JCM800 Cab

[titchyblackcat]

I'm going for almost Djent tone and am trying different amps.

I'm wondering about JCM800 cabs (dual) I'm trying T75 at the minute but it's wooly and ssssssss.

I want the sound of the Treads/Angels but darker as they and the Soldano are a bit shrill.

I've tried bringing down the Treads etc but to no avail. The JCM800 is almost there but just a tad fuzzy

I'm hoping some of you experienced guys may have a preference.

Hey mate

 

I'm certainly not a Djent/Metal player by any means but, in many of the "how to" vids on the web that I've watched, the Djent tone seems to be best "dialled in" by reducing the Master DEP  Volume and  reducing the Sag & Bias values too.( in the DEP Amp Parameters)

I would also try a Low Cut of 100 -130Hz and reducing the Res Level to 0 (zero) ( in the DEP Cab Parameters)

 

Have a search on youtube for Djent/POD HD and I'm sure you'll find a few good "how to" vids.

 

Good searching mate.

Thanks porcytree

I'll try them suggestions when I get home from work. I'm starting to worry about the tones I've made with some of the other amps.

I've thought some are quite shrill but, when I listen to Rock bands like ACDC, Saxon etc their tones are shrill.

It's as if they're cutting the bottom end off the guitar to let the bass come through on the mix.

I definitely like the Marshall (darkish) sound but have difficulty in tightening it up.

Hey there titchy.

 

I forgot to mention before but I have the Global EQ "on" all the time with a Low Cut of 100hz and a High Cut of 6.5Khz.

 

I feel that this eliminates the muddiness in the low end ( especially in the Marshalls) and removes some of the "fizz" ( particularly in the Higher gain/Metal amps)

If I need a little more off the lower end I use the Low Cut DEP setting ( dial it up to 100hz - to match the low cut in the Global EQ - and then increase the cut to taste)

 

Another trick I use from time to time ( less so since the Global EQ was added ) is to use the Studio EQ fx  just before the Amp ( or a OD/Dist fx ) - use the Low Cut with a setting of 150 0r 180 hz and drop the Lo Gain to taste ( usually - 6.0 to - 8.0 db )

I used this on all the Marshall Amp sims to clean up the low end "flub".
