New gear & profiling session : Jessie M & the Marshalls - My take on the mighty JCM800

  • Hello !


    My hollobody pack being finished & online, I'm moving on to my next profiling project.


    This time, I'm going to explore a bit more the marshall world, my starting point is a very cool tube preamp / boutique pedal, called the 800 X2 , handbuilt by a french tube amp specialist ( Fred Amp)


    I've been profiling the little beast with a 1st batch of profiles, a dozen, and the results are promising.


    My objective is to gather the most beautiful tones I wil get out of this great preamp, JCM800 tones, my all time favorite marshall, but also the bluesbreakers and JTM ones, up the JCM900.


    I already came across a few tone worth appearing in a new commercial pack, so I'l eventually publish a great rich collection for all kinds of pickups in single pack once I can squeeze every tone I wanted from this tube box.


    New profiles with specific pickups ( SC, HB, and P90 on hollow) will probably end up in their respective ATM packs as a free add on/update.

    the 1st profiles I could get from 'Jessie M', as I will call the 800X2 pedal are mostly crunch ones.


    There is one particular profile 'honky Les Paul' that I already love for it's great tonal characteristics, full of mids , body and honk. It will turn any HB or P90 guitar into a singing Les Paul vibe, fantastic for lead work.


    Another one is the 'Gongalizer' , an harmonized rig I came across while tweaking with a very deep and huge organ like tone . I named it after David Allen's GONG band , and the specific chorused tone David Allen was using. I love it badly since it's highly inspirational for writing songs. This is the first one in the clips below.


    Any way , have a listen to my first tracks recorded on this one ( all recorded on my P90 hollow guitar : Ibanez Artist)
