Wow, that wasn't my experience with the JCM2000s at all. Which ones are you referring to--the DSLs or the TSLs? I had the TSL601 combo for a while, and it had boatloads of gain if you needed it, but I found cranking the gain on the clean channel made for a good moderately dirty tone, and I didn't have any problem getting tones between super clean and super chugga-chugga.

Of course, I did get rid of it because I didn't like the latency in switching, I found the clean tone really dull when using humbucking pickups, and the higher gain settings (like anything past 3 on the lead channel) were too harsh and grainy. All hail its successor in my pantheon of amps, the Rivera M100!

yea, i'm not totally satisfied with the clean channel on the fallen angel 60 head (but i did get a good deal on it). i'm thinking of selling that and buying a fender 65 super reverb reissue....but i'm just thinking about it. and maybe either using the genz benz 2x12 as an extension cab for extra bottom, or selling that and getting a zinky 1x12 instead (because it will be easier to carry, and zinky makes an outstanding cab).
