Sorry I didn't see it before.

It's pretty cool but kind of hard to tell. My first thought was that it's too bright and sloppy, but after a few listens it's grown on me. I like it man. :)

allrighty ..... I kinda liked it although it was a bit too reverby to get a clear glimpse of the elusive creature .... :D

Had a late 60's fuzziness to it that I liked though ........ and I find it hard to get a fuzz I like.
What was the chain again?

I like it. I can't play with reverb myself, but I'm working on it. Sounds good.

Hey antichef, these clips are a bit bright. I think I can detect some good toneality, but I think better mic placement would help in the future. I like the dirty channels, but again, really bright.

Yeah, sigh, starting to think it's my tinnitus and headphones I'm using during placement. Next set, whenever that is, I'm just going for a SM57 pointed toward the outside of the cone.

Don't go too drastic with it. Just go about halfway between where the dustcap meets the cone and the edge of the speaker. Try that.

and you don't even have to move the mic .... just turn it so it's aimed more to that part of the cone.
 
Thanks guys. The JMP is with the tech this week getting a health check and a three prong plug. When I get it back, I'll bridge the inputs and mic up again.
 
Who do I have to sleep with to get in to NAMM?

I remember namm. It was hell. Dark, lonely, mosquito infested hell. Charlies everywhere. Couldn't even get a wink of shut eye with all monkeys trying to eat my toenails off. I saw a lot of good buddies die over there. The noise was horrendous. Gunfire, mortars, napalm, grenades. The shrieks of death. Groans of pain. None of it was as bad as a klops speaker drum though.
 
Are there clips of the speaker drums?

Also, I hate that NAMM is on the other side of the country.

Thanks guys
I did add a touch too much verb true even for my liking.
Its a MAM strat>Deacy amp>57>Alice preamp>|Interface+twin delay and reverb.
This is the amp Steeno and I recently built (1 watt of solid state madness with a treble screamer infront of it)
 
We're not going to do this all again, are we? I neg-repped his ass, that'll show him :D.

I know you'll completely ignore anything negative...but I just have to say that the sound of that cab in the You Tube clip makes me want to go and hit my head against a cement wall. headwall.webp

I've never heard something sound both dull...and honky...all at the same time, but your cab certainly achieves it.
And then maybe it's the playing...that overdriven mush....or maybe it's both.

OK...so you stuck a speaker in a drum shell and stuffed it full of foam or old under-ware or whatever....fine, it certainly is something that I've not seen before, so in that regard you do have a "unique" approach to guitar cab design, but for the love of tone, WTF do you think makes THAT better than 99.999% of traditional cabs?

I mean....you could take that same speaker and stick it in a round, plastic garbage can, and call it a guitar cab...or for that matter, you can stick a speaker in just about ANY kind of enclosure....but it doesn't mean it's automatically better than speak cab builds that have been mathematically designed and properly tuned and tested in acoustic chambers with proper audio test equipment...etc...etc.

Hey...live the dream for awhile if you can, nothing wrong with that....but dude, take a !%*#ing sip of reality too, and stop being so smirky about everything people here tell you because you simply don't want to consider it, and because you *think* you've invented something really outstanding (which it's not). You're not scoring anything positive with that approach, so what's the point of endlessly posting the same thing over and over here?

But good luck at NAMM....let us know when some of the big music store chains pick up your product.........
