Members T. Alan Smith Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 ...and expensive too!? Actually, I was surprised at how competitively they were priced. When I found out where they were made, it all made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SmallEQ Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 PJB amps are sure the prettiest out there, and certainly sound nice, but I worry about their QC. Too bad he feels mfg needs to be handled overseas. The PJB stuff is so completely overengineered. When the bomb drops all that will be left is old Peavy amps, PJB stuff and cockroaches. Plus, its not like he just outsources to the cheapest bidder. He actually owns and operates his own plant in China. Even if you don't like his stuff, he is certainly doing the overseas build thing in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JeffBass Posted November 26, 2008 Members Share Posted November 26, 2008 More reliable than GenzBenz? Do tell. Just some things I've read about some small amps having "cut out" problems... Nothing to see here. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked killer and sounded sweet, but I was afraid to touch them again after turning up the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeefJerky Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 What that means to me is that when I plug my bass into the LMII, leave all the controls flat, and play a note, it sounds fairly close to the sound I get plugging my bass into my DI and a mixer. EQ and tone controls not withstanding, to my ears, the LMII sounds like a pretty clear representation of my bass, without much added character. The EQ just acts to add color to this 'blank tone canvas'. Some other amps are known for their ability to make your bass sound 'growly' or 'crispy hi fi' or 'fat tubey', and so on. I'm sure the LMII has some character of its own, but to my ears, it's pretty subtle - to the point that even when I think I hear it, I would be hard pressed to describe it verbally. Ah that makes sense. thanks Probably why it sounded good, as I was playing some nice basses through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had much hands on experience with them, just interviews of PJ and photographs of his facility. In any case, if they are in fact poorly QCed, it has nothing to do with the country of origin.
