Belated NAD (JSX) new mic'd video added

[bubbastain]

Had a good amount of play time now. One improvement i made was swapping out the 12AX7 in V2 and putting in my old Ei 12AT7. Big improvement IMO. Less gain, better crunch and less compressed.
Here is a quick iPhone clip since my mic and interface are still in storage.



New video mic'd with a SM57

Sounds great. I run the volumes on mine the opposite way with high master volume and low channel volumes. Sounds bigger to me that way. You can also put a jumper cable in the effects loop and turn up the send and return dials to get more volume from the amp.

For sure - Crank the Master to about 10:00 o'clock and use the channel volume.
The JSX has always been a favorite of mine. They sound great with KT77's!

Hell yeah dude!! JSX was my dream amp all through college but I was too poor to get one. Eventually joined a band where the other guitar player had one and I got to play it all the time.

Man, I have not seen you in a minute

Good grief, that's killer. Stock amp?

My Triple X head doesn't sound anywhere near that good! Damn, I want a JSX head now.

Stock with the exception of putting a 12AT7 in V2 to reduce the gain a little. It also made it a little less compressed. As you can see i guess I'm kind of a gain wuss. Even with the lower gain tube and a 9.1k humbucker i still only run the gain knob at about 10-10:30 o'clock. I do turn on a boost briefly at about the 2 minute mark.
Maybe tomorrow I'll make a much higher gain clip.

Yeah man, I've been wanting to try a JSX for years. I'm definitely liking it. It's not replacing my VTM as my main amp, but it's a killer compliment to it.

Actually, the tones you got in the videos are what sold me on this amp. If I get another tube head, it'll be a JSX. Thanks for posting those clips!

What pickup, pot and boost are in the demos? I've always enjoyed your demos. You get killer sounds, man. Just killer!
