Uh oh, are V30's slowly growing on you? I don't mind them, but i still like MC90's more. They seem like a smoother speaker than V30's, but IMHO both are very good for heavier stuff. But i see Boogie using the MC90 in everything from Lonestars to Recto cabs and it sounds good in everything. And for a little tiny bedroom 1x12, the tiny Lonestar special kicks some ass with a boost pedal.

nah, I just know that the JVM sounds good with the V30's. I just wanted him to know that the speaker swapping was just a preferance thing. I prefer h30's to v30's and of course the mc90's because that's what I dig. I didn't want him to think that it was mandatory that he use h30's or greenies for the amp to sound good. Totally not the case.

The demo was with V30s, we wanted the guy to switch to the VM GB cab but the amp sounded real good through the V30s. Go figure .
 
Yo gainfreak, I didn't mean anything bad about you, you said some nice stuff about me, and to be honest the only person I have a problem with is carl and he started it. So don't think I'm saying anything bad about you. Maybe when I come to ny in may you and steve will let me check out some of your gear.

Stevevht, I have no problem showing you my reciet. Its no secret really, I just faxed a copy to the guy I sold it to.
It wasn't stolen at all, I bought it new.
Gc has a certain amount that they add to the dealer cost towards the overhead and comissions. i just pm me your phone number and fax. And steve I just want you to know I thought it was cool you did the group buy, I was saying anything bad at all, but carl would like you to think that. I always try and hook people up like that.

Lets put it this way...
I've never in my life seen Ralphie turn down the gain and drop a gain stage before on any amp...For God Sakes, he boosts a Mark 4 with the gain on 10....LOL
I think we both agreed last night that we would rather have this amp than a Herbert.
It's been a while since I've played a VH4, so I can't compare it to any other Diezel other than a Herbert or Einstein.
Steve

I'd probably pick the JVM over the Herbert except i would need more time with the JVM to see if i would like it more for certain things. To me the Herbert does not sound like a Marshall at all, but i love it for it's smooth juicy sound. To me the Herbert didn't have any spikey highs or muddy lows and it was really good for detuned metal. I didn't fully appreciate the Herbert until i borrowed Andrews for a week and i really got to play around with it.

I know i post these amp reviews from time to time but i there's really nothing as good as taking an amp home and using it for about a week to really dig into it and get a feel. I tried the JVM for an hour and i was impressed, i know if i brought one home i could easily get a LOT out of it and i could use it for all stlyes, not that i play many though.LOL

But overall, all of my favorite all time tones have been played on Marshalls and Mark series Boogies. And believe it or not Rectos come in 3rd place as i have heard some recorded Recto tones that i love, they have their own place in the world though.

Anytime you are in NY you are welcome to come over and check out some gear !! The first round is on me ;)
 
I know that I am going to dig the JVM but I do not think it would replace my Herbert gas, that amp does its own thing so freaking well.
 
Thanks a lot gainfreak, that say alot about what type of person you are.

no no no no no, i have convinced myself that i don't need multiple amps being the basement dweller that i am. Multiple amps isn't good for a marriage. My driveway needs to be repaved this Spring......but fuck that i want a new amp! :doh:

Lovely time for all :lol: . I totally agree with you on taking time with amps. You need to spend a few days at home or in studio to get the 'feel' for an amp and tweak it to it's best [subjective] tones.
 
The one thing that I REALLY liked on the JVM for the half hour or so I had it on was the reverb. I only got to try it on the clean and crunch channels but it was great. I usually hate digital reverb and prefer spring, but this was one of the best I've heard in an amp.
 
Zao...just to let you know I do not hold any grudges either. I have met a ton of formites that at first we did not get along but in the end we were shaking hands and shooting the crap.

Anytime you are in CT you are welcome to demo GMW guitars drink some beers on the deck.

DAnyeo and I bust each others asses and we hang :D

I was lucky to score my new computer, my tax return and bonus are gone already for windows and paint :cry:

MAke sure you get a thick pavement job, some of those ass clowns lay down shit and it breaks in three years :doh:

Yes, I love the Herbie as well! I dig both amps for sure.

I just can't see JVM having the low end thunder of Herbert. That's what Herbie was designed for. Diezels are just beasts. :eek:

Yes the reverb is so good that I don't need any effects at all. I hope Marshall gives Santiall a BIG bonus.

I agree...it was a very clear sounding reverb...didn't sound digital at all.

I had Peter Diezel tweaking as I was playing the Herbert and yeah I can't see the JVM having that low a bottom end.

That said I bought the JVM AND a new Core 2 puter for $3900.
 
Although I admit I'm somewhat intrigued by this amp...I'm curious to hear what everyone says a month or two from now. Personally, I know that's about how long it takes for some of the "annoying" tones to reveal themselves in an amp I usually start out loving. If those tones don't exist after a month or so, then I know I'm in love.
