NEW Scar Symmetry !!!

JCM900 often gets underestimated - one of the most brutal yet warm sounding amps I've owned. Really regret having sold it.

My only nag with it is that it's FUCKING NOISY! HISSSSCREEEWWWEEEEEEE KSHSHSSKSHKSHSKSKHSKHS KHKHSSS SQUEEEEEEAAALALL LSSCHHCSSKAAHKWLKAWLKASLKHLSKCSKHCS

Hear ye:

http://koti.mbnet.fi/juhau/jcm900slx-saro.mp3 sorry for the clipping, had to make it stand out for selling the amp, and you know what happens when you master limit just distortion guitar without anything else :lol:
And the playing is just some random riffs on the fly without a click.

:lol: :erk:
 
The SL-X is a better metal amp than the Dual Reveb (understatement). The ones in the pics are Dual Reverbs, though.

As for mods, the first couple of stages of the preamp are basically sort of like a distortion pedal built into the front end of the preamp. There are some pretty easy mods that can be done to the preamp of the Dual Reverb that make it a lot better for metal stuff.
 
I enhanced the photos a bit in photoshop and this is what it looks like to me


Master CH B
Volume 10
Reverb 7


Master CH A
Volume 10
Reverb 3


Presence 4
Bass: i cant tell
Mids 0 or 1
Treble 9

Preamp B
Lead Gain 0 or 1

Preamp A
Gain 10
 
Ok so I went back and watched some of the videos from the tracking of the album and I found a problem with what Jonas said they used as guitars .....lol

On the video theres an Ibanez 8 string and a Dean Razorback 7

Even if something is shown in a video doesn't mean that it was actually used. They could have an endorsement that requires them to pose around with specific guitars/amps/socks for all public pictures and videos, while really using something completely different for the actual recording. Or maybe just fooling around with some random stuff, but in the end not ending up using them.
 
Man i wonder what type of mod they use on the 900. I thought those amps were almost like valvestates besides the tubes on the power amp.

This is inside one of the modded 900 used on latest Scar Symmetry....
