Hell-o

I have used these settings for my main tone:

In front of the preamp i have a Boss RGE-10 EQ, here are the eq settings: http://muusikoiden.net/dyn/tori/156268.jpg

And then the preamp:

OD-1 channel | gain: 16 | bass: +6 | middle: +1 | treble: +2 | presence: +2 |

Kickass Slayer-tone

I have it and I use it for demo recordings.
My signal path is:
BCRich USA with a PAFPro in Bridge position -> JMP-1 (Speaker simulated line-out) -> H&K RedBox (also Speaker simulation on) -> DI Box (which is a cheap crap) -> Soundcraft desk -> Motu -> Nuendo

But the DI Box is so crappy that it takes almost everything from the signal. Still I get a sound I can work with (I just boost the highs about 2 - 3 dB).

In Nuendo I just cut the bass on the guitar tracks (somewhere around 140 - 180 Hz depending on the Q) and add the Waves C4 with Andy's setting (just tweaked a little).

Off course when adding vocals I have to make some room for them ....

I don't have a sample here right now and I have no clue about the settings on the JMP-1 'cause I haven't changed them for a long time but, if you like, I can look for them on the weekend.

the JMP-1 REALLY needs an amp and cab combo to make it work. they do sound good but they are not meant for di recording no matter what those things say on the back of them woth those Di thingys

Love Curran

By no means the best tone in the world, but I reamped THIS SONG through one.

that doesn´t sound so bad at all.
can you tell me something about the preset you use; and the amp/cab/mic???

 

[Machinated]

Yeah, can't remember the settings really, just played around with it for a bit. I think I used a PodXT Tube Screamer emulation before it. The preamp went into a Marshall EL34 100/100 poweramp and then into a 1960. That was mic'd with a 57 very slightly off axis into a Presonus pre, and then into a MOTU 896HD converter.

I always had great success with mine when I owned one. I wish I still had it. I used it with a Marshall EL34 100/100 power amp. I replaced one side with 6L6Gc tubes. I also used it with a Peavey Classic 120/120 power amp which sounded a little better.

I ran a Rocktron intelliflex unit before the poweramp and did some post EQ, then ran the whole rig into a Marshall 1960 vintage cab but that preamp sounds a little bright with V30s. I bought a regular 1960A cabinet with celestion T75s just for this preamp and I thought it sounded much much better.

This is the same setup that Stephen Carpenter from the Deftones uses and I absolutely loved his tone on Around the Fur.

Here's the only clip I have left of it (Not the best either). I was recording a band a few years ago and messing with their mic positions on this sample.
JMP-1 into the Peavey poweramp then into a Marshall 1960A > SM57 straight on, 1 inch to side of center. No post EQ.

Jmp1-marshall el34 100+100-bbe-midiverb4- Marshall 1960
But my cobra sounds better!!

I worked with a band a few months back with a JMP-1 based guitar rig and I got an awesome tone out of it for the style of music (I only did guitar tracks and consulted on the guitar tracking, the mixing etc is Karl Groom)

Check out the first three tracks on the Crimson Tears MySpace player, there's just two tracks of guitar.

I had one I used an old blue face mxr eq in the loop, keep the level on the eq down or you can blow out the xsistor controlling the loop, into a VHT 2150 into a vintage ampeg v4 cab with v30'2. Sounded great.
