Good job, sounds good!

If I have time this weekend, I’ll make & post a video with the JP.

My III+ was originally a Green stripe. It was a good amp in original form, but was a little stiff and hash for my taste. So it was sent to Mesa for the “+” mod, which basically changes out some of the caps and resistors (I think) giving it a smoother gain & top end. I also had a triode switch...

Thanks Rich!

Hey everybody! I'm back with a new JP2C. It's been 2 years since I parted with the first one. I decided to get another one a couple weeks ago and give it another try. This time around, it's a MUCH better experience. Not sure what happened with my first amp, maybe I had a bad head (the amp, not...

You're gonna get rid of the JP2c again?

I just fired up the dual recto (reborn) tonight... ****, I need to start playing this amp more.

I sometimes use 45 watts at smaller gigs, but otherwise 90 watts for all other gigs. 90 watts just gives a fuller overall tone and more clean headroom. Outdoors the guitar tone will disappear quickly on 45 watts, IMO.

Sounds really good man. What mode you using?

Like some of you guys, I started out with IIc+ mode (triode) & GEQ for several years. I remember some of my best gigs/tone was with that. Recently, (actually since I decided not to keep the JP2C) I started playing around with IV mode & pentode, and have discovered a whole new love for channel 3...

Matt, I had the same issue with the JP. I had to set my master volume around noon to be heard in a band mix.

HA HA HA

Yeah...that does sound great! Nice playing too BTW. I'll have to try those settings too.

HA HA, that's awesome! Were you using your 2x12 or something different? That little amp is definitely a beast! With the volume at 11-11:30...it keeps up just fine with the band at gigs.

How did the tone sound at that volume? The loudest I've ever had my volume set was about 11:30 for small gigs. That was on C+ mode...Extreme mode would of been WAY louder.
