I'm glad you like them! The interaction between gain and treble has taken me a seriously long time to get used to. If you listen closely you can hear the point at which the amp becomes too saturated with gain. In other words, if you set the gain at noon and then increase the treble from, say...

I was naughty and turned the amp up to ~10 o'clock in my terraced house this weekend - loud... but sounded so good! As per the settings thread, I'm still hunting down those metallica tones. I'm using the following (or approximate too): Channel 3 Gain (pulled) - 10:30 to 11:00 Presence: either...

I had a go with both the Empress EQ and the MXR 10 band this evening. Eh - it sort of works... if you follow the frequencies quoted above exactly, rather than "the CD" you end up sounding like a single track verion of this... or in the same ball park anyway, but not exact -...

I'm sure you've checked this and would know the difference ... But presumably the fan has to whir away quite a bit.

Looks super - great job!!!

So... here we have the setting for the rhythm guitars on the AJFA title track (which incidentally are the same settings as Blackened). Very conveniently, the two EQ settings are explained here: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=50309#p463819 I don't have access to fancy rack...

^ Those look fun will try them out! I have an empress para EQ and an MXR 10 band, so I should be able to get somewhere near the 'Justice' tones. I did have a very quick go last night with AJFA settings with the 2 EQs active and it did sound virtually identical, but admittedly very thin outside...

I completely agree :) Also, I've been having a look at Rasmussen's Metallica settings and looks like my settings above are ' 'way off', but it still has that distinct vibe so clearly the album has a 'boogie' sound! Going to have a go at translating some of Rasmussen's settings onto the JP-2c...

Take that as a loose guide, but I think the above was in the ballpark of 'master of puppets' tone for channel 2. I'm pretty sure the prescense is pushed here, I'm aware it's in 2C mode when pulled, so if you want pulled you'll need to roll it back to absolutely no more than noon IMO, so feel...

There is a slight difference - IMO the Mark V is slightly 'narrower' sounding (I use that word rather than 'thinner' because that sounds negative) but would be impossible in a blind test to tell which is which, without visual prompts, when the drum track is also on. I expect it's a 'venn...

Right - as promised, here's a piccy! :P The impression I have, from an hour of playing, is that the distortion is so thick yet so... 'tight'. There is very little mush. I have previous tried to overcome this by putting a tubescreamer in front of other amps to drive them (on top of a lower...

It's here!!! Going to plug it in shortly - first thoughts: The 2x12 vertical cab is insane! It's enoutmous - lol where will it go... The box of the JP2C ands it's tag says it has a serial number in the 400s, woo, but I can't find anything confirming that on the head itself...? It didn't come...

With any luck it'll be here in the morning! Fingers crossed its survived shipping etc - so excited. I'll post unwrap pics etc tommorrow together with impressions :)

Wasn't lying - just got home at 11:19pm!! Delivery scheduled for tomorrow 8)
