Sample JC-2C Clone from 2016 JP-2C in Mesa custom combo cab - thoughts?

All,

 

I am attaching a clone I just completed using a Premium Bubinga Wood Combo Cab with a 12" Black Shadow (Celestion) that Mesa built for me.  The Clone is a little hot so you can reduce the post gain to better sample if you'd like.  This is a very clean patch for use with my 1970 Gibson customized Les Paul which has two reworked 1959 humbuckers I had since about 1974 sitting in a darn spare parts bin.  They were installed along with the bumble bee caps about 2018.  I made the clone using LP pickup selector switch in the middle and vol & tone pots set to 7 (yes all four).  I put note in the clone but had no where to put the JP-2C EQ1 settings

Have you uploaded this to Customtone as well? Might increase the visibility.

@silverhead  Thanks for the suggestion.  I haven't yet.  For now I just wanted the forum users to see if they find this interesting.  It sits well in the mix for me.  However, I am a woody kind of mid boost guy.  All my Mesa amps since 1974 gave me what I liked that way; I've had .  This JP-2C seems to be clearer than the stock Line 6 Helix SXL amp + cabs.  It could very well be the EQ1 settings on the JP-2C Combo I used.  Next time I clone I will have to reduce the level about -5dB below unity or maybe even more.  I had really attacked the strings with a power chord and thought it was slightly below unity in the green.  What I forgot was I was at the 7 setting on all controls of Les Paul and should have at the very least set the volumes to 10.  When I get more feedback I may post to Customtone.

I don't know if this forum provides any feedback re: number of times your attached file has been downloaded. Customtone at least gives you that. Users who have downloaded it can also give it a rating for additional feedback. You may hear total silence here.

I will be creating a new clone soon.  The goal is that the new one will not be required to reduce post gain.  Once I have that one and a channel 2 crunch ready I will see about posting on Customtone.  As always, thanks for your help & support.
