That's a great demonstration of the units. I'd like one for my JP2C and am leaning towards the Empress EQ with all the bellz and whistles. I appreciate the video brother! While I could hear a bit of a difference between them, I'd be happy with either and would consider my quest for the best...

I had good luck loading up the JP2C preamp with slightly used vintage tubes, mainly 1950s RCA's. I wasn't happy with the stock JJ preamp tubes and after a good deal of swapping, landed on using vintage (I'm using a new Sovtek LPS in the phase inverter spot.)

I'm glad you're here, Brandon, keep up the good work!

Hi Bandit — would you say the MarkVII passes the C+ fx loop test? If the JP2C doesn’t, it would stand to reason the Mark VII wouldn’t either.

I saw your listing on Reverb - beautiful specimen. Best of luck.

Do you think I should go with a different color when ordering the STR448's? Grey, like you say, is the next step cooler. I think I can go with another color up or down safely, yes?

My August 2022 built JP2C (Schumacher transformers) came with STR 443. I will order a set of those STR 448’s (blu) from Mesa in the morning and report back my impressions after I get 10 or so hours of burn-in.

Thank you very much for the info and candid reviews / thoughts on Mesa tubes, Bandit! I may need to give those redbase TAD tubes a try in the JP2C as the JJ’s are just OK. I have about 100 hours on those tubes and they are … kind of underwhelming. I also play Tama’s, Artstar Custom ES’s from...

Hi Bandit — I too have a new JP2C and would lov3 a quad of Mesa 415s. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you have to give for a set of 4?

Howdy bud - did you sell any of the cabs? The GAS is killing me…

I'm also interested (and 300 miles away in Michigan unfortunately) -- but very interested! Were those straight cabs open at all? I don't recall...

Hi again dudes -- yeah, regarding the 'fizz', I did move the amp to a different outlet in a different room with a different cab (1x12 C90 cab) and it does indeed sound more correct and less buzzy/fuzzy. I think the cab I was dialing it in through is a bit too green. The amp has the same amount...

Thanks Eevil! The amp certainly is a beast! Perhaps someone on this forum can help me, however — I can’t seem to dial out the fizz… no matter how I’m setting the presence or graphic eq, I always hear a “ripping or tearing” type of fizz. Maybe it’s my 2020-built Mesa vertical 2x12? It doesn’t...

Hi guys - I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I wanted to share with the group my custom ordered JP2C which arrived from Sweetwater (I ordered through them 13 months ago) about a week ago. It's serial no. 1930, and was built in their latest run of JP2C's from mid-August through late...
