Is Dave Mustain right when he talks about the JVM?

[lowinput]

Dave is talking in some utube vids about the JVM. He says it's the ultimate amp head for him. it's being used exclusively in the studio now.
(he says he tours with another marshall amp and an amp modeler)
Is it the best studio amp marshall has made?
I can see Dave can get all sounds he wants from it at any level of volume.
The different channels would be a great help as well.
I think dave might be onto something here!

And those speaker boxes would be the ultimate as well. He talks about 'maximum punch' is the reason for the sealed and standard size. He said he was playing the Mode 4 boxes prior to the sig cab deal.
(I can see the reason for useing the mode 4 cabs, and could have been used on the end game recording) From what he said I think this is true.

All this adds up to some interesting info.
(maybe Joe satriani is thinking along the same path. the JVM is the best tool in the shop) Does Joe use standard V30's (dave wouldn't comment about his speakers in the vid)

I can see how other marshall models would have great sound but might miss something in studio use. do these other models make a difference in the studio? frank zappa used little pignose amps to record some songs.

Anyone want to comment?

I think what one person uses in the studio, another guy would simply not. Tone is subjective, and when recording tone is everything.

Satriani uses standard B cabs with 75's.

I can't take anything Dave Mustaine says seriously.
that said, these guys only play loud-rehearsal,recording,live,except for maybe warming up backstage & I doubt Dave bothers w/ that much.

tone is in the ears...

tone is in the ears...[/QUOTE] and the hands. We need a smilie with big ears.

Dave is one of the biggest gear whores in the business. Take anything he says with a grain of salt. He's been through BC Rich, Jackson, Marshall, ESP, Line 6, Rocktron, Digitech, Bogner, Custom Audio Electronics, Fractal...

With that said, the JVM certainly IS a beast.

Well he would know what is ultimate for him, wouldn't he?

I know what is ultimate for me, do you know what is ultimate for you - that's the real question.

 

[Ghostman]

....do you know what is ultimate for you - that's the real question.

Are you experienced? :cool2:

I'm a huge Megadeth fan, but I don't think I'll get an argument when I say he's not known for his killer tone.

That being said, the JVM is a BEAST of an amp. I've only played one at a big-box shop for only a few minutes and I'd give up anything for one of those amps. There is so many things you can do with that amp, it's sickening!

What did you think about the JVM's performance when Dave played with metallica in the utube clip 'phantom Lord'? I thought it was pretty good. I thought the mic could have been better placed.

 

[Vinsanitizer]

The JVM's good.
Also, I like Dave's religious and political views.

 

[Australian]

He was right when he chose Marty Friedman as a guitarist.

 

[Dogs of Doom]

I know he just sold a whole bunch of 1960 cabs & some EL34 100/100 amps...

WOW, that's interesting! he's onto something, I recon. watch this space.
I think dave knows what he's doing now.
He did make mention of marshall's being in the middle of the sound spectrum (hurtz)
"what you want is the mid range of the marshalls, for the guitar", dave.
