Ooooo.
This set up melded really well.
Probably because I didn't have mids upon mids upon mids.
Plus I has some girth. Major low end booty.

I love you, man, and I'mma let you finish, but you're completely wrong on that.
Case in point, my Plexi reissue. Awesome amp, whose awesomnity is in no way diminished by the fact that I have a pair of dirt boxes on my board that I would use with the amp for any gig or jam session. In fact, part of the amp's impressiveness stems from the way it takes pedals. As Hugh already said:
Hugh Jaynus wrote:Well, with a single channel amp, and the need for high gain............the only practical choice are pedals.
But I'll take that a step further and say that I have actually converted fully now to the opinion that using pedals to boost a mid gain amp into high gain actually sounds better than a high gain amp. Now, the amp has to produce a good amount of awesome crunch on its own, first ~ and mine does. But using pedals/boosts to go from there allows extra tone shaping and flavoring and just makes it easier IME to get a fantastic high gain tone than I've generally gotten/heard from an amp & guitar alone.
However, I am aware that what I just posted is an opinion; therefore, I wouldn't say a dedicated high gain amp or high gain channel "sucks." Gnome sane?
No hard feelings, though ... I just can't quit you.

Re: Resetup my shit.
I'm in the stoner rock camp........loud clean amp with big lows hit with a fat fuzz or ballsy big distortion.
In my current band, I don't particularly need clean cleans....but I do need some sort of quasi-clean for a couple parts.
With the efficient speakers I use, I don't particularly get the JTM cranked up enough to really have some gain going.
I can tell it's starting to get saturated, but just on the edge of distorting.
