Posted at 00:45h, 25 AprilThe recording sound a bit “fizzy” to me, if you get me. But the tone seems to be very nice! 🙂 what speakers do you have in that cab ?

Posted at 02:23h, 25 AprilIt may sounds “fizzy” because the Master was set only on 1 of 10(?)
I don’t know… but I feel the same! 🙂
These are Vintage Marshall G12 16ohm speakers by celestion.

Posted at 00:39h, 26 AprilVintage 30s with Marshall decals? Well if so, I have an advice for you: Try to mike your cab from a distance! To capture the sound of V30s, close miking is not the case 🙂 Give it a try!

Posted at 00:40h, 26 Aprilclose miking works better with low wattage speakers, like Greenbacks

Posted at 00:44h, 26 AprilOh and also… try to build in a Lar/Mar type of PPIMV (you can find out more about it in the Metroamp Wiki).
The stock master vol. knob on these JMPs attenuate the signal BEFORE the phase inverter tube (V3). And typically, old-fashioned Marshall amps distort at the phase inverter. That tube is the soul and heart of your overdrive. For example if you dime a Super Lead, 80% of the distortion comes from the PI tube. So installing a PPIMV in your amp, and cranking the stock master vol. will take you MUCH closer to the full-on thing!
sorry for writing in many comments 😀 but things don’t come into my mint at once 😛

Posted at 15:34h, 26 AprilWow, thanks for the tips! 🙂
.. but nobody said, that it’s my Marshall. 😀
My brother owns it, but I’ll tell him about the PPIMV!
Say, what means this “Lar/Mar”?
I thought PPIMPVs are only designed for NMV-Amps?! :O

Posted at 15:49h, 26 AprilMore Master Volume you get and more compression you will add to the overall sound… PPIMV could be fine if you need only crunchy or distorted sounds but cleans are always “dirty” with that type of MV…
So it depends… Could be a great solution but in the end I prefer always the old MV … with some tricks 😉
Try a Secret-1 Overdrive (http://www.secretefx.com) in front of it and you’ll partially recover some of the bottom, punch, dynamics, 3D beauty you’re loosing with a traditional master volume. Guaranteed!!! \m/ 🙂

Posted at 16:25h, 26 AprilWell, the Marshall is already modified. It has a Fulltone Fatboost inside. One of the speakerouts was made into an input for footswitch over which you can activate or deactivate the boost…
but it’s only used for Solos..
The amp is only used for an overdrive sound, so the idea with PPIMV could be great 🙂

Posted at 21:05h, 23 AprilGreat Fil!
Ho acquistato il Secret-1 dopo aver visto il tuo video e… wow!!! Ora sto proseguendo con il lavoro del nuvo ampli…
Voglio assolutamente fartelo testare quando sarà pronto!!!
Cmq… GRANDE SUONO COME SEMPRE||| \m/
Buona Pasqua, Nick

Posted at 15:59h, 23 AprilVery nice,
Sounds something like Airbourne’s tone in the beginning.
Great playing 😀

Posted at 15:30h, 23 AprilKICKASS VIBRATO!!
How did you learn that? 😛
Guitarjosii
Posted at 20:18h, 23 Aprili have no idea, sir…
i guess i unconsciosly copied that from angus (?) ;D

Posted at 14:53h, 23 AprilBit too much gain for me but some nice playing. I think an shortened version would have been better though. 14 mins is a long time to listen. 🙂
Guitarjosii
Posted at 20:13h, 23 Aprili accidently put that part without the mids into the video twice, sorry for that 😀
rugster
Posted at 21:45h, 23 AprilNo worries! Fantastic playing, better than I could ever do 🙂 I’m really missing my JMP (at Marshall for a service), having to use GR at the moment which is fine but you can’t beat the real thing.
