Thanks. It's on the cards

I asked my amp tech about modding my JMP100 MkII MV so I can run an Amptweaker Tight Metal Pro straight into the power section, bypassing the JMP's preamp. I have heard this is how the pedal works best. The tech responded enthusiastically saying he has done this mod many times. He said it is...

Thinking of getting my Marshall JMP100 MkII MV (1980) modded to allow me to put the Tight Metal Pro straight into the JMP's power section rather than sticking the pedal out front. Do you think this is a worthwhile mod? I will also get some boost and a serial lopp. It is going to be done...

I thank you are right. I haven't heard another distortion pedal that gets that evil.

Looking for modern evil in a box for my JMP100 MkII. Want o give Amptweaker a go but torn between the Tight Metal & Fat Metal. Watched all the comparison clips and more confused than ever. The Tight seems to have a really evil snarl where the Fat seems too ill defined. However through my rig...

More necro action. I have a JMP2203 MkIi MV. No FX loop. Would the TM Pro work with this amp? Maybe I could get an FX loop added to the JMP so I could bypass its preamp. It seems that when placed out front the satisfaction levels with this pedal drop. That's confusing me. Is this pedal actually...

I've read a couple of times that people like to use the TM pedals as pre amps. They plug the pedal directly into a power amp. They say it sounds better than placing the pedal in the front of a guitar head. I have a Mesa DR head and Recto cab rig I never really bonded with. It was too mushy for...

I just bought a 1980 Marshall 2203 JMP MV Mk II and a JCM900 4 x12. Totally different to the DR. I'm really liking it. It is not as thick as the DR but cuts harder. When playing full chords the response across all 6 strings is more balanced. It's not better, just very different. I am getting...

So you connect the "headphone out" of your iPad running BIAS to the FX return in your head with a special conversion cable?

Has anyone here actually done this with a Mesa Dual or Triple Recto? steinmetzify has got me gassing for Jamup and filled me in on how to make it work in a live setting with my Dual Recto & Recto 4 x 12 rig. I wanted check if anyone has this exact setup. The loop is parallel in the Recto, maybe...

Thanks. I have the following that can provide boost; Maxon OD9 Pro+ - to be honest this doesn't do a whole lot to the tone when the gain on the DR is cranked up. Maybe I'm using it wrong. Drive at minimum, level at maximum? Tone change almost imperceptible. It does sound good when used with my...

Went to my local to try some Marshalls while I wait for the Mesa EL 34s and MXR 10 band (thanks steinmetzify). Here are my findings after a quick play at fairly modest volumes; Blackstar Series 1 100 W - shop dude suggested it and it was pretty good. Not enough to convince me. Seemed to lack...

I've got some Mesa EL34s coming with a Canadian relative in May. I'm not paying $67 a tube here in Oz. Tried dropping the gain too and that helped. That Marshall chainsaw haunts my dreams though.

Thanks man! However I'm in Australia so by the time I sent it back to you the $ in postage might have been better spent on buying one here. I do have an Empress Para EQ and have recently started experimenting with it in the loop. The results when in the loop compared to out front are massive. I...

I'm in the throes of selling my Dual Recto rig. It's too muddy for me. I want evil tones but also grind and cut. I'm starting to really do my head in perusing all the options out there. I'm starting to think, keep it simple stupid, buy a Marshall rig and turn the f%#?ing thing up. Don't want to...

Best explanation I've read. Cheers!

Thanks so much! Friendly Canadians rule ;) I'll post a diagram for analysis when I get to it. The G String manual says the G String should be the last pedal in the chain. However if I have it correct this isn't always the case. For example, we have decided the delay should go in after the G...

Thanks a lot. Great help. So I just keep the EQ in the loop but take care to keep the boost at zero and no amp damage will occur? When the EQ was in the loop, the problems with the EQ providing too much signal also seemed to be soothed a great deal by also setting the input pad at -12dB. Is...

Thanks. I have made some progress. Now the main question surrounds placement of my Para EQ and the G String. I will post a diagram when I can, meanwhile here is a description of the situation. I have a 3 Ch Dual Recto, G String Decimator, Empress Para EQ w/boost, Flashback X4 delay, Maxon OD9...

I have a Dual Rectifier, OD9 Pro+, Flashback X4, Fuzz War, Voodoo Wah, G String Decimator gate and an Empress Parametric EQ. I cannot for the life of me get the G String to work in the loop. When placed in the loop all sorts of bizarre noises are created and the amp sounds like it has a massive...
