JCM 900 Test The Living End, Shinedown- Guitar Test

I'm testing out my brand new amp and camera at the same time. I'm playing .45 by Shinedown and Wake Up by The Living End with a 1992 Epiphone Les Paul Custom. The amp is a 1999 Jcm 900 4100 with 6L6's. The camera is a Sony DSC-W80 in movie mode. Just testing it out for now.

dude on i have the jcm900 combo...the 100w one speaker one...4101 model...ur clean channel is just guitar into the amp? and btw i use an mxr boost/OD thru it and it thickens up so well...its beautiful:D not marshally tho i must say...sounds alot more modern but i m VERY happy with my sounds...anyways could u also tell me what tubes ur using? preamp AND the brand of the power amp tubes?

I think they were both electro-harmonix, but I can't check for you because I sold the JCM-900 shortly after this video was made. I traded amps and shit and currently I have a 2003 Jcm-2000 DSL-50 and I've never been more happy with my tone in my entire life. I bought it because my two favorite bands use it (rise against, and smile empty soul) it nails the sound I was looking for. Thick, ballsy, very marshall like.

Nice Shirt

is cos its running 6L6s. if you find one with EL34s its a WHOLE different ballgame.

@georgakis187 Which groove tubes would work best in a 900 4100 100w? I like their sound better than other tubes. My cab is 1960BX w/25w greenbacks 16 ohms 100w. Peace

Nice Playing man!..Hey man one question, Does your guitar serial number start like this..S92XXXX..or something like that? I have the same guitar as you do but I'm not sure if it was made in 1992..Thanks in Advanced.

Were you boosting it, or was that raw sound.

[GroovyGuitar02]

wow... i made a nice deal getting mine . it was like 300$ and it's the 5881 and it sounds really fine to me ;)

i was afraid of playing a bad amp then returning home without anythin' to play on ... but then , i plugged my telecaster . and then , instant rock'n'roll ... i was just amazed and the man who sold it to me was amazed because it sounded really sweet with my tele , my settings and my playing =D seems i found a good combination ! (i play blues ,rock and funk , mainly , and a bit of jazz)

[GroovyGuitar02]

yeah , and the crunch is awesome on this amp . to me , at least ... i will try to boost it to get sweet overdrives tones from that crunchy tone ... but hey , it sounds really good , reminding me of the great tone of a plexi (not really a plexi's tone , but a good marshall-colored tone with rich harmonics is just what i want . and twenty women and a stack of coaine , champagne and a limousine too !(lyrics of a song of mine)

[GroovyGuitar02]

try an EQ in the FX loop , bro' ^^

it will help for bottom end ... well , mine has little bottom end too, but i always go for a sweet tight bottom ! lol

[GroovyGuitar02]

hi ! just got my JCM900 !

i don't care about ppl say , for rock tones (think of zeppelin , hendrix , to a bit of gun's & roses and a bit of metal too , with my trusty SH6-equipped and vastly customised ibanez RG) this amp really does the trick , and for cleans too ... got the 5881 version ... happy to have it and thanks for the advice you gave me ! now i'll try an overdrive with it ! but mainly , it's a good little amp ^^

[georgakis187]

Best thing i ever used with the JCM900 was a maxon Od808. I used it to boost the lead channel into chunky metal territory. I ve also owned the Fulltone OCD. Check my vids if you wanna see what they all sound like. They re in my older vids.

[GroovyGuitar02]

oh , a G12T100 ... oh , yeah , that's sweet ... forgot a 75w G12T75 may not fit into a 100w combo lol ^^

and the G12T100 has a reputation of "good speaker" on some discussion forum i belong to ...

okay , i'll put some JJs in my JCM900 =D btw , do you have a good overdrive pedal (from light crunch to light distortion) to recommend me ?
