    ive acquired a mint dm3 and dm2 lately. im using it in a LP Custom and vintage jcm800 set up. i find the dm2 is cool for blue jean blues tone and the dm3 just gives cavernous sounding delay which i would use for rock, these analogs slaughter digitals, which music genre would assocuiate with...

    boy it took me a long time to do this. remember the cab turns out to be a 4x12 1984 chequerboard model, the spkrs had EL25 and HL25 by your logic that makes it 25 of may and june 1978. they also had t1886, no idea what that means, could your research books possibly help. the cones say rola on...

    how can 1960 originals paf`s be gutless and underwhelming ?

    the guitar in question was a 1985 R9 with the most gorgeous flamed top ever, i was drooling at chance to play it. plugged it into my JCM800 1/2 stack and waited to be impresed big time. weedy , farty tone was the order of the day. i plugged my own LP Custom in to see if anything was wrong...

    FX purist or FX enthusiast.....your rig lends itself to which ?

    by PURIST i determine it as: not a lot of fx, player likes it simple. few if any rackmount gear any fx tend to be analog, especially when it comes to delay. amplifier, is of course, tube. player may just be a plug in and go guy. by ENTHUSIAST i determine it as : lots of fx and tone shaping...

    i think the boss SD1 was made for a LP !

    i sold my rat2 recently on ebay, i initally loved it but quickly found the saturation to be too much, i found notes to be smothered in gain, it had to go. i got a home loan of boss sd1 and od3. i expected the more expensive od3 to kick the sd1`s ass. not a bit of it. the od3 sounded more...

    can incorrect tube bias cause this with JCM800 head ?

    i bought a new set of svetlana el34 tubes for my 2204 JCM800 head, never bothered my arse getting it rebiased. now i hear a rustling type of sound and the odd hissing and whining thru my vintage marshall 4x12, could the non rebiasing be the culprit, are the jcm s sensitive to correct biasing ...

    does anybody else simply not rate the LP classic ?

    i think LP, i think, Custom / standard / historic, i sure as hell dont think classic. the shit pups, the abominable green inlays and that horrid skinny neck, i feel, are as far removed from the LP ethos as you can get. i remain unconviced as to what the classic is all about compared to the 3...
