NEW AMP DAY!

[lolzgreg]

Here's my first clips.

My first half hour with this beast was great. I definitely like how linear the bass response of the amp is; no crazy peaks or valleys and very clear sounding!

Here's clips. Thanks for the DIs, Jeff

Greg you should take a picture on your amp collection as advertise for your reamping service man

 

[Soundlurker]

Sounds tasty

 

[kev]

Sounding good there, cereal shipping sneapster

 

[PhilTheBeard]

Sounds good greg i have always dug the jvm since they came out

 

[John_C]

Sounds great! Very clear. Was that with ts? what cab?

 

[Ashgarth]

Sounds great!

Which cab did you used for this clip?

 

[XxXPete]

sounds killer!

 

[MetalJonesy]

sounds good Greg, theres something in the upper mids thats bugging me, can't quite put my finger on it, could be the cab/mic contribution to the sound.

 

[bibz]

Marshall awesomeness! Fucking love this amp. I'd up the mids on the leadline bits though

It very well may be the cab/mic combo or my positioning. This was my first 30 minutes with the amp. I'm working on it

Finally I get to hear more of "Youniversal" with a better guitar tone haha. Sure as shit sounds 1000 times better than the POD Patch Jeff used haha.
You've just increased my JVM GAS by tenfold man, sounds fucking great considering you've only just gotten into the amp.
I love how you managed to achieve a nice biting tone, and good brightness, with very very minimal fizz. Very much the kinda thing I like to hear.

Why didn't you just reamp the whole song though? Or did you, but just cut it short?
I'd love to hear what it sounds like on the lead guitar bit too

 

[lolzgreg]

I got the amp on my break from work! It's only an hour. I had to unpack it, reamp, and toy with knobs. I like first impressions clips anyhows.

Glad you liked it. I'll be working on it much more in the future.

 

[MarcusGHedwig]

This could be the best clip I've heard from you dude Agree with Mark on the upper-mids, think dropping the gain slightly might help, but damn sweet!

 

[lolzgreg]

Thanks

I think I've made a small breakthrough with my guitar tones.

Remember, it was a first reamp. It's only going to get better

 

[AntonioPetrole]

Lolzgreg, it seems like you get a new amp every week! Congrats, im saving up and working like a french whore just to buy a used 5150 for $500, i cant even imagine how much you work for your gear.

BTW that clip sounds phenomenal

 

[Airborne]

Congrats! The JVM is killer.

 

[lolzgreg]

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I like negative comments as well, as you can get an outsider's view on things/someone who has different tastes than you.

Sounds great! Very clear. Was that with ts? what cab?

Maxon OD 820 Pro was the boost. Rectifier cab was the weapon of choice. SM57 captured it all.

Thanks. I've actually flipped a lot of gear as of late. I only have eight shelves, so I only have space for eight amps Unfortunately, I was saving up for a Fortin Natas (I was also one of the first people to be able to get one), but I had to spend my deposit money for a power regenerator/voltage regulator/ac filter for my studio. It's more important that all my gear is functioning at peak capacity than to own an awesome amplifier that may not even yield better results than what I have now. I mentioned in another thread that "enough is enough." Guitar amplifiers all start overlapping after a point. I think that every amp I own has it's own niche in respect to the other seven it's contending against. There's an amp that will work for every player and style I have encountered, so I suppose I'm good.

Cabinets really work in the same respect. Not all types of speakers are for everyone (that's for sure in my case- some just make me cringe), and I've chosen cabinets that have yielded great results and have landed on more recordings than you can ever think of. A '69 Spec Marshall Cabinet with [Heritage] Greenbacks was responsible for most of the '80's metal guitar tones (some of which happen to be extraordinary). I need not speak of the Mesa Rectifier Cabinet. The Engl Pro Cabinet has a really aggressive and forward mid range that is also V30 powered, yet sounds NOTHING like the Rectifier cabinet. Then I have a K100 loaded cabinet, which I'm still getting the hang of. It has something going on that I think will work great for some things.

Our own Eddy (Raw Machine) called me out for buying more amps as well, but I still only have eight

 

[Lasse Lammert]

yeah, I've just talked to sneap about that the other day....after a recording is done I often can't remember whether I used a Recto or 5150...and I can't tell although they SHOULD sound completely different.
I cut down massively on amps myself (got rid of the mk4, the engl, marshall etc).
Well, I do miss the 2203kk, that's why I'm not gonna listen do your lip, can't afford GAS atm

 

[Trevoire520]

Someone very close to me is selling one of these BNITB for like £600, I'm very tempted but I've just bought a SM7.
