It'll sit nicely in the switchable preamp loop of a Lexicon MPXG2. So I can have both the richness of searing leads and crispy, solid state cleans...depending on what the power/speaker set up is. (ATM - 5w Princeton Tweed combos)
So now the question is...IIC+ mods or not...?

They don’t.

Before the internet no-one gave two thoughts to this sort of thing!

I ended up getting a Triaxis, JMP-1 AND a Studio pre. Love the Triaxis but it needs a new vol pot and power switch. I'm struggling to get a sound I like from the Studio pre even though it was the most expensive by far, and I may end up replacing some of the valves as it's sounding a bit spongy and woofy. I also nabbed a Carvin Quad X pre but I'm going to let that go at some point because it needs a lot of dialling in to get even vaguely attractive tones.
Power amp is an old Marshall 20/20 for 175 quid which sounds alright but it needs a new vol pot also. The Mesa 2:90 power amp prices are a little insane these days but I can get my hands on a VHT G2502 power amp for less. After tweaking, I can get the Triaxis within spitting distance of the JMP-1 and was surprised at how much I had to dial up the treble and mids. It sits in the insert loop of a lovely old Lexicon MPX-G2 so has the full on programmability of a rack. Just have to find the time to map it properly and set up the patches.
All of the above were wheeled through the Green Channel at my local airport in a single large suitcase in late summer!
Also nabbed a mint condition Fender Princeton Reverb II - the Rivera point to point ones which was shipped over with some other personal effects. It's a lovely amp and, perhaps contraversially, I like the overdrive on it. But the cleans aren't scooped enough to be those classic Fender cleans we're all familiar with. Still the Amptweaker Tight Rock sounds fabulous through it.
