Quick video of my Hermansson modded Marshall JMP 1959HW

[firejack]

I had a small window of opportunity today to record my Hermansson amp at a reasonable volume. I hooked up my detuned Suhr Modern Satin (Drop B) and started recording with my Zoom Q2n. I managed to get some riffs from a few of my original songs and a quick single-note improv with my Providence Chrono Delay in the FX Loop before my family came home early and interrupted my fun.

Man he makes an articulate amp !Your set up sounds great

 

[DeathbyButterslax]

Sounds excellent man, settings ballpark?

Cheers T. Yeah man I'm totally happy with it. The articulation can punish you if you aren't totally on your game, but the amp still manages a very fluid and fun-to-play feel.

 

[SBlue]

Dude, that amp sounds fucking insane!!!!

Thanks DB.
I took some snapshots for you...

I know right! The low end is totally composed and hits like a sledgehammer while the mids have that exact grind I've been searching for. And there's also a 3D quality to the tone that I've found lacking in most other high-gainers. It rips man!

Well that tone is certainly lacking nothing. The end of the video would’ve been even more adorable if your kids said, “Dad sounds great but it’d be even more brutal with a slight 2 db push at 1.5 KHz”.

Ya it sounds amazing

Thanks man.

That tightness switch is intriguing, does it get significantly tighter in upwards position compared to normal?

 

[DistortED]

Great sounding Marshall, great playing and a killer setup. Congrats

 

[gbsmusic]

Wow that sounds insane tight clear congratulations

 

[DeathbyButterslax]

Of course these amps sound great in E standard but downtune/ERG guys should honestly be signing up for Henrics amps these are perfect for low tunings, with the tightness. Here’s a quick Mesa clip from messing around today

Haha that would be something!

Ya it sounds amazing

How much longer before yours is on its way to you? I imagine Henric will do a clip or two with it first?

Thanks man.

To be honest, that's the one thing I haven't fully explored yet. I quickly tried all three settings and then just left it in the up position. IIRC things got slightly tighter each time I switched it downwards, but I can't say for sure. I'll have a good play with it tomorrow and get back to you.

Thanks GBS. Indeed!

Yeah boi! Nice one.
And I agree, the Hermansson absolutely loves detuned guitars. I wish I'd have kept some 7 strings I've sold over the years as I reckon they would have sounded ace through the Hermansson.

 

[Webb]

Man that sounds fucking huge. Killer!

 

[dstroud]

man thats got everything!! tight, quick response, percussive but still seems to retain the Marshall character, killer!

Haha that would be something!

Ya he definitely will do a clip he said. Still unsure how long . He thinks it cool we posted the builds. He’s so down to earth

 

[Devin]

Sounds glorious man!!

 

[PDC]

Really, really killer high gain tone. Sounds super greasy and fun to play - but lots of string separation and articulation going on there. That amp is a keeper for sure.
