Tonights Rehearsal Rig - JTM45

[Badronald]

Very nice tones.
Big and ballsy. Deep and glassy highs.

Just posting for fun.

The new Cantrell wah was great!

Nice rig bro. Classic stuff and quite the green carpet!

Curious, have you ever plugged into a Vintage Modern? I own one and I know they're kinda supposed to be a hot rodded JTM45-ish amp being that they're based on KT-66's as well. If so, how do they compare?

nice! What cab is that? Are those 12" speakers?

I did right when they came out. That was so long ago I really don't remember what it sounded like.
It was a Saturday at Guitar Center and it was noisy in there.
Sorry.

That's a Hermida (made by Alf Hermida who makes the Zendrive) ported 2x12.
I love that cab. Sounds big and focused.
It has two Vintage 30's.

Regarding the green carpet. That's in an office condo we are able to use at no cost. Big room.
Easy in and out rehearsal space. Portable p.a. For vocals.
Works well.

That picture is proof that the grass is always greener when you're playing a Marshall

Any chance we could get a demo walk through of some of those tones? I'm interested in hearing what the bogner sounds like through your rig. Is your JTM on the verge of breakup or clean for the most part with the pedals driving the amp?

Nice rig. I've been gassing for a JTM45 lately. Can't decided between that or a mid 60s Bassman.

I'm at work now, but......Most, probably 90% of gigs I play, I cannot get the volume up past 4 or so on the JTM45. So I mostly run the amp very clean and get all of the dirt from the Bogner, Fulltone or Keeley dirt boxes. Once in a while I can crank it and it's beautiful.

With the Stratocaster you see there I can roll off the volume and it's very clean, even with the gain up on the Bogner. It has a Dimarzio Injector at the bridge. For heavy stuff I keep the tone knob down to about 7 for a fat tone and when I roll back to clean up I roll the tone knob all the way up to get sparkle.

The Bogner itself sounds great. I do think I prefer it with a humbucker. I use Suhr Aldrich and Dimarzio Super Distortion humbuckers.

The ported cab sounds big and deep, I just have to be careful to run the bass down so it doesn't overwhelm.

The truth has been spoken.

I've had Bandmasters and old Bassmans and I absolutely love them.

With the dirt pedals that are out there these days, the old Fenders have become much more useable to me in band/gigging situations. I'll probably end up with another old '65 Bandmaster sooner or later.

Very nice!

The JTM45 is my favorite Marshall ever. I would love to own one someday.

green with envy nice setup

 

[WizardSouth-JP]

Great amp, very pedal friendly for running in front of an amp (obviously)

 

[jlbaxe]

I had a Fat Strat Candy Apple red just like that. Sold it on here and guy said the action was WAY high maybe I should have adjusted it before and kept it

Sweet set up. Bet That amp can pull out some Eric Clapton tones

I've played many pedals through it and they all sound incredible.

Yes, great Clapton tones, Yngwie, EJ, Blackmore, Angus. The tones of my heroes.

Can you play any mini golf on that carpet in between sets
