6100 LM has the biggest usable distortion, you will not need more than the 6100 LM has.Try a 6100 LM with gain maxed and gain boost actived...do some palm mutes and your pretty much firing a shotgun.
However its too much FRZZRRZZRZZ after gain goes beyond 3 o clock ;O Altho the jvm can...
i tried a jmp1 with a marshall 50 watt power amp in a mesa boogie 2x12 cab and i didn't like it at all.
It sounded so lifeless and not punchy. Maybe all racks do this. I didnt like it. But nothing better than trying it yourself!
I doubt ANY amp has more distortion than a JVM on red mode in overdrive channel, its just impossible, after 4 on gain of the red mode it just goes into total chaos.
Trust me , no one unless they were playing some kind of alternative band and wanted a totally screeching ear piercing solos would...
Thats why i want a amp that i don't want to ever get another one.
Well ,that way i'll just stick with a 6l6 6100 LM, i really need the gain boost.
Gain boost and gain on 1-2 o clock just gave me the most awesome metal sound i've ever heard. Can i make a 6L6 6100 LM sound pretty like a EL34? If...
LOLyou guys are hilarious xD
The 6100LM is 800 euros used where i live. Portugal, Lisbon
There is one at that price on a used stuff site. But its kinda far from my town. It has 6l6
Thats what i thought... and the JVM sounds a bit fake to me compared to the 6100.
So 6100 is the amp i want. There is one 6100LM with 6l6 here in portugal... but it has 6l6...thats why i wanted to know about converting it into el34 without going totally broke! max like 100 euros to convert and...
Megadeth oldschool style!

this with a little bit more gain, just a tad more, to do a metallica gain style but megadeth in tone ;o

see this? its kinda like this, but maybe a tad more mids
i need a amp that has footswitchable channels and the lead must do metal, only JVM, DSL and 6100LM do that, and 6100 wins the JVM for sure, not sure about DSL but im pretty sure a DSL can't sound as oldschool as a 6100 and i really doubt the cleans are as awesome as the 6100.
i'm going to...
:\ fuckkkkkkk.
If you EQ properly can you make the 6l6 sound like el34? (i think probably not but just asking :\)
i'm less pissed now, but still pissed. I know if im going to buy a valvestate or something like that temporary i'll eventually sell it for the 6100, so thats a waste of money.
I cant afford the 6100 ... :( i am so pissed...see my thread and see why.
BTW tell me, is it possible to change the lead channel tubes of a 6100LM from 6L6 to EL34? But only the lead channel?
Oh shit, the guy sold the 6100LM to someone else.
I am now PISSED OFF.
I have officially quit my quest for an amp until i get enough money. My parents promised to help me, now i'm screwed. Constantly saying: "oh you know Pedro (my name), money doens't fall from trees you know?" Hell, how on...
theyre not better just diffrent, i prefer marshall's though,they sound more "alive" and crunchy to me. The peavey sounds "end of the world like". Not my kinda thing
nope i didnt Re-EQ after doing that =o. What should i Re-EQ? add midds, gain and treble?
THe low vol compensation switch sounded pretty cool tho it may seem a litle bit clippy
