Don't know if it's this guys playing, but the amp sounds like it's missing that growl be it transformers, speakers but it sounds very one dimensional as opposed to any actual Jose's I've heard.... disappointing. Not sure if he just compressed the crap out of it or what. Almost sounds too...
They do it for the fans who constantly want Lynch playing those tunes... Know Jon Levin personally, (I still need my picks back Jon :D) and last time Don was in town, caught them and was sharing some spirits... Don's voice hasn't been the same since he tore his vocals...
Reality is, there are...
No problem buddy....
Most importantly, what are YOU playing? I typically resort to the Dokken, Ozzy, Whitesnake, Ratt, Journey, STYX, Van Halen, King Diamond etc... Bottom line, a lot of big, open chords and double stops...
Even newerish Marshalls IE DSL's (Actually a decent amp board issues...
I'll chime up.... considering your mentions I'll throw a few things out there.
I have had plenty of other Splawns and Marshalls modded by Scott... Currently:
JCM800 from when he was rumored to get a tap on the shoulder saying he couldn't do that."
Splawn Quick Rod from 06' Heyboers
1959 Super...
I always loved running wireless and hearing the front of house and walking through and hearing the differences for sure.... Dudes at the front of the stage always heard bass drums, snare and just cranked Marshalls/Splawns :D
Related but I miss the GLORY days of HC... That place was like a revolving door for dudes trading amps out, "Didn't like it? Send her back and I'll box yours..." On Marshall Forum we had an amp trade going for a long time until of course someone ruined it... Too many awesome amps now that are...
Solid looking lineup man.....
Mine's the same way...
Wanted a Hellcat Challenger.. looked at one, she was the one in my ear "Do it for yourself, you work hard..." Actually forced me to buy it LOL
Anytime I bring home gear "Was it a good deal???"... Never bats an eye... Glad you found a good one!
I will truly never understand the hype... Was managing a few music stores at the time and dude's would just flock in and buy them.... "True Bypass" "better than a Klon" ...
Pedal couldn't hang with a supra distortion LOL
Had a couple of those… can’t recall, Halyin? Hydra? What ever ended up with James was it? Cool Amps…
From memory:
FJA Modded 800 34 mod
Early Splawn Modded Plexi
70’s JMP modded by Lee and then someone else.. (posts up here, no clue who did the work) / Hopkins Pandora tie
Friends, Colleagues... Strangers..
Heavily Toured JMP... Former Pro Players per the seller (sure...) but the headshell definitely verifies that it’s been around the world…
Spoke with Lee who obviously had his hand in the amp however, someone else appears to have modded the amp after him. To...
Back in the day, there was a "luthier to the stars" named Rod Schoepfer... had a shop for a while. Long story short he custom made brass inserts and the tone was to DIE for. Many of samboras main axes were done by him with parts from Neptune (Kramer).
He also built Ritchies famous non les paul...
