Joe thought the Triple XXXs Crunch channel had a really good lead tone, so that became the basis for the JSXs Ultra channel. To improve articulation, I reduced low end in the preampwhich can be restored with the Fat switch, although its done in a slightly different fashion for a tighter attackand I also reduced the gain because Joe thought the channel sounded a little too compressed. We experimented with different amounts of gain and midrange to get a screaming lead sound that was also articulate and punchy.
Joe really dug the lead channel of our Classic 50 for in-between sounds, so I modified the JSXs Crunch channel to sound more like the Classic 50. This involved reducing the gain significantly, and I also had to tweak the Crunch channels active EQ to more closely match the limited range of the Classic 50s passive EQ. "
