      @Leon Todd. My 2 favorite rack mount pre-amps. MP-1 and my all favorite the ADA MP1. Don't forget "Character Tone" Hope you like the actual Nuno Bettencourt settings I got from his tech and ADA for the ADA MP-1 I sent you.

    Many years later I'm still drooling over it. I'm a big Smashing Pumpkins fan and this thing gets the MCIS tone big time!

    The Marshall JMP-1 is one of 6 preamps I run in a MIDI rig. Along with it, the ADA MP1, the Rockman XPR, the Mesa Rectifier Recording, the Black Widow MGP-1a, and the KSR Ceres.
    Using a switching system, these all trigger with one press. They patch into assorted output sections. EL84 tubed Peavey Classic 50/50. EL34 tubed Marshall EL34 50/50 and 6L6 tubed Mesa Stereo 2:One Hundred.
    Beyond the power amps, Alnico Blue, Greenback, Creamback, Vintage 30, & Alnico Gold speakers with SM57 or e609 mics. And beyond those mics, real mic preamps.
    This is because many of the studio recordings I’ve always listened to growing up were done with this gear. There’s more to it, of course, more amps and more speakers, but the rack preamps aren’t connected to effects loops in my setup. I don’t use effects loops.
    The lines that come into the computer are bone dry. No effects anywhere in that chain, and those are what I record. Bone dry mic lines are used in all my songs. For the effects, those dry lines are sent out an AUX, through an Eventide Harmonizer, and they have their own return lines. These are then recorded themselves, a dry and wet.
    A lot of top end fizz is trimmed away on the dry mic line, which happens as soon as it enters the computer, they receive a Fabfilter Pro Q2 with some shelving. That’s it.
    This is old gear, voiced 35 years ago. Old technology, still working today. It’s not dependent on a computer to function, so when you upgrade your PC, no worries, the shit still works.
    The preamps are all vastly different flavors, nothing sounds like a Rockman XPR. ADA & Marshall are close, and Black Widow and Mesa are close, but nothing is alike.
    The KSR Ceres is a pedal, which is a preamp pedal without a power supply, so it’s noisy beyond any of the others. So much noise, noise gates do not contain it. Sounds great when you’re playing through it, but needs some edits done to trim away noise during silence, so I will be giving it to a student (my friend’s son, good kid).
    I have all these lines I can choose from, to help me understand and balance the system. If one of the amp/speakers sounds like trash there’s a reason why. And it has helped me to have ‘known goods’ to determine matching levels, matching EQs, etc.
    A mic preamp is a line amplifier itself, so this can be used to balance everybody, it can also be used to make amps behave in a pleasing manor. If you want touch sensitivity, a hot level on the mic pre will force you to underplay, and enhance those distinct harmonics.
    I am no professional, not educated in guitar, no formal education in music, no formal education in recording, I have never played in a band. What I am, is interested in learning and posting those results here on YT. Not saying my gear is better than your gear, my guitar is better than your guitar, none of that. I am willing to lose, happy with last place finishes, don’t mind being ignored, not here to teach you to shred or understand jazz scales. I am not bothered that Tyler Larson of Music Is Win posted a video of me titled Guitarists Who Suck.
    The handful of people who subscribe to my channel realize this, I do it for the joy of playing music, the small successes of recording a good sound. I’m the only person in my family who plays music, moved out of the house when I was 18 and started my own family, raised them, all adults, all functioning members of society.
    And soon, my time will be done. At peace, however, knowing people like you carry the fire. You’ve been great Leon, a good friend, a friend to all. I appreciate that the most. Take care, see you soon.

    For years & years my main rig was a Marshall JMP-1 into a Marshall 9200 series power amp with a JFX-1 in the effects loop. All this into a Marshall 1960A. Great rig!!! I loved the midi for it to talk to the JFX. I was even able to MIDI switch the power amp voicing

    • @LeonTodd
      @LeonTodd  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @davidlambert5123
      @davidlambert5123 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Leon Todd it was actually the Marshall JFX-1 that did the voicing switching to the power amp. Everything was hooked up by MIDI for the JMP-1 & JFX-1 to talk to each other, but it was just a standard patch cable from the remote switching output of the JFX to the 9200. They almost seemed to all be designed to work together. If you ever see one of those JFX units, I highly recommend them.

    @larslevinberget9558 ปีที่แล้ว

    That was the 1990s go-to preamp which killed the ADA MP2 and gave the Triaxis competition ... packed with 4 useful sounds mimicking the JTM edge, JMP crunch, JCM800 lead and the 9001clean. Lacking a compressor, but the speaker simulation output was the best of it's time, and the parallell efx loop a godsend for our stereo digital multi efx unit

    Take from a guy who was playing in bands when these came out and shortly bought one. Follow the JMP-1 with a BBE then in to the power amp. Every guy who had one of these in his rack used a BBE with it. Well, any guy who wanted to sound good did. That preamp goes from a so so 2-3 to a 10 with the BBE (both knobs set at 1 O'clock). BTW, still have one and still love it.

