builders, including Treble Bleed, Custom Tonestack and Gain mods.
There’s a lot going on in this pedal, and there’s a TON of extra info on the TC Electronic website, so be sure to head over for all the details. Before or after you do that, you’ll want to hear how the Ampworx JIMS 800 Preamp sounds, so click below to watch our full demo as we run through the powerful features this black box holds inside, and listen as they’re unleashed on the world. We have 3 more amazing Ampworx Preamp pedals coming soon, so stay tuned…Cheers!!
