bolero Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 today I fired up the JTM100 to give it some exercise ( I can't wait to move somewhere I can crank this thing regularily ) and keep the filter caps etc from drying out...it's a shame I don't use this more often anyway I set up a mic in the room, probably not the best recording but whatever...I figured I'd at least document it...it was pretty loud, you can hear all kinds of stuff rattling around in the background guitar was the 535 with Lollar's direct in, about 3/4 volume. I didn't really mess with the EQ or anything. someday I'd like to do a proper recording with this amp

plexirocker 68 Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 bolero, what kind of output tube type and brand are you using in that amp? plexi
FredZepp Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Nice Marshall tone there.. ! If I remember correctly, you've got a nice sounding old cab that contributes to that fine tone.
bolero Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 ah, right I have a '68 straight 4x12....but this was going thru my JCM800 era top cab, loaded with Scumback 75Hz 50w speakers plexirocker it is running real GEC KT66 output tubes x4...preamp tubes are all the original Mullards, still going strong after nearly 50 years!!
212Mavguy Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 There is a rich fullness not in current Marshalls coming out of this amp. The harmonic content is musical, sounds great.
slider313 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 There is a rich fullness not in current Marshalls coming out of this amp. The harmonic content is musical, sounds great. Agreed! They sure don't sound like that anymore.
Trouble Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 That does sound great, I'm with Jeff now I want one.
bolero Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 BTW this is the song I hacked up in the middle of all of that he used either an old Traynor or an old Marshall when he recorded this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQjdFB3f3E4
ridethatbike Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 very nice. I'm with Jeff and DB on this one, too. You just increased your resale value by at least $100.
