Mike Cole vs. the JCM 800: When Clean Meets Monster
Mike Cole dives headfirst into Marshall territory, swapping his usual clean Fender comfort zone for the legendary JCM 800—via a Synergy preamp module, no less. If you’re expecting polite blues licks, think again: this is a journey from glassy cleans to full-on cranked chaos. Mike’s style is all about honest exploration, and he brings his signature blend of curiosity and self-deprecation to the table. If you want to know how a classic rock street weapon stacks up in a modern rig, and whether it’ll melt your face or just your preconceptions, you’re in the right rave bunker.