    If you want to take the speaker sim to the next analog level, pair this up with the ADA Ampulator rack power amp and speaker emulator. Run the non speaker sim outs from the JMP to that, and from the ADA to your interface. Quad track some rhythms with a few different options selected on the ADA. Gets huge.
    The first few Filter records were a Mesa TriAxis into ADA Ampulator and then into the console. Wheee!

    Excellent video!! I know Billy Gibbons used this with a Marshall power Amp and his tone is unreal. Just don't think I'd want to go 100% this route. It would be fun, to have one of these, to play with and see what I could come up with, but I'd stick with my current rig. I have 2 old Laney heads, which i switch between. . Both are the 1986 AOR heads. One is a 50 and the other is a 100. By themselves, they remind me of a plexi, but I think the Laney sounds better, than any Marshall I've played through. The core of my tone, is the AOR head into a matching 4X12 cab. I use an old Tube Screamer, into the front end, to push it just a little, which is pure magic. As for effects, I use a Behringer V Amp Pro for chorus, delay, and other effects. I also use a Zakk Wylde wah, to accent bends, pinch harmonics, and such. I use a 2 channel wireless and for guitars, my main ones are Les Paul's, all from 2000, 2003, and 2006, and a 1988 Jackson USA Custom Shop Soloist.

    These preamps still hold their own but surprisingly I’ve found running them into the fox return on a Marshall head doesn’t give the greatest of results. I tried mine through my JCM900 and JVM410HJS and it was ok. Then I bought a Synergy 5050 and was like WOW! If you’ve never heard one I’d highly recommend it. 100 watts (or 50/50 stereo) in a single rack space. Pretty insane sounding.

    I watch Many of your reviews & you always get the thumbs up from me,
    However, Time line 13:38 . . . .
    If the volume Knob on the front pannel is set to aprox 9 o'clock & you adjust the volume perameter up instead, the outcome will be drastically different.
    I know you love the AxFx, but after almost 30 years, the JMP1 & Triaxis have proven to be in a league of their own and are still a main pre amp in some incredibly great performers rigs. . . . Out into a BBE & tc G-Force . . . Wow 😎
    Cheers, Bk

      I think so . Still have mine from new. Into a JCM900 power amp section. Oddly I have found the speaker emulator outs best.🤔
      Might be in part because I run it parallel back into a switcher, same tone , less noise 🤨
      Takes dirt and boost into the front well. And the effects loop is good, despite all the hate, once you get it.
      Send to your effects rack of choice leave the effects blend open and you'll dig it. So often a hair of modulation is all you want.
      the send is post and then it blends , so you can also send pre the JMP but return to the effects blend if you want say clean reverb or delays
      Storing is quick and if you don't want midi you can run a 4 x preset foot switch.

    Clean 1 is actually the one that does the cool edge-of-breakup sound. I think people try Clean 1 with the gain set low and it sounds and feels dead so they dislike it and change to Clean 2, which immediately sounds more present, but really it's pretty plinky and spiky at high volume.. and it does not break up nice. Try Clean 1 with the gain at 15 or higher. It's nice and full with less plink and sustains almost like it has some compression on it... and it breaks up in a smoother more musical way.

    I am curious about the output level on the JMP-1, is it really quiet?
    I ask because most of my preamps can put out a ton of level and way too much for an effects loop if cranked fully.
    Normally I run most of my preamps main output at fifty percent or less, the only one that I have to crank is an Engl E580. Fully cranked it gives +4db.

    Idk if there's some kind of hidden market that's really hungry, with these rack preamps, but people are asking for 400-600 euros for these and Lee Jackson units, pre or power amps. Funnily enough I watched Nielsen's vid, then your old vid (thinking that you didn't touch the emulation topic at all) and when I finished, you had released this new one. It's a nice sounding unit, UI could have like tone control knobs and just some different amp modes like JTM, JCM etc if you could improve it today.
    The emulation is also impressive for the time the unit was released, Nielsen actually sounded better like that than his through amp tone in the video, in my opinion. Funny thing about the tube critique is that the clipping diodes were one of the favourite mods in the marshalls. Like in your jose mod video. And became a very common thing in design in general. Also people throughout the history have made legendary sounds with their clipping diode pedals into their tube amps. Although in the 2000's internet was full of weird purism arguments that often were hypocritical or made no sense. Much like today as well, I guess. The weird sound was a bit like gated fuzz, cool special effect hidden in this.

    I run my JMP-1 through master out in my audio interface and I use Mercurial Reaxis as power amp sim, and NadIR as IR loader.
    I want to get a rythm tone close to Deftones (Around the Fur/White Pony era).
    Can you give me tips to get my JMP to sound like that ?
    It would be great if you could also tell me what output level and channel volume I should use.
    I hope you'll read this comment.

    The Rockmaster is nice, don't get me wrong, but it also uses clipping diodes (if that's the basis for people saying the JMP is the inferior unit). Trace at Voodoo Amps told me this almost 20 years ago. I used to have one and it really is a nice unit. Can't compare it to the Marshall as I've never played it. The Marshall does have midi, so you'd need an external midi controller with the Rockmaster to change its channels along with an effects unit. I used a Peavey MidiPro with mine until units started coming along that could switch amp channels and effect unit presets at the same time. I think the G Major was one of the first that did that.
