Having some fun with my JSX in the rehearsal

Hello dear friends!
Today I took my car and set out for my bands' new rehearsal. I brought my Ibanez JS1200CA with me and a CD with a couple of backing tracks on to have some fun with!

At first, I was going to make like six or seven new videos, but I decided to cut the material, so I ended up with a ten minute video of a handful clips.
I took a 35 minute video non-stop and the result you can see here.

The sound might distort a little bit, but that's only because the high volume, almost eleven I think *lol* Anyway, my video camera isn't too fond of high volumes, stupid thing! Haha!

The guitar is an Ibanez JS1200CA with a DiMarzio Breed in the bridge (thanks Magnus Olsson). The amp is a Peavey JSX. For effects I use an Alesis Midiverb 4 in the fx loop, no distortion/overdrive pedals.

You can see a brown ugly combo to the right and that's an Acoustic Control Corporation model 164 amp which I feed with the right channel signal out from the Alesis. So it's all the sound of the JSX, but in stereo, don't think that gets through in the video though...

As you all might know by now, I'm not focused on technique, so this video is more about tone, and the JSX has got plenty of that, trust me!!

Anyway, hope you'll enjoy it!
Take care

Can you tell me how you run the Alesis through the loop quietly? I have the Peavey ValveKing, and when I run my Midiverb 4 through the loops, it's hissy....

@DRB471 Hello. I don't really remember the settings, cause I sold both the amp and the fx unit a couple of years ago, BUT I remember that you have to set both the input and output levels correct in order to avoid hiss. Perhaps you have turned the fx loop send knob up to high so the Alesis can't handle the strong signal? I'm just guessing here...

I think the Alesis has some sort of auto level feature? You might wanna try that.

But i believe that it has something to do with the levels. :)

nice going man! really like earing you play!. i'm thinking on geting your pickups set for my Ibanez... but i was wondering how they work in the middle position. i have mahogany body... do you think they'll sound as good as yours?

[CedricIII]

@necax007 Thanks. Yes, I think it works. They are both pretty bright pickups, so with the darker souding mahogany body it might sound perfectly! If they don't sound the way you want, try other pickups!

Hey friend ! Here I'm, once again in a late office hour day, listening to this - still I'm not bored hearing you play. I am in love with your phrasing here. Dude, you should come up with an album.And I know its gonna come awesome. Best wishes to you !!

[CedricIII]

@nepotiums Thanks man! Makes me warm inside! Take care! :)

@lickburner48 May be a loose tube. Combos are notorious for having this issue. Tubes dont like being in the speaker cabinet. When you run the extension it moves some of the power and vibration away from the head even if it doesn't cut out the in-cab speakers. I'd start there. Hope it helps.

Hey cedric man I got the 2 12 combo and on the ultra channel it squels and hard to stop somtimes it won't unless I got to crunch channel or clean channel other channels work fine just ultra channel squels so I ran into a marshall 4 12 and squealing stopped even with gain all way up and volume loud I've tried normal stuff not standing infront of amp etc... any ideas man would be great

[francheski]

the tone you get from that...is killer man...

Hey, can you do a video of you jamming with your new Mesa? I'd like to hear the difference between it and the JSX. I really like the feeling you put into your playing. Keep it up man. I get so tired of these guys that think the only way to show an amp and cabs tone is to do a bunch of metal riffs. It's a breath of air to see someone actually play and have a lead tone and not just a bunch of brittle distortion and trying to get 60 notes in one measure.
