JCM 2000 demo with Hot Mod V2 Evo and “why?”

[David Szabados]

Quick demo video I did this weekend for those interested showcasing the use of the Hot Mod V2 Evo in higher-gain amps like the Marshall JCM 2000 DSL. In the video I explain why and how it’s beneficial in this application. It’s not just about having more gain per se. Check out the link below.

Would love to hear the stock DSL in comparison to the Hot Mod. But man...the HM sounds fantastic in that amp!!

Yah that sounds fuck'n great.

Curious what speakers inhabit the cab?

Well done David . Surprised that a reverse wired is used. Sounds great.

Those are older Rola-era G12H 30W 55Hz bass version. I probably should have just used a regular cab, but it was a quick and dirty video and nothing pro or fancy

Thanks - and yes, Marshall’s various designers over the years just couldn’t decide where to drive the tone stack between pin 3 or 8. Sonically it doesn’t matter, but just unfortunate we have to build different versions because of it.

Good on you for getting the CORRECT information out.
