Marshall JCM800 2203 vs Mesa Triple Rectifer Multi Watt

[Simon Dorn]

Yeah. I wouldn't worry about zack wild or any musician on that level. They have sound guys that are adjusting their rigs, and they have it going through racks and all kinds of shit with effects.

I was taljing more about how to set up the tone of the amp before all the other stuff. That said, if you cant use the master, then yeah...probably thin.

But your op marshall tone, while not really marshall works really welll for that style

You said you never played a 2203, right?

I will just say this last one thing. Because i am trying to tell you how to fix things that i see on your dials. If you have preamp gain maxed on amp and tubescreamer gain maxed on pedal, then you are going to get a dark flubby mess. When i seee that with treble higher than presence, that is why i say start with presence dimed.

Presence gives you gain, but the higher register, tighter gain. So the preamp gain is gojng to give you more bass as it gets higher, and the tone is going to be less tight.

The treble acts as high end, but makes it scratchy and you can hear it when you pick the strings.

The mids don't have to be high, but are a taste for whatever sound you are going for. The bass, treble, mid, and preamp gain are as low as you can have them and have the full sound you want. If you have to max one...nbd. But it is a guide for how to begin the shaping.

Once you have all that, introducing a clean boost or two would be what you do. (No distortion from pedal)

Then you do the final shaping to sculpt it.

That is my opinion on a marshall circuit. All im saying is try it and make the same clip. I would like to hear it

At the end, you are shaping the tone to your speakers with everything introduced and you have recording volume set. Then you could bump the distortion on the pedal if you still need more nasty. If you have to max that and the preamp gain on amp, you have the wrong amp

Pretty sure he's able to dial in his own sound.

I was talking about the settings, btw. And it's not about "that level". They're just guitar players like anyone else.
Pretty sure they already dialed in an Amp. Each of them. Me included. Even you.

Nope. But almost every circuit i played is based off of it

Im not saying they don't know how. I am saying ac/dc or any of those on those huge tours have techs that dial in their shit.

The settings they post is for guitar magazine so they can put on the cover that they have amp secrets. The amp settings matter little when using different speakers/boosts, etc

 

[S̷͖͑m̵͎͂á̵̺s̸͚̈́h̴̬̑]

Yeah. I'm not trying to fight with you. Most of your clips are fucking nasty. You just had that one that sounded fizzy and thin. I was trying to give you a different perspective on how to dial a marshall from the beginning. It is a very simple circuit, but knowing what each knob does in the circuit can give you insight.

I hope any of it helped
