Nice! The JVM looks good on your Avatar cab.

From the other day:

Yeah, I just need a second cab with the TT on top of it to finish out. I guess I could use the epi Jr cab with the TT... Glad to see the a/b box is getting use. I switched to using a panning pedal so I can blend them which can be alot of fun, blending the maps at the same time the Chopper pedal is on stereo sounds cool as hell... (too much work, but fun none the less....)

Nice pics. My pics were shit, I just wanted to take some as I am settng up insurance on out practice space after my garage got broken into and I lost the baja tele....

Nice ideas on the blend and panning! Still gutted you lost your stuff. Make sure you take serial numbers and email them to yourself.

Have you ever played one of theose GIG FX chopper pedals....Killer pedal. pricey, but between the tru bypass, several types of tremolo sounds (from old school to heavy squareway chopping effect) and the expression pedal to adjust rate on the fly, or to nail it to the ground for crazy sounds, it is awesome.

Nah I've never played one, just seen them online and stuff. a Cool idea.

So lovely. Now you've had more time what would you say were the similarities, differences, pros and cons of the JVM vs the Rockerverb?

Good question.
Overall, the Orange is a lot darker and the JVM has a lot more gain - but then you already know that.
Specifically - the Orange clean channel is wonderful. So warm and responsive - if you get to turn it up high it is wonderous. It'll never do sparkling bright Fender cleans, but that's not what you buy an Orange for I guess.

Regardless of what they say on the Orange forum, the RV has not got enough gain to do really heavy stuff. Without a pedal anyway (which is how I get round it). My favourite sound on the OD channel is with the gain just over midday on the dial. Kind of akin to the JVM's crunch red with the dial at 1 o'clock, but a bit darker and not quite as much bite.
They do sound inherently different, and due to it's versatility and the band I'm in at the moment I use the JVM much more. In fact the RV50 has been relegated to home use for the past couple of months - which it get plenty of, but never at the right sort of volume. However, I do love the sounds I get from this amp!

The JVM is great, but you know that! I like the clean channel, but not as much as the Orange. I use OD1 orange mode a lot and this is the basis of my heavy sound int he band - gain at about 1 o'clock.

If I had a roadie to lug all my stuff around I'd use both with the Orange clean and mid level overdrive, and the JVM for Crunch orange, and edge of breakup and OD1 sounds.
As it is if I had to choose one it would have to be the JVM - it'll never sound like the Orange but it can so so much more.

Cool, thanks for the breakdown dude, it made interesting reading. I'm actually using Crunch Red and OD1 Orange also these days, I just keep finding sounds in the JVM that I like. I love OD1 Green with gain on full - that's my heavy crunch sound.

And Crunch Orange and Red are just so much fun to play - throaty and chunky.

Absolutely - it's got so much to it. I'm overdue another play with the channels to find some new sounds!
The Crunch channel is brilliant, I use it loads!

This is how I'm dialing it in at the moment:




Res and Pres at 12 o clock

1. Clean Green
2. Crunch Orange
3. Crunch Red
4. OD1 Green - Master 2
5. OD2 Orange - Master 2
6. Crunch Green - Master 2

Nice.
I've still got it on:
1. Clean Green
2. Crunch Orange
3. Crunch Red
4. OD1 Orange
5. OD2 Red (I need to change this as I never use it!)
6. Master 1/2 toggle

Don't think I've got a pic of my settings to hand...

so much for the simple pedal setup

haha hurb. i love your pedalboard. best use of ikea slats EVER. including on ikea furniture.

yeah, pedaltrain eat your heart out. at least this is recycling

bed slats>pedalboard>firewood for red hot solo shreding from hurb

66 jag, 68 bandmaster reverb, 68 bassman cab

the original oxfords in the cab were pretty farty, so i upgraded them to a 12f150 and 12a125, a 25w ceramic and 30w alnico. found my box of tubes and switched out the preamp tubes for NOS ones....sounds perfect. I've been banging out surf licks all day.

and here is the latest addition to the pedalboard...a triboost that was busted. this was the first time i've been able to fix something like this in one try. I didn't set the rotary switch to 3 clicks and as a result, it's a septoboost now. then i painted it...it's been cleaned up some since this picture:
