Omg.
If you are looking for a big fat hot rodded tone this is it.
Have gone through many many pedals and combinations but just tried this and it’s huge.
I’m running the Marshall with a hair of breakup. Then im stacking the pedals. The BE first.
Then the Timmy which really fattens the...
Yes. Very valid point.
I prefer to run the amp wide open without the epa with both volumes on 2 Jumpered. When I can... I go for more
It’s just on the verge of breakup. Then I hammer the front end with an OCD and Timmy.
Not really sure what the amp is putting out but sometimes even the 2...
I currently have an orange 212 closed back with m75 scumback speakers. Think they are 60 Watts each.
My amp is a YJM100.
I play pretty loud
Anyway I can pick up a minty 1960ax. It’s not vintage so probably has the Chinese greenbacks in it.
My 212 does the job but barely hangs on at times...
Bog... you are so right. At first I was going to plug it into my pedal power but then realized the same thing. It is running on a 9v battery right now.
The fuzz is a beast. I’ve used one very little but have been wanting to try some of those old tones plus really push the leads.
Wild how...
Well...today everything seems much better. I did pull some patches and replugged some stuff in though.
The joys of tubes and germanium transistors I guess?
I did leave the fuzz second in line just after the wah as the wah after sounds like ass.
Thanks all. I’ll keep frigging with placement...
The weird thing is it had tons of sustain further up the chain after the wah and several more pedals.
The tone is better near the front but it clips like crazy and single notes die.
It was after the wah before. In fact after 4 pedals. I’ll will try moving it around but I’d does seem like it is way overloaded or something...and choking off the signal and note.
I recently picked up a Soul Bender. (germanium fuzz)
I fist tried it deeper into my pedal chain (after the modulation effects) but hen decided to move it close to the front as that is where a fuzz usually likes to sit.
So I right now go guitar - wah - Soul Bender - Deja Vibe - Phase 95 - OCD...
You have courage Jimi lol.
My style of play was to typically get as much pure gain from the amp as possible, and then augment...but now i find the pure plexi tone with no epa...which at low volume is very clean...to be a fantasic base tone and foundation for everything. Tons of headroom, open...
Ive been running my YJM for several years now (i did the upgrade on it too), and have always been fussing with the EPA, thoughts of a different attenuator, and overall settings. Well lately Ive just said fuckit and play it opened up all the time.
I just have to say with this beast wide open...
I use an Orange 212 loaded with Scumbacks and really like it a lot. Prefer it much more than the V30's that came stock.
The plexi / greenback combo is vintage bliss.
I have strictly been a LP guy for years, but I really felt compelled to try a Strat with my JYM.
I just picked up a Fender American Special H/S/S. It has Texas Specials and an Atomic HB. Actually traded my old JSX for it.
Anyway, is fukken awesome to bang out some old Hendrix, Trower, and...
Here is another track with the exact same amp EQ settings, but with a timmy pedal to boost the front end.
It adds some gain and compression, but also quite a bit of bottom end too.
Too much boost could really mush things up if not careful...at least with the Timmy. I think next time I'll dial...
Hi Duncan.
My EPA was just a touch past 10:00.
Was home when I recorded this, so going much louder would have been pushing it.
I find setting the EPA at noon really starts to open up the amp, but Im still happy with the tone at lower settings.
Today I might try recording with my Timmy pedal...
Here is a sample of a Les Paul straight into channel 1 running at 8 with no boost and a real straight forward EQ setting.
Settings are P2, B4, M5.5, T5.
Find this gives you a good classic woody crunch tone. No fizz or mush.

I use an Orange 212 closed back. Pulled out the V30's and put in Scumback M75's. They are like pre-rola Greenbacks that are very broken in.
The tone is absolutely excellent with the YJM.
Warmer, fatter tone for sure!. Bottom end not as tight, but for me the overall tone was so much better.
