Members mcr23 Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 It sounds great and can definitely deliver the on several modes but I feel like the signal is kind of "busy". Plus the map has all kinds of noise going on at high gain. way more than other high-gainers IMO. I suppose a nopise pedal in the loop could fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not noisy at all, at least mine isn't.What do you mean by busy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Curtis.Fagan Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 Like several syn waves {censored}ing with each other busy... I find if you're in a naturally noisy room, it will do that to about any high gain amp, but the JVM especially will get those weird dead spots in the tone in a very noisy room. (IE: Neon lights and lots of buzzy electronics...) -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TornadoOfSouls Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 You didn't think your was any more noisy than the average high-gainer It's possible mine might have been a bit noisier because of the pickup issue I had.I'll try to make a video of what it sounds like with my Alexi's or my Vixen.It's not noisy at all.

Members mcr23 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 It delivers the while playing but then I stopped and there was this wall of buzz going on. I felt like a bug next to one of those blue zappers.I was sitting there thinking, "Damn, man. I'm using 'buckers "But maybe Cuz is right...pickup failure. EDIT: I think the volume was at noon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I think the volume was at noon It could be a bad preamp tube. My Single Rec had a lot of white noise for a while, then V3 {censored} the bed. It sounds a lot better now, but I still use an ISP Decimator in the loop and in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members atrox Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 Did you have pedals in front powered by an AC adapter (other than an isolated unit like a voodoo pedal power)? My JVM hated that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tommy Horrible Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 Your problem is your using to much gain, and on the JVM it's almost unlimited how much gain you can dial in, all the way to pretty much pure white noise on the Od red channels with the gain maxed. If your not used to Marshall's that generate {censored} tons of power tube distortion your quint little bedroom level broots tone is going to become a screaming kicking beast you can't control if you keep the pre-amp gain at the same levels as when you crank the JVM and start breaking up those EL34's. As opposed to newer fangled amps like the 5150 or Recto that have real cold biases and contribute almost zero power tube saturation. It's like a see-saw. You have to balance out the Power tube distortion and the Pre-amp distortion. You won't want as much pre-amp gain at high volumes as at low volumes to achieve similar tones.

Members Tommy Horrible Posted October 6, 2009 Members Share Posted October 6, 2009 I had the gain at 1-2 o'clock still hissed. See I never turn the gain on the OD1 orange past 10'oclock using a Les Paul with a 500T in the bridge. That's all gain you need for Slayer tones. 2' oclock is a {censored} ton of gain on the OD1. I would assume at that point it would be hissing squealing like a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play melodic death metal and thrash and with my LP Custom with BKP Painkillers I don't turn the gain above 10 o'clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
