YJM

Hi Guys,
Personally I think the YJM100 is just about the best amp to come out of marshall for some time. I did an extensive review on this product on my website and communicated with the designer directly regarding various aspects of the YJM.
Honestly, it sounds (at least to me) awesome with the power reduction (or without), the overdrive (which is adjustable on the back) and the noise gate either in our out.

for those of you that want to read the very extensive review with Santiago Alvarez comments (the designer) then visit this link... maybe you will learn something from the review (or not) but Im sure you will learn something form the designers comments as he sets a few things right in the review.
heres the link : http://www.tonymckenzie.com/yjm100_review.htm

Hope you all like it. I kept mine :)

Hey Tony,
It was actually your review and profiles that pointed me towards the YJM.
On looking back over what I said about it, it can look as if Im being very critical of the amp.
That is not the case, I love the amp and agree it is probably the best amp Marshall have done for a long time.
Its just the combination of built in attenuator, boost and my evh guitars didn't work together as well as I would have liked, and in the end that meant returning it, as without using the extras I figured I would be better with a bog standard plexi.
With my Les Paul it was fantastic, but the evh are my gigging guitars and are high output and dark sounding.
It really turned me on to the plexi sound though, and Im looking to buy one.
Unattenuated, that sound is something all rock guitarists need to experience at some time in their life, just absolutely gorgeous.

OK
Dropbox file here (64 profiles)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55560387/YJM.zip

Please bear in mind I have not yet sorted all the profiles to remove the wheat from the chaff. They have not been labelled as I have yet to decide which ones are 'worthy' of keeping.

Some are DI profiles, some with the palmer speaker sim and some with a 5153 cab and a variety of mics
I have also got a load of cab profiles to sort too.

Awesome I will check these out today! For a perpetual sick guy like myself I don't really get excited, but a glimmer of joy is shining through after seeing this post! Thank you!



I'm an EVH guitar guy as well! Which one do you have? I have a stealth and it's super smooth! I still like the 15" radius fretboard of the peaveys though.... I felt like I could play much better on those, but thats probably just from a psychological standpoint.

@jeddie

I have a black evh Wolfgang USA as my main gigging guitar and a white wolfgang special as backup (although Ive never actually had to use it).
I just love the USA, it plays like butter. The special is a lot of guitar for the money though.

Awesome yeah my USA model plays like butter. I bought a special a while back and the nut height was way too high so I sold it. I would have to cut the nut shelf in order to get it right and I don't have the tools for that. I read somewhere specials are a hit or miss on setup. You have to actually pick one out at a store. I also have the "Les Paul" Wolfgang and it's incredible. The action is lower than the normal model, because of the cut nut. They cut it really low so it's also a great player!
