@slitherlock The idea is: The tone you hear is from what you see in the pics. The mics, the mic placement, the knob settings, the RG570 etc. Anyone consiedering a JSX, or having a JSX will hear the audio, see the pic, and know how they can get, or avoid this tone. See, you learned something by watching this video and didn't even realize it. :)
@creation23 since tone is subjective, its hard to answer that. If you're looking for a crisp Marshall tight crunch. The JSX won't do it. The reason I ultimately sold mine, was the inability to get a lower gain tight crunch tone. Try a Tube Screamer or compressor, then roll your guitar volume back.
The gate "works". It depends on how much gain your use, and if you have noisy pedals. I usually didn't run my gain very high, and I did have an NS-2 to squelch my noisy gain pedals. If you play live, the sound guy should certainly have a gate on your channel anyway. It's usable, but not as good as a pedal gate. I'd test it with your own gear before I made a final decision.
2x12 and an ibanez1550m. ive had mine since they were available.. 2 quick qeustions are the pickups in your guitar stock if not what kind and second do u know if those preamp tubes are electro harmonix or jj's when i retubed a few years ago i put jj's in but the sound in your clip sounds so much better than mine just wondering again AMAZING tone!
imabee i need to get titanium plates in my fingers to let the tone flow through my fingers better lol
I currently have a Andy Timmons AT-1 in the bridge, but i'm not sure if it was in the guitar when I recorded this. I dont think it was. The tube were stock, I'm not sure what kind. I have since sold the JSX. While I liked alot of things about it. It didn't do the low gain stuff I needed. Recording with 2 mic's can help with tone, especially if they are different mic's pointed at the speaker differently.
Great playing and incredible tone! I love my jsx :) where on the cone do you place your mics? It looks like dead center but not positive. Also, did you EQ at all in mixing or is that purely the tone you got out of the mics and amp? And are the settings you used the ones that are shown in the picture? Thanks! :)
Darin, your tone on this solo reminds me of Warren DeMartini's tone on "Nobody Rides for Free," especially that neck pickup tone at the end. Nice playing!
so...a picture of an amp, mic, and guitar with some good guitar playing. oh thank you sir, i learned sooooo much.

Can you remember how to dial in the crunch channel? I'm having no luck with it.. it's always seeming dull and lifeless :(

I got a question. Is the built in noise gate on this amp good or would you just be better off buying a seperate noise gate?

if your on the ultra or crunch channel the volume on the other channel acts as a contour knob
