I can take it. Did I read you were so pissed you threw it out in the trash? LOL. That is as bad as me. UPS fucked up my Uberschall I bought from Kage way back when so I pile drove it into the ground if you recall. I dont have a weak stomach!
Thanks a lot man, you are a kick ass player with discerning ears from I have gathered so I really appreciate the nice words. I remember an old Mob Rules clip you did way back. probably HCAF days iirc. Thanks again. and yes. the JVM has way too much gain. od 1 never goes past 10 or 11...
Thanks man. Too kind but much appreciated! Cheers!
I had one before and I liked it but sometimes I would hear a sterile component to the tone and others not so much. Same goes this time, but my ears are hammered. and half the time so am I. LOL.. It is fun to play that is for sure.. Is...
I will try that more. I play a bunch of Rush tunes and the clean and crunch modes do those tones pretty good. The smear factor kinda works good on some of it, because Lifeson did not have the most articulate tone... the wide flub of those channels kinda works in a weird way. but..... yeah...
I have not tried that yet for crunch tones. Thanks for the tip. That "plexi trick"others have posted is what I did for this clip .. more or less. I have a Plexi and it definitely sounds better at THAt tone, but the JVM version of that tone on OD2 Red is pretty damn decent imo, and the OX...
I hear ya. The crunch does not have the clear, punchy,bark of an 800 or JMP. Sometimes I think blah and others it sounds good enough, considering the versatility, features and new pricing.
Thanks a million for the vote of confidence. I read so many harsh comments and critique of people tone and playing that posting a clip was a bit nerve racking. I just recorded the clip to try out the OX and a MacBook Air which II recently got. first attempt and it sounded better than I...
That is far too kind and generous an assessment, but very much appreciated and the positive feedback helps break the ice so to speak. I will post more clips. maybe a/b/c the 77 2204, JVM and Plexi?
I was trying to get as close to my 1959HW as I could. Settings....Master was about noon. OD 2 red.. Channelvolume cranked ,pre amp gain barely cracked, Mids dimed, bass and treble presence about 10 oclock. Resonance cranked. For me the real surprise is how good that EPI 355 sounds and plays...
Epi 355 is one of those inspired by Custom Shop Alex Lifeson look alike models. It has Gibson Custom Shop PUPs of some sort. Custombuckers I believe. It is a great guitar despite being an Epiphoney.
Thanks. I got mine new with good guy discount for 1550 to my door. Cant complain! I like it and I hav had LOTS of "more premium " amps but this things sounds good to me in the house setting. Trying it in band setting Monday.
