Jimmy Page is mostly recognized as a Marshall player, but he really used pretty much everything. I think he even used a Pignose sometimes in the studio.
Diet here too man, the regular doesn't make me shit or anything...LOL, but I did get a big 'ol fucking belly for a while that went away when I switched to diet...My wife was fucking furious..."All you did was switch to diet, I have to exercise, not eat, bitch, blah, bitch, blah"....I thought it was fucking epic myself....I don't even really like coffee. It's pretty nasty actually. I just power some down in the mornings to go for a run or hit the gym. Two cups of coffee and I'm jacked. I do love me some Mt Dew. It's gotta be diet though. I can't drink full sugar soda pops. They make me shit like a race horse for some reason. .
I'll see if my brother will let me use his scanner to upload some old pics dude, it was a thing of beauty....White tolex, 100w head, with matching A & B cabs....At the time, I didn't know shit from shinelola about good tone, I just knew I wanted more gain from my amp...LOL....During the time I was in that last band, I did used to have some really nice gear, when we'd have a "big" gig, I'd have a full-size p'up truckbed loaded to the max, full of amps, cabs, guitars, & fx....that was just me, there were 4 other band members....I'd take 5-6 guitars, head & 2 cabs, rack fx, stompboxes....LOL....Miss those days in a way, had a lot of fun back then....Bet you wish you still had that Jube now, huh? Trading a Jube for a Randall is pretty much blasphemy in hindsight. Those things fetch some big bucks these days. They have a real cult following. I remember the early 90s when people were dumping classic Marshalls for nothing to buy Mesas, Randalls, and a ton of rack gear. Ugh, that would be a good stop for a time machine and a pocket full of cash.
Can't wait dude, can't wait....You know, I've had a few people tell me that Gibsons are hit/miss for individuals, I'm just hoping like hell, that the LP I'm getting is gonna be the one for me....24 hours dude, & it'll be here....Hey minerman, are you getting a guitar or something tomorrow?
I agree with that. Like I've mentioned, I played a bunch, whole bunch, of LPs and SGs in my search. They were all pretty different from one another. I'm a hack though, so I don't know how that fares with a better player. Maybe it's really bad if a hack like me can notice it, or maybe it's not so bad and I'm just a really bad player. Unfortunately it was the studios, Jr's, and less expensive models that really had the most inconsistencies. The Trads, Classics, Standards, and Customs were more consistent. Crossing my fingers for you.Can't wait dude, can't wait....You know, I've had a few people tell me that Gibsons are hit/miss for individuals, I'm just hoping like hell, that the LP I'm getting is gonna be the one for me....24 hours dude, & it'll be here....
I had a friend over this weekend who has been playing since the early 70's - I've got a '71 JMP 50 watt (post plexi), and he was grooving on that (and getting a fantastic tone out of it) but also saying that the re-issues he had seen were about as good as you could hope for --- better in some ways - all the caps are fresh, etc.
clips soon - I have to haul a rack that now weighs about as much as I do down a flight of stairs first...Awesome, where's the clips?
I've been meaning to ask you...are you using an attenuator with it? I can't decide if I want to go with an attenuator, PPIMV mod, or a power scaling mod.

My buddy offered to do a PPIMV mod, and I'm thinking about it. His opinion was that the PPIMV was the best approach (I'm assuming that stands for post phase inverter master volume, which is what he was calling it).
I have a Marshall power brake, and I tried it once briefly but chickened out, and so I've just been running wide open - I have been getting emails from the neighbors to STFU, so I gotta think of something.
Probably I should just start getting comfortable with the attenuator. After all, I have already plugged the amp into the 4ohm input on a JCM900 cab, causing a failure, and played hard when the ohm selector switch fell out altogether and the friggn thing caught fire a little bit. The output transformer is still fine after all that, so I suppose I can relax already. (I'm sure they used a better switch with the re-issue. I gleefully had mine replaced with something better)
The attenuator did suck some tone on my JCM800 - but that was when it was biased super-stupid-hot, and the attenuator made it sound like it was constipated with razorblade poo. It may be better now that I got it re-biased.
