What rig you jamming on this Friday night ?

How would You compare the JP2C and IIC++ RI?
The JP is more modern, smoother, compressed, darker sounding, the IIC++ reissue more classic vibe, more crunch and mids, brighter and more open sounding, i like the reissue more than the jp because the mids sit better imo, both are great amps, i love them. Most of the time i use my uberkab with these amps, i like how that cab sounds with them. My band days are over now, but i know i would like the reissue in a band mix better than the jp.
 
Some sort of loud box thing under there doing that haha (it was hot AF)

Sounds great indeed. I go back and forth as far as using two amps blended and just one amp depending on what I am playing. It is pretty addicting wall of sound for sure but sometimes a single amp works better for me. One thing I find is that with two amps is it introduces a bit more noise and also some amps sound weird together. For example If I switch to the clean channel on the JB45 it sounds really weird blending with the Plexi which ironically has loads of gain and compression when running wound up with the Powerstation. But when I use the gainier channels on the JB, it blends perfectly. If I run the plexi cleanish and use pedals for gain, it is the opposite. Same thing when I had Friedmans. Be channel on DLX and PLexi channel on JEL did not work together. Seems the tone of each amp needs to be similar in terms of compression or they dont blend well at all. The Snorkler on either channel seems to blend really well with the PLexi/powerstation. I can only imagine what the Larry/Hermansson sounds like. What do you use as as an ABY? Do you run them W/D or do use stereo fx. I go back and forth with that to, but most often Plexi dry and whatever other amp I blend in wet. I really like using the wah into one amp only to retain more thickness and chunk to the sound while still getting the wah effect. Fun stuff for sure!
I use a keeley Framptone . It takes care of all phase and noise issues with switches . I run one big wall of mono . I don’t like stereo .
 
Practicing some Bach to try to get some facility back in my fingers (haven’t been playing much lately) and then various pedals through my old 6g6B bassman. I really need to put new speakers in that cab. It has old 80’s EVs. I keep trying but I just don’t like EVs for anything but clean cleans. A bit of mandolin strumming too.

Full room rearranged and now working on my new recording interface to hopefully do some clip experimentation (reamping, which has not gone well so far)….
