Nice tone dude!!!

WHat's your setup cuz I really dig the sound that's coming out of your first axe (which by the way looks awesome in all white

).

Again, I think you should raise your voice when you speak but your vids are really cool man!

BTW Nice accent! (just kidding)

bro, respects respects respects for your tone. simply superb!

JimmyJ · #4 10-23-2004, 03:33 PM

cheers for the props on the tone!!!!!!!!!! i love it too

the tone was just that guitar and my boss gt6 and my 1980`s peavey bandit!

if anyone wants the gt6 patch i made just sing out

themaidenmaniac · #5 10-23-2004, 07:27 PM

cool, jim. I love the jimmy J chronicles! You're gonna have to release them on DVD for us all soon

haha.

Well, i thought the paf in the bridge on the 550 sounds much better with that particular sound than the fred in your 570- the fred sounds much more trebly and evil. Great Idea mate!

Yeah, i'd love to try the patch mate- ive got some very similar but that ones sounds really cool.

Is your amp (bandit aint it?) valve or digital? And also, if you're going to put the Gt6 settings up then could you attach your amp settings too please?

Also, what was the song- i cant remember the name of it

Cheers coba

also that riff i was trying to play was the bit out of Incantation by steve vai. i had the riff in my head for weeks so i finally sat down and worked it out, im playing it about 40 times too fast too! hahha

JimmyJ · #8 10-24-2004, 07:22 AM

just a quick one

who do you think the tone sounds like? i didnt model it off anyone in particular, i just built the tone from scratch, i think it sounds vai`ish but but really

kinda like having my own sound

OME · #9 10-24-2004, 10:17 AM

jim - if I may -

I like the tone, but on one hand, I knew instantly you were playing
with a processor. I think you can get more balls out of your guitars
'cause you got 'em set up nice. If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have
been able to tell you switched guitars...I saw the first video you did
and your guitars were growling...I can't remember what set-up you
had though.

I use a processor to record mostly, playing live to a backing track
they just don't set well with the mix to me. Gotta have a pedal.

and MEGA props for using the Peavey Bandit, the older Peaveys
are monsters

nice vid

But, you really have to do something about the volume level next time! As your microphone (in the vid) felt on the floor, my subwoofer (with the volume cranked up to hear your voice) felt on the floor too.

JimmyJ · #11 10-24-2004, 11:10 AM

the growling was with the tonezone in the bridge

hehe as for the effects processor, yeah i know, but i use what i can you know

I personally liked the sound of the 2nd guitar better, little bit brighter/more defined. I don't think it fit that "riff/sound" better though. I liked the first guitar for the riff you were playing, but as far as something in the broad spectrum of things I liked the 2nd guitar more. Hope that made sense to everyone.
