Hello all - I am just getting back into real tube amps after a few years in the modelling world (line 6 helix) - I've previously owned a Mark V, JP-2C and a mini rectifier. I sold most of my gear, and just wanted a nice simple tube amp - preferably a Mesa, but had to have something that...

Just got the mini rectifier. Plugged it in and was a little worried at first. Seemed to get real muddy and hissy cranked up - master above 2:30 sounded real disappointing to me on the high gain channel. Finally hooked up my Helix to it 4CM and it's a different beast altogether just...

After being on the fence I ordered a Mini Rectifier. Was an open box special and decided to grab it. I was first looking to downsize my rig - and was initially going to sell my JP-2C... I couldn't do it - that amp is just too good to part with... So I decided to sell some other equipment I...

Really on the fence about selling of my JP-2C and going with something much smaller - Mini Rectifier. As much as I love the JP-2C - it gets largely unused now that my band has decided to really tone down our gigs and only do 4 or 5 a year. I just ordered the Mini Rec and have 30 days to...

I was selling my EBMM Majesty - and someone had a brand new JP-2C he offered in trade. Apparently he wanted both the guitar and the amp, but the guitar is severely back ordered right now. Purple Bronco - only 2 days old. I may sell my current JP-2C seeing I wasn't in the market for another.

I left my JP-2C and vertical 2X12 cab at my drummers because we've been doing a series of rehearsals for a gig this Friday. Sunday, I was getting nothing from my amp. Checked the back and noticed the speaker cable was bent pretty badly - I thought that was the culprit, but then noticed my...

I had my JP-2C cut out at rehearsal. Was an odd cut out - turning it off then back on would give me sound for a second or two then cut out again. I figured I'd try 60 watt mode - nothing. I think moved the pairs of power tubes and tried it again. It worked, but only for about 10 minutes...

So my JP-2C abruptly started making ungodly noises - and not the good ones. Did the usual swap in new tubes one by one. Didn't work. Off to the local music store I bought it at and they were nice enough to give me a loaner Mark V 35 while they repair the JP-2C. Which is great seeing I have...

I was playing tonight - and all of a sudden I was getting a lot of background noise on channels 2 + 3. Was driving me crazy. Changed guitars, cables, took everything out of the loop. Tried 60watt mode and back to 100. Same thing and I would get a whistle that didn't sound like normal...

Selling two 1X12 Widebody Cabinets - one is open back the other is closed. Both have 4 years of warranty left on them. Upstate NY (Albany/Schenectady/Troy) http://albany.craigslist.org/msg/5770170176.html

When I tested out the JP-2C at the store, they had me going through a Marshall 4X12 and it sounded absolutely monstrous. At home I run 2 1X12 Mesa cabs (one closed back, one open) with C90's in it. It sounds great - but for some reason it sounded grittier and meaner in the 4X12. Now I'm...

I recorded a very quick demo of my setup using cab clone. Link is here: https://soundcloud.com/john-sheehan-21/jp-2c-cab-clone-demo Word of warning - I'm a fairly pedestrian player. A cut and paste from my sound cloud description: This is a very quick demo of a JP-2C using Cab Clone in...

So I got a chance to really sit and play with the cab clone implemented on the JP-2C. I gotta say, despite its bad reputation I was able to dial in some really great tones with it. I'm going to make some clips soon if anyone is interested. I'm running it through a Focusrite 18i20 with JBL...

I get a weird noise when turning off my JP-2C. Video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xforFG6VZ_E This happens with just the head straight into any cabinet - nothing plugged into it. Should I be worried? Failing component? Other than this it seems ok.

Is anyone using a Helix with the JP-2C? I used mine with the Mark V, and I'm assuming I need to set all my sends/return/output to Instrument rather than line level. Does anyone have any tips on using a processor like this with 4 Cable Method? Is seem to get a ton of noise even with the...

I went to the store today and plugged into a JP-2C. It took me about 15 seconds flat to dial in a great tone on Channel 3. Switched to Channel 1, about another 15 seconds and great tone. 30 minutes more of tweaking and playing on it and I knew I had to have it. Knew my wife would kill me...

I just got a decent tone out of Channel 2 to use on some covers my band does. I normally work on Channel 3. However, I got it to practice to try it and the channel is flat. No gain, takes a good amount of volume to get a fizzy type of clean out of it. Would this be V2? I know the power...

I know I keep moaning about every nuance wrong with my amp.... but my band just released the first song off our album. Both guitar tracks are done with the Mesa Mark V, one side is Extreme (Gibson SG), the other in Mark IIc+ (EBMM Majesty). I'm no virtuoso, but so happy to have such a nice...

I've been through my share of odd noises from squeals to flub - but I got a new one that just started. I've eliminated cables (both speaker and instrument), power sources, cabinets. Happening with 2 different guitars. The head was retubed with SPAX7's and EL34's, but I'm getting the noise...

While in the studio I wanted to do a track with Mark IV mode cranked up. I couldn't do it because of a high pitched whistling as both the Output and Channel Master went up. It happens with Output at about 2 o'clock and as the channel master gets to about 1 - 2. Really wanted to saturate the...
