JSX was used for most of the leads that were tracked at Audiohammer.

Ah, but from later in the thread, after the album was released...

Andy, mind telling us what was used on final gats? 5150 or JSX + Krankenstein w/Boogie and a 57?

Andy said earlier the 5150 and Krank setup...I assume the usual 5150 and Krankenstein through a Mesa cab with V30's setup.

Right, but that was before the release... The Frenchmen informed me that he tried it with JSX, but wasn't sure what was on the final.

Andy himself is not sure either it's 5150 or JSX, Alzheimer my friends...
Checked my archives, apparently it is JSX + Krank, Mesa Cab with SM57

Saw that myself, I thought I remember JSX too, I only read the whole thread 2 days ago haha... Was just about to link to it and correct myself!

Funny, I just found a XXX for $450 and I think I may have to buy it.

Funny, I just bought one for $650 and Fedex dropped it, so it doesn't work, and I've been waiting for 3 weeks for them to review the claim. (The employee was caught on security camera dropping it.)

I had one several years ago in mint condition and regrettably sold it.

WHERE THE HELL IS THE $150 XXX. Shit is CHEAP. I would srsly DO IT if I could.

here's a short clip with the JSX crucnh-channel:

JSX Crunch

again, no tweaking on the amp, mic just placed by eye etc...it'll get way better with like 5 mins of tweaking

Ultra Channel:

JSX Ultra

Got settings for both channels? I likes them crunch tones, sir...

The 5150 is my favorite amp ever, and is a great studio amp. I'm not going to use one live again though, as it has a lame clean channel and the WORST FX loop ever! I also wish there was a power amp master volume on the 5150 - the "post gain" is simply the preamp - the poweramp is always AT FULL BLAST. Accordingly, if you have a pedal in your FX loop on a 5150 that has any dirty pots or components, the clicks and pops can literally blow your speakers and your eardrums if you're not careful. Better off not using the loop at all... end of rant...

The JSX is a way more versatile, modern amp that would be infinitely more usable live. But it will never sound like a 5150.

not sure, I think it was reso and pres on 12:00
treb on 11:00 mid on 10:30 bass on 12:30 gain on 12:00 on the crunch channel.
volumes were like they're on most of my amps...master maxed and channelvol on 10:00.
both loop pots maxed.

crunch channel:
mid:10
treb:12:00
bass:1:00
gain 2:00


...something like that

Daaaamn... so THAT's why that thing (and some other Peaveys) pops so loud when switching it off and stuff... :zombie:

And of course Bugehringer copied even that.
