I have a JC120 preamp pedal, but I built it. I am not sure of any commercial units. Maybe one of the Boss modeler pedals?What about sources for clean? A lot of fender stuff sounds surgical.
Does someone make a jazz chorus preamp?
what opamps were used back then?I have a JC120 preamp pedal, but I built it. I am not sure of any commercial units. Maybe one of the Boss modeler pedals?
Lush 80’s, like Def Leppard which I know was a Rockman X100 from the brilliant Tom Scholz of Boston.What is the amp/setup? @mentoneman had the perfect rack setup in that rig rundown video he did.
Can you give an example of the tones you're after? Lots of bands/players that were not metal had some cool clean tones back then. Post Zeppelin Robert Plant, INXS, Pretenders, etc.
The JC120 doesn't have Opamps. It is a 4 stage FET based preamp.what opamps were used back then?
I’ve considered the idea of building my own rack JC120 preamp.
What do you mean about Fenders sounding surgical ? Too bright ? Scooped ? Strident ? Too hifi ?Lush 80’s, like Def Leppard which I know was a Rockman X100 from the brilliant Tom Scholz of Boston.
I know there’s a Rockman RMS 100 pedal kinda in the works from someone.
Jazz chorus sounds too scooped in the mids and fenders sound too surgical to my ears? I know there’s a plethora of effects to drench it in but I’m really struggling on the just getting the source for the clean side of things sounding right. Nothing I have can do it.
Pretty much the questions I been asking. A Twin below 4 sounds pretty much lifeless but beyond 4 or more it starts getting juicy and very lush to my ears. The speakers will definitely make a difference in your clean tone experience.What do you mean about Fenders sounding surgical ? Too bright ? Scooped ? Strident ? Too hifi ?
What guitar ? Speakers ?
This, I use the studio preamp for it's fantastic cleans...., hard to do much better!The Mesa Studio Pre was the go to clean preamp in a rack solution, try that with a tube poweramp and a pair of those Mesa half back cabs. Doesn’t get more 80s lush than that.
