Thanks a lot dude. Dirty but articulate is like my favorite kind of sound and one of my favorite aspects of Marshalls in general. I absolutely love it when you can hit a chord and it's big and huge and overdiven but you can still hear the notes. I love it when I can lighten up the picking and the amp calms down. So I'm glad I'm getting that with this amp now. It didn't do it very well before, and that was part of the reason I always suspected something was fishy. It never really sounded bad, but I always thought something was off. But yeah, I can tell a HUGE difference between before and after. It's like I got a new amp. Seriously. It's that different. I'm having to re-learn it. I'm not done either. I still have a few more things to tweak.
That's great man, really happy you're getting your JMP lined out, but to be honest,
I myself really can't tell a lot of difference in the before/after clips, I think all of 'em are the shizzle really....Dirty but articulate is
the sound for rock guitar man, I'm getting closer, but still a way to go...LOL...Glad you're diggin' the amp dude, now, all you need is an 800 to complete
the collection.....

Those are pretty good on their own, but this is one of those instances in which the guitars lose something in the mix. They seem a little boxy next to the drums and bass. Kind of like the lows and highs have been rolled off. Did you do anything like that?
Yeah, there's a hp/lp filters on the guitars, but, the eq is there on the solo'd clips too...I'm sure the drums & bass are taking away from 'em, "masking" is what it's called I guess...I'm guessing the cymbals are killing the highs, & the bass is doing the same to the low end/chunk...
Nothing that can't be fixed though, just gotta keep fuckin' with the mix to get it a little better...FWIW, I just slapped the hp/lp filters on the guitars & got the levels where I thought they were about right (the guitars are a little fizzy in the top end, & I put the hp on 'em to make room for the bass...guess like everything I do over here, I went overboard...
)...Might do a little cut in the bass' low end (hp...just a little higher...or, lower the filter on the guitars or maybe even take it completely off...), & might add just a little high end to the guitars' eq...I'll play around with it tonight & see what I can come up with...I'm really diggin' the little amp though, especially with the T-75....It'd been over a week since I'd even turned the amp on, & it's been months since I've had the
Ibanez out...Life's been fuckin' crazy for me the last few months man, seems as soon as I get almost over a hump in the road, something else knocks me back down....but, I keep gettin' up....
BTW, does the overall song sound any better than the last version you heard (drum & timing wise)???? This is the "Greg_L Franken-Kit" with the re-programmed drums....I've been fucking with the hi-hats mostly this week, messing with the different articulations & their levels (IE: a completely open hat would be just a little louder than a closed, & all the in-between sounds would be a little different volume-wise...I know there are a lot of variables, like how hard the hits are & such, but you get the idea I'm onto here...)...Correct me if I'm way off on this dude, if I'm on the right track, I may end up finishing a fuckin' song this year....LOL....Lemme know....
Again, your "new" amp sounds tits dude, I'd absolutely love to be able to use one here, but, it ain't happenin' right now, so, the low-watt thing will have to do....I will say that I'd take the low-watt & real speaker/mic over an ampsim anyday...It's not the recorded sound (as I'm pretty confident my ampsim tones are pretty decent...), but the feel too, it's just different, & I play different through either of my little amps...I'd go fuckin' bat-shit, silver-back gorilla crazy with a big amp......
