Re: What do you think of the new rig?

That is some GREAT looking stuff. I've listened to your clip four times. Guess what my wife said when she heard it? She said "Is that new Eric Clapton or some old SRV?" God's honest truth, that's what she said. Her eyes bugged out when I told her nope, it's one of my forum brothas.

Nice LP! I don't hate the late seventies Gibson stuff the way lots of people do. I've got a 77 doubleneck I loaded with Ants and Seths and I think it's heads and shoulders above the new ones.

Hey can, when we "hate" you, that's the highest form of flattery. Means the opposite. Kinda like talking to a woman. Oh man, here comes my wife with the frying pan--GOTTA RUN!

Great lookin amp! I like the color scheme with the Marshall knobs and amber light.

I've always wondered about Sundown amps. How does that thing sound? They probably would have succeeded, if they'd looked like yours.

Just a tip....you can mix reverb into your second volume, if you put an EH Holy Grail in between bridging the channels. Plug straight into the amp, and send reverb to the second channel. I always did that on Marshalls and Bassmans, just for a little verb mixed in.

Jeez 75lespaul, I could hardly get out of the door this morning my head was swelled up so big! Thanks for the kind words. There's a lot of awesome players on the forum here, I'm just a simple pentatonic wanker!

The Sundown amp is another monster, but in a totally different way. The clean channel isn't as chimey as the JTM45, but it's got a nice smooth, clear clean sound. Kind of like an Ampeg, but it can get raw if you push it. You can do a great Stones sound on the clean channel with a little push. The OD channel is much more modern sounding, more like a Boogie. It's got multiple ways to OD it too. With my Blackstone running into that channel, I can get pretty close to Warren Haynes sound.

Unfortuantely, it uses a switching solenoid between channels, and that's going bad. It channel switches on its own after it gets hot, sometimes with weird results. I'll debug it and replace the solenoid, but I'm having fun with the JTM45 right now
