Nah, that's where your POD belongs!

What did you get to replace it, if I may so ask?

 

[scarr3d]

i'm going for the BOSS GT-6.

 

[Dead Eternity]

maybe it was a bad decision.

 

[scarr3d]

nah, i had good times with the POD. we just grew apart that's all.

 

[scarr3d]

better hurry everyone. 9 days left!!!

 

[xenophobe]

GT-6? Ouch. Well, as long as your happy, that's what matters.

 

[scarr3d]

hehe. what's not to like about the GT-6?

 

[xenophobe]

Well, I've never heard it with a tube amp... the effects just sound too forced, and I didn't particularly care for the distortion either. One of my guitarists has one... The pedal buttons tend to go bad on them too...

 

[scarr3d]

hmmm. i've had nothing but good experiences w/BOSS gear. your ears are not right, or something.

 

[Dead Eternity]

I had a boss me-33 and the distortion was too muddy..

 

[xenophobe]

scarr3d, it doesn't really matter what I like, if it works for you, that's great.

Of course, I have opinions about everything, but what is good for the goose... as the saying goes.

I'm saving up for a TC Electronics G-Major, cause I don't need outboard distortion (my preamp does that superbly). Best bang for the buck under $2000 (compared it to an Evantide 3000, and for a $450-$600, it smokes it).

 

[scarr3d]

yeah, i want that G-Major as well. thing is, i'm not happy with the distortion on my head. (JCM 800) so, until i can afford a new head, i'll have to go with something that can provide good distortion. do you happen to know which marshall's have the highest gain? JCM 2000 series?

 

[7 Dying Trees]

For gain in the marshall, put a booster pedal in front of the preamp, sort of like a boss DS-1 , should make it a bit better

Don't get a JCM900 or later. They aren't too good. But an 800 with boosted input signal should do nicely

 

[scarr3d]

i've tried everything in that dept. can't get the sound i want. i'm trying to get the purest marshall tone, just more gain. dig?

anyone here have any experience with a JCM2000 or rack mount marshall stuff?

 

[The Wanderer]

the JCM 2000s are ok for what they are. they get pretty loud and the tone works great. i think they sound alright live, esp for heavy chording and such. they get muddy if you do a lot of bouncy picking and stuff thoug with string skipping or whatever. they dont work for what serberus does....

i think they sound pooey i the studio though.

and damn, you got 255 for that. fuckin crazy. you can ge the for 250 new from musicians friend. fuck man, you ripped that dude off. good job.

 

[xenophobe]

255, but he had the footswitch with it too.

The JCM 2000's suck IMO.

If you have an 800, an overdrive or DS-1 would be good to ram the preamp... much better sound....

 

[scarr3d]

*i* didn't rip off anyone, they did the bidding. and they got free midi cables, hehe.

it's very strange...the DS-1 doesn't hardly do anything. the metal zone works tho, after a lot of tweaking.

anyone familiar with the rack mount marshall gear? like a JMP-1?

i was joking, given ya shit. its their fault for paying that much. good for you for getting it out of em. heeh.

my old guitarist used a marshall power amp. it worked pretty well, forget the model though. 90/90 sound right? i dunno.
