I have concluded that the JSX might be the perfect metal amp out of the box... perfect midrange, nice smooth, thick tone, articulate, good cleans, noisegate, resonance/presence controls, phat switches, etc.
I agree totally with that...my 5150 II I thought was the best sound straight out of the box...until this. I think this head will be the next 5150 for the next couple of years.
Sound damn fine indeed, the clip: both playing wise and tone wise, reminds me of old Arch Enemy. The only thing i dont like about it, is that the highs seem a little fuzzy and undefined for my taste, what cab/speakers did you use?
Thanks...like I said before...the EMGs arent wired properly so thats the fizz. Once I have the electronics done and the setup I'll post better sounding clips. BTW thats my 1960B cab with 75's
