This album has probably my favorite modded jmp rhythm tones. Assuming Norum/Billy White were using Marshalls, anyone know any details? Besides having Michael Waegner producing of course!

Yep..I beleive both John used an old Marshall with a Marshall G'venor distortion pedal in front of it. I don't think there was any awsome modded amp used. I also love the tone on that album and years ago had Mark mod a plexi to the exact tone of that album......it is a yummmy amp! However over the years with good times and bad I have sold it it my best friend who loves to remind me what an awsome amp it is....

Hey Tim,
I hope your not talking about me? Let me go play that great amp that you made the mistake of selling me. LOL....

That is awesome tone. I loved that Mirror Mirror song and never knew of Norum at the time. The 78 JMP Cameron I bought off of screamindemon was originally a Norum mod and updated to an Aldrich. The inside of the chasis still says in Mark Cameron marker John Norum Mod. Bottom line it sounds awesome.

I have a John Norum interview somewhere from back in the 90s, and John mentions that both him and Billy took a bunch of marshalls to Jose Arredondo a few months before they went into the studio to record that album. I'm pretty sure he said they had 4 jose modded marshalls each during that tour too.

Cool replies. I can get real close with my Cornford, but Im thinking about tweaking my plexi for another flavor...maybe I'll try a Govnor pedal first!

Interesting....I would have NEVER guessed a Soldano in there...but a boost in the clean channel I could see it as it was less pukey in the mids.. Both of the Soldano's I owned had an unbearable honky mid frequency on the dirty channel that I couldnt get rid of....and I love thick mids...The Mirror Mirror tone sounds a LOT like a '76 4 holer a friend of mine has...but he wont sell it to me...bastard.

Hey Mark
Thanks a lot for clearing that up! I honestly thought after reading up, that they had used the Jose's on the CD.. never woulda guessed a Soldano with a guvnor pedal ran the Gary Moore way!! I havent had a chance to try that method before.. maybe its worth givin it a go, as i do love that tone that they were gettin on the Up From The Ashes CD!
Cheers!

Hello everyone, first post here. I just stumbled across this forum as I was trying to find more info on this very subject, as I'm currently working on a song heavily influenced by this album. And now I'm more confused than ever. I've read other information (don't ask me where, I don't remember) that a Marshall JCM800 loaded with KT88 power tubes was used on the album. (?) I'm struggling to get close to that tone, especially since I'm having to use amp-sims (yeah yeah...I know). But it's getting closer...just not quite there yet. So...Soldano...or Marshall on the album (distorted rhythm tones)?
If anyone is interested in hearing the song, I'll post a link. Although the mix is a LONG way from being finished.
Thanks for all the info on here everyone!

One of the best rock sounds on a recording IMO. Love that cd.
Wasn't John Norum the guitarist for Europe?
