Those were my experiences as well. OD1 in yellow mode with gain around 11am (like in your other post) was modded Marshall city to me.
Similar settings on OD2 felt more modern.
At the risk of sounding like a fanboi, Killertone had some epic clips back in the day with his JVM and I believe...
I currently own an older Blackmore, which I love.
Definitely in the modded Marshall camp, but with a bit more (tight) low end.
Killertone had some Bmore + JVM clips that do the amp justice.
I’d recommend trying out an AE or Bmore since they seem to be a bit different (in a good way)...
Great vids and tones! I think a combo of the Jub and Tverb would be ideal. Marks are amazing but to my ears seem to lack the grind/character of the Marshall and the fullness of the recto.
The thump in the Stephtones 😍
100% agree on the annoyance of bands playing mostly their newer stuff.
Maybe I’m getting old, but the crowd struck me as younger and it seemed to me that they didn’t know the lyrics as well to Adrenaline and ATF songs. So, I kind of expected the set list would lean on newer stuff especially...
the 15 year old inside me is freaking out right now.
That’s really awesome. I’m not expecting much more, but hopefully the can release 1-2 more albums.
I loved their set list this time, but it also concerned me since it had a fair amount of older stuff and makes me wonder….
So glad Steph went back to tube amps. Hadn’t seen them since Diamond Eyes and it seemed he went down a rabbit hole with the Axe Fx for a while.
Much much better now!
As others have said, it’s hard to beat a stock 800 with the right pedal.
I’ve had JVMs (twice), a Splawn Nitro, currently have a Deliverance 60 (may be up for sale soon) and hopefully soon an Engl Blackmore.
The Nitro had an amazing low end, but it gets kind of old after a while and then amp...
So, here are some pictures of the underneath of the socket and then the top. I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with a few of the metal pins, but might as well and get the socket replaced.
Is there any harm in playing the amp through the low input like this?
I was going to discharge caps and resistors with a resistor and wire to ground, but duly noted.
As is, I wouldn’t mind getting my inputs shielded, so might as well have a tech take care of everything.
