I have been tweaking my MR for literally years looking for its true spirit. I've had a lot (Really. A LOT) of amps come and go over the last 10 years or so, with most in the last 3 or 4. I have spent time tuning up multiple amps at a time, shooting out, combining with different cabs and load...

After seeing so many comments and vids about the LS reverb being incredible, I'm finding the LSS Combo reverb is not. I usually struggle with spring reverbs in any case, but I expected the reverb to be stronger/louder when cranked, and a bit richer. It seems anemic. It does work, so I doubt...

I'm an Andy Timmons fan, and always wanted to try out a LS. I was selling a Princeton Reverb LE and got a LSS combo as a trade. I love the amp. Definitely has that certain tone. The clean channel is gorgeous. Dirt channel has a fair bit of range, and can be altered by changing V1. Lots of great...

Had to try a Friedman. Just had to. They sound fantastic. But the ACE can do all that and more. More gain available. More access to modes and tones. I could be happy with either, but the ACE is a sick amp at half the price of the Friedman. https://youtu.be/Q3pkGHGLTss

After all these years I finally figured out what I like for tone, and the ACE kills it. It really is a super JCM800. A bit of shriek through the combo cab, but unbelievable through my recto vertical 2x12. The first time I tried this amp I HATED it. Didn't know what I really needed or how to...

My gateway drug to mesa amps was an F50 combo. I sat in with a friend's band and the guitarist had one. I one I had to have one and bought it soon after. I gigged it and rehearsed with it for about a year before trying a rack-based mesa setup. First a studio pre with 50/50 amp, then a triad is...

I recorded my JP-2C a year ago. Made some mistakes (like mics out of phase). Have new settings. I used the same source material. Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/user-436015192/sets/jp2c-test-recordings

I really had a good experience with the TC50, and I almost swapped the JP for one. But then I went home and played the JP and it really is an awesome amp! I guess my last round of tweaking the settings got me in the ballpark. It's all there.

I have been seriously disappointed with combos lately. I have moved to heads only. To me, combos tend to sound anemic or wonky. Adding an extension cab helps, but in a limited way, and makes the combo less useful. I'd really like a combo I could gig with. I tried the TC50 combo today (1x12 with...

When I tried the TC50, another guy was there. He had tried it before and after me. Not to ramble, but I had left my jacket at the store and when I went back after work, the guy was still there trying the amp. He told me that he had found a serious issue with tone changing when plugging into...

Great pickup! Good condition, sounds fantastic. https://reverb.com/item/3462082-dimarzio-dp704-evolution-7-string-bridge-pickup

More clips! I have new JP-2C settings here (more scooped, not so mid-heavy): https://soundcloud.com/user-436015192/sets/amp-comparison-11-5-2016 And a comparison of close-micing with farther placement (2' away) here...

Hi Guys, I have been running an experiment. I recorded guitars directly into my Apogee Duet 2 into Garage Band. I then ran the output at guitar-level into the inputs to all my amps. I recorded with/without delay and reverb, and with some different amp channels and settings. Note that I have...

I have the original head shell for my Dyne. It's just collecting dust. Great shape, still has the reverb tank. I just want to get rid of it. If you're local, it's FREE. If you want me to ship, just pay shipping (likely $50-$60).

I had a case made for my long-since sold Mark V:25. It's super nice, high quality, made by Studio Slips. I had them put a zip storage pocket on and the straps run under the bag so they are very strong. Clamshell opening for easy loading/unloading. $100 Shipped/PP

I still have the wicker trim panel I had custom-ordered from Mesa for my (now sold) Mark V:25. I kept it, thinking it would just be a matter of time before I bought another V:25. So instead I got a JP-2C :twisted: I paid $200 for the panel. I think it looks GREAT on the amp. $100...

Found a deal I just couldn't turn down. I ALMOST managed to walk away, but then I rewatched the JP Tone on Tour vids and I caved. Should be here by the end of the week! If only I had any idea how to get the effects that JP used in those vids. Especially the chorus in #2 and the delay at the...

I have a green chassis 11-knob Shiva with EL34 power tubes (80W) and dual reverb. Works and sounds great. Low hours on the tubes, plus I will throw in a brand-new replacement/spare set of EL34s. Maybe even some preamp tubes :) $1500 PP/shipped Or trade toward a JP-2C plus cash on my end. Also...

I have a High Gain Amp Switcher that I used briefly. Very good condition. $500 PP/shipped. Lots of info about them here: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=33585

I have been struggling a bit to get that beefy bottom end from my RA100, despite running a RA2x12 cab and turning bass up to 3:00. It's been good, but I want great. It occurred to me that 1. I bought it used 2. I always run it full-bore and then attenuate as required, even at home So I put in...
