YJM100 - 'The Ultimate Plexi' thread!

[Holme]

This is how bad I am!
Upstairs I have a Vox Satchurater & a MXR ZW that I had BEFORE I got my YJM in 2011-
And I STILL haven't tried them!
How bad's that!

 

[dash8311]

Haha pretty bad.

At least plug them in for a few seconds each to realize how great the YJM really is and that it doesn't need much in front of it

Pe-dal?? I rarely use pedals through my amp. I have a bad monkey and a boss me-50 but they just collect dust.

 

[FennRx]

I have the me50. I use the ts setting; lately I've found my strat sounds pretty good with the rat

 

[dash8311]

I've heard good things about the Bad Monkey (PhilX?)

Here is goldie going into an EP boost, up just shy of 50% then into the YJM, UNBoosted.

Some Black Crowes-

I don't need the on board boost anymore imho.....

Here is a clip when i turn the EP off, around the :40 sec mark in this-

You can here it get really weak sounding. Towards the end I re-engage it. Big difference. Almost like two channels if you ask me.

That EP pedal is just what I was seeking for this.


BUT....the Shanks doesn't sound AS full with the EP/YJM.

Sultans of Swing and Black Magic Woman, again YJM unboosted-

I found out about it through him. It works brilliantly with my VM, but it makes my YJM a bit too loud for my liking. Great for a master volume amp though.

Sounds good!

If I was to get another pedal I think I'd like a decent delay!
What delay pedals are you guys using & do you use them with the FX loop or up front?

Thanks. The only thing in the YJM's loop is a Boss DD7 digital delay. On my AFD, I have a TC flashback, old boss chours, univibe, Boss reverb (I need to remove it I hardly use it) and a Boss harmonist.

I always run my delays in the loop, I don't like the way the retain too much of an imbalance with the dry/wet sound when ran in front. That's a huge reason why I hardly play the JCM1 because of the lack of a loop. The TC has a lot more features imho than the Boss DD7. I used to use a DD6 for many many years, but it fried itself somehow. I actually think it sounded better than the DD7 does for some odd reason.

I have been using my trusty old Fulltone ACD V4 in front when I want some extra hair...and a DD3 in the loop (but barely use it).

I am running the ACD at 18V in LP mode (seems more transparent to me). Vol, gain, and tone a touch past noon.

Once in a while I put a Retrosonic phaser in front for some swirly fun.

Thats it kiddies.

P.S. I've stopped jumping channels lately too. With my LP, it has a bit more bite and I'm digging that tone more right now. Tone controls at 7 and CH1 maxed.

Fukken bliss.

I've been using the Vega Pro 58 as a pseudo-boost and sounds great! Very tactile and touch sensitive, almost an SVDS... almost! Waiting patiently for the SoloDallas Replica

...make shift coat hanger antenna lol

Fil just made a thread the other day, the pedals are ready for preorder.

I've been following it's progress very closely over the past two years, he has a close knit follow it seems. It'll be a great to finally play one.

Ordered a guitar yesterday... Details to follow in the coming weeks during it's build.

For any interested YJM enthusiasts there is a good one on Ebay Australia at present , seems to be in mint condition according to the seller

 

[Grogshla]

that amp is way overpriced. For 30 dollars more than they are asking you can get a brand new one over here.

 

[seattleman1969]

I told my girlfriend to take a better picture of me and make me look cool and her reply was something like
"You're not actually very cool... so how am I going to do that..?"
I wept

Ouch.....

Tube rolling and experimentation weekend coming up.

Going to try 2 6L6GC in the 1 & 3 positions first. Then 2 & 4.

Then 1 2 3 & 4.

I've never tried different valves!

 

[Redstone]

I've got a Tung-Sol 12AX7 in V1 in the pre-amp. Sounds kinda good, not much of a difference, just a little more grit
