James Bond Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 19 hours ago, SoundOfAGun said: The 40C was much more capable at getting "bedroom" volumes, but still very loud on 2 1/2 - 3. The 1 watt is even more usable, it has a 0.1 watt setting which I haven't used; if it is like the 40C half power setting it will suck the goodness right out of the tone. I found that of the DSL series and some other self attenuating amps (EVH springs to mind). Fortunately, the Mini Jubilee still retains its sound at the 5 watt setting. I suppose it sounds a little darker (for lack of a better word) but I almost like it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard the mini Jub at 5 watts, it does sound good! Not sure if the reduced power option is better engineered in the more expensive Marshalls.

Not sure if the reduced power option is better engineered in the more expensive Marshalls. My ideal Marshall is something like the Origin or Jubilee. When I use my Helix Floor I us a JTM45 and the JCM800 I feel the JTM45 gives it more clarity and boost while the JCM800 gives me the overdrive. I liken how I can roll down my volume in the Helix for clean rather then channel switching I haven't used my pedals since i got the thing. I use the Fender Mustang Amp as my Loudspeaker. I haver it on Tube Preamp and it gives it a really clear definition. Edited June 30, 2020 by Gibsonfender2323 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also into the Revv red and purple channels for something heavier. I still need to try it in preamp mode through the FX return of my DSL...

I use the Marshall 1959SLP the most but also use the Roland JC120, Sildano SLO100, Marshall JCM800s, Vox AC30s, and Revv Gen a lot. Every amp model is great and I switch around a lot with the main ones I use. The Bogner Shiva and Trainwreck are very underrated as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, it follows the vocal melody of the original pretty close, working on cover of Ain't No Sunshine that is pretty much a new song; it only really shares some of the lyrics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insanely loud!! The 1 Watt should tick your boxes I think; plenty of saturation on ultra gain channel, classic gain breaks up and goes up to a pretty heavy crunch. I'll try and do a clip later and post here. 400 watts totally checks out! So loud!! Haha If you ever do get a chance to do a sample clip that would be great and much appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try and get something sorted tomorrow, just got my hearing back after having a blocked ear, so spent most of today on my new cover of Ain't No Sunshine, here is a clip (from the room through speakers): 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like your fresh approach to it! My bro makes me mix tapes and ain’t no sunshine has been on every single one, lol. He’ll be pumped to hear this too! Okay, but a blocked ear?! I don’t know precisely what that is but it sounds terrible and likely very disconcerting for a musician such as yourself? Sounds like your ears are working just fine again though! No rush on the preview vid, btw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to watch it but I really enjoy my Les Paul. It's comfortable to play and sounds good. The coil tapping sounds fine to me and opens up different sounds. That being said, I just ordered a grail guitar for me that should hopefully outshine my Les Paul, a Teye Coyote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video is funny, but I know it's lengthy. The TLDR - even though LPs are heavy, expensive and a lot of times uncomfortable, the sound is fucking great. And it's versatile too. And from the guitars I had, I actually find it more comfortable to play than any other I tried. 18 hours ago, James Bond said: I haven't watched the video but I adore the middle pickup position. That's my go to for cleans. I used to do it more for the cleans. But I never use it besides that. It's kinda strange how this is just not something most people use.
