Members RAR Posted October 26, 2005 Members Share Posted October 26, 2005 Your clips remind me of my old JCM 900 Dual Reverb 2x12 combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not yours, how are you liking the amp "after the honeymoon?" (I read several posts back that you weren't as satisfied w/ the 1x12.) Thanks.

Members atbear Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm about to buy one too... The amp seems to be right up my alley. Nobody around here carries 'em, so I'm going to have to just order one and hope it does it for me. Anybody want to add anything else to help increase my GAS any further?

Members Michael AE Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 Can anyone tell me if it has the Mojo that a JCM800 has? I need something that's easy to transport, but I've kinda fell in love with my 800. If it's close I need to try it, but otherwise, I'll just have to lug around my 800.Clips remind me of the 800 a bit, that's why I'm asking...

Clips remind me of the 800 a bit, that's why I'm asking... The second "Whitesnake riff" clip I posted really sounds alot like the amp in the room to me, it's Marshally but really has it's own sound too...it's thicker in the lower mids than an 800 and has more gain in the pre...you'd have to try it to see if you like it...I don't want to steer anybody wrong...I prefered my Carvin Legacy over my 1971 Marshall Super Lead and sold the Marshall (I'm sure some people would say that's crazy) so it's really all just preference...the name on the amp or the prestige of owning it means nothing to me...I like what makes me enjoy playing more...

Members atbear Posted October 28, 2005 Members Share Posted October 28, 2005 I bought one last night! I'm guessing it'll be here Tuesday! You're right... that did sound a lot like a Legacy... that's why I liked it so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right... that did sound a lot like a Legacy... that's why I liked it so much! Really???Well good luck, I hope you really dig it Drew! Try all the EQ controls at 12 O'clock ...it's a good starting point, and it sounds really good even like that...'boost' engaged, gain around 2 or 3 O'clock...

Upside down the tubes won't fall out, so it could be intentionally shipped that way...Try a JJ 12ax7 in slot 2 (middle preamp tube) it gives the amp even a little more gain and it sounds pretty smooth...I like the JJ's in this amp the best...

Members Speed_Racer71 Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 looks like its got Sovtek 12ax7s and Electro Harmonix EL34si wonder what some Tung Sols 12ax7s and some New Sensor Mullards would sound like?...later on i may tinker with the tubes..having too much fun now to mess with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Speed_Racer71 Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 damn randy ..now you tell me.. after i get everything put back together lol ..i actually have a JJ ecc83s , and ecc803s and a Tung sol 12ax7 lying around..i broke the tip of the tube off in my valvetronix so i ordered a few spare ones..i wonder if the JJ 803s will be too much gain since i think it has a tad more thank the 83s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Speed_Racer71 Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 i didnt have any prbs with the 803 in the vox...seems like it had a EH in it when i bought it..honestly i cant tell that much difference between the EH and the JJ...course its got a ss pwr amp to..that could be the reason to..

Members Speed_Racer71 Posted October 29, 2005 Members Share Posted October 29, 2005 i tried the JJ in V2..it does sound a little better..fuller , thicker, mid rangier i guess..maybe i should get 2 more and put them in V1 and V3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
