hello im new here, long story short is a year ago i got a jvm wich is a great amp and all was well. im self employed so things got tite and had to get rid of jvm and pay some bills and settle for a (lessor) amp well i ended up with 1000us and bought a jsx combo and hey it was nice but when turned up to play with loud drummer was not so good well i came across an 07 dr and took the jsx back and got the dr.....wow i really like it and think i ended up with an amp that better suits me and also the drummer says he can here it alot better than jvm, the dr seems alot louder for some reason. so i didnt end up with a lessor amp just a little different and i think tighter and faster tracking of notes also.
