i just bought the JMD:1 50watt head and i can't believe how great it sounds. i have several other "real" tube rigs and this head feels and sounds more tube than some of the real tube heads. i don't care if Marshall had Microsoft make the amp model software....they did a good job. bottom line...

next, i would like to pimp out the head case. maybe some white piping....who knows?

i heard that the old g12t-75's are more like a fat greenback and the new ones are more scooped sounding. that's truly the case with my speakers.

finally, i tried my old 1986 celestion g12t-75's. these speakers are WELL broken in and sound nothing like new stock versions. i compared these to my friends old 1972 Marshall cabinet with greenbacks and these sounds fairly close in the mids, but have a little more lows and highs. think of them...

boy do speakers make a HUGE difference in tone! my first test today revealed that the headphone cabinet out sounds almost the same as my cabinet loaded with celestion seventy 80's. which is cool if i wanted my rig to sound the same through my cabinet or PA system going direct. next up, the...

more thoughts on the amp; effects: the reverb is decent, especially compared to other amps built in reverb. the guitar stays up front in the mix even when using a ton of reverb, so they must have setup the reverb with several milliseconds of predelay before it kicks in. the delay has 4...

i just finished playing around with the marshall jmd:1 headphone sounds and i think the eleven rack sounds better direct. it's not bad mind you, but not as good as a properly tuned in eleven rack preset. i think most amp manufacturers use the same little circuit to emulate an amp out. it...

ok, so i got the head in and hooked it up to a 2-12" cabinet loaded with celestion seventy 80's. the speakers are fairly neutral to my ears, but i will try 3 other speakers to find the best tone. first impression? i didn't like it. lol. but then again i don't like anything out of the box...

i waited a few days to think about it some more.....then i took a vacation and cleared the gear thoughts from my mind. finally, i got some peace about it and ordered the Marshall JMD50 head from AMS for $539.10 shipped after using code WL711 for first time buyers (saved 10% off the normal...

line6 pod hd500. absolutely sterile piece of digital crap. i could not make myself like even one amp model. i was comparing it to a digitech rp1000 and a eleven rack...which both rocked.

thanks for the review IceMan. it's sounds like we are both on the same page tonally. i too questioned the haze40 model amongst other thinks you mentioned. my plan is to use the amp pretty much like you stated; it's not the Holy Grail, but a tool to jam and be inspired. when i want the Holy...

i have an eleven rack which sounds and feels better than the gsp1101 did, also have a tube preamp, and a blackstar head, but the issue becomes convenience and laziness. i get much less playing done when i have too many options to play with. in the end, i always end up with just 3-4 basic...

before anyone flames me for even mentioning these heads on this forum, i just wanted to add that some of us older 80's shredders no longer gig or can afford massive (or expensive) rigs because of family obligations...but we still want to shred when we get a chance. this topic is for us "old"...

been where you are and needed to get a variety of good tones for live and the studio. my advice is to get two things: 1) get a digitech rp1000. it has the effects/pedals you are looking for. i had the Gilmour and Trower tones all day long when i had the rp1000. why did i sell it? someone...

i did many modelers over the years, and i always return to a tube amp....just the feel and tone can't be matched, but you can still find some modelling tones that inspire you. i find that i can get by with something as simple as a digitech rp1000 using 4CM with a head of my choice.

i decided to sell off most of my gear and get something nice like a Surreal AKA head. anybody looking for some gear, email me @ rossjjohnson@gmail.com

me and VSA on the elevenrackpresets.com forum came up with a few king's x presets last year that are pretty close. i need to post some clips and see how they stack up.

i was thinking about buying some used 1U preamp for under $100 and gutting it to make a L5 preamp. of course it would be even cooler to throw the elite preamp section into the preamp's front end. all of that in one box would make my day. better still: someone make a Ty Tabor foot pedal...

i would like to have the elite preamp installed in my strat and have a custom L5 preamp section only.
