@@Theintruder100 Totally, I understand and it's true. This amp gets better jcm tones, not plexi tones

@@steverobinson9836 yeah yeah, I wish I could remove it. Hope it helps!

Thanks!!! In that case, you just disconnect the tone pot and install the switch there. Make sure that the switch you are going to install is not too hard to move because it can be annoying to use it

Thanks man!! The hum on some valvestates are still a mystery to me

But yeah reverb is lame.

Yes it adds some bass

Good question!!. This is a procedure to follow when your guitar is completely out of adjustment. If you chance strings and keep using the same brand and gauge, you might not have to do anything. Depending on the guitar and the weather you might notice that when the season changes the action can get higher or maybe it will start to buzz but that os due to the neck so you can fiz that with the trussrod adjustment. If a string breaks, just swap it and tune to pitch. When you change tuning, brand or string gauge is when you need to check this procedure top to bottom.

Thank you so much for answering (so fast) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@raphaeloliveira89 I do my best 👍

Enjoy!

Thanks!!!

Man I miss Florida!! I live in Spain now. Thanks so much 🤗. Here I work on guitars for a living and post my work and tips on instagram but it is in spanish though. My account is @alveramps

Thank you!

I'm super glad to hear that!!!!! Now go played it as much as you can 😎😎

The Laney speaker is fantastic!!. The cabinet used in this video is also open back, but since it is a different cabinet, different size and different amp is not accurate to compare them. This was recorded close mic'ed as well, so it would be even harder. Thanks for watching 🙂

Totally!!! I had the 150 head and had a lot fun with it!

Thanks!!

Yeah man, It is a pain to do the intonation but once it's done you rarely need to set it. Unless you change string gauge or tuning key

@@alverduratonejunkiealveram1017thanks for your support. I need to change pickups, and tune a whole step down... Without moving the (miraculously low) action set by the previous owner. And learn how to palm mute without moving the damn thing :-) I will (probably ?) prevail thanks to good people like you.

@@426baron don't worry. Tune down and mostlikely it will buzz. So, you will have to loosen the springs in the back. If the action is too low now is the moment to set it the way you like it

This particular model in the video doesn't have a rectifier tube. I haven't played a tremoverb but Incubus guitar player uses it so it should be good 🤣.

I don't know, apparently a lot of people type in the browser "what is a mesa rectifier" maybe younger generations of players wanna know how to get the 90s tones.

Yes man, it's amazing 🤣

It's a pleasure!

Exactly but I'm sure they have been in millions of recordings

I totally agree man!!! Marks are my favorite Mesa Amps. Rectos I think they sound cool for tones with medium gain like Foo Fighters or so, not for high gain IMO

Yeah you can try an attenuator. The best I have tried is the Fryette powerstation but it is more expensive. THD hotplate is good too, I remember that I got one for like 150 bucks

Thanks!!! I hope everything goes fine and you will rocking that guitar as soon as possible

That's actually one that I scored, Samick 94 birdseye maple top. I talked about it in the video

Yeh, I liked the comparison to your Les Paul Classic, because I feel the exact same way. That Korean Epi is so well made. Appreciate that it can be hit and miss depending on who made them, but I’ve picked up a few Samick ones now and they’ve all been 🔥

@@OneForTheNorth Totally!!!

Thanks man, I appreciate it 😊

Yeah, even though mine was advertised that pickups were 57´s they didn´t have any gibson logo or sticker. Anyway they sounded really good.

You're very welcome

Yeaahhh, it sounds great. I decided not to sell it after I shot this video

It's a pleasure 😊

Yeah awesome!!! A friend of mine bought one amber color from France recently on Reverb.com. they're incredible guitars

Yeah man!!! I'm glad it was helpful!!! Now you go rock that guitar!!! I'm editing more stuff right now

I have a tool-tip for you which might help a lot during the intonation process: the ibanez ejk1000 intonation tool. It is a bit pricey (41€ in Germany but it should be a one-time investment) but it is super precise and the whole intonation took me about 10 minutes. I had to file it a little bit down in order to fit into the notch, but as it is made of aluminum this wasn't a big deal. One big advantage is that you don't need to put out the tension of the string: you put the tool onto the saddle, then intonate, tune the string back to pitch, intonate again... and when the string is perfectly intonated you just tighten the screw of the saddle and remove the tool :)

@@sebastiankurz1533 oh yeah I've seen it and it's awesome. Luckily most of the guitars I setup are normal bridges but one day I will get it for sure

Totally agreee

@@alverduratonejunkiealveram1017 i actually just bought this amp yesterday for 200.00 made in England in 1996 speaker is a Marshall gold back, and it sounds really good

Thanks my friend. I appreciate it!

Thanks brother, I appreciate your comment. And yes, the background music is totally distracting 😄. I wish I could change it or remove it. Sorry ☺️

Thanks man, I appreciate that!. My wah is just the standard one. Cry Babies sound very different from each other, even those that are the same model. I always recommend trying as many as you can until you find the right one. You can tweak the pot to adjust the taper more to your liking

If I remember correctly it is Schecter Damian Riot 6FR

You are awesome man, sorry I put 2 comments on here didn't realize that I did

@troylink9118 You are very welcome man!!! I made this video because I got my first electric guitar when I was like 12 years old and it came with a really crappy licensed floyd. Back in the early 90s of course without internet, I was forced to learn this stuff. I just wanted to share it because I want everyone to avoid the pain of playing a guitar that is not setup properly or goes out of tune and things like that

​@@alverduratonejunkiealveram1017 I understand, my favorite guitar I got from a pawn shop was a Westone Pantera X300 it was made sometime in the middle 80s, it was set up with the guitar and locking Tremolo system already set up. The guitar was beautiful and ever since I lost that guitar to the pawn shop I got it from I have not been able to find another. The guitar I have now is the Kramer Assault 220 black with the red inlay and trim. I have been trying to get one for about 4 years. I talked to Joel a sales rep at Sweetwater music. He said let me see what I can do. He got back in touch with me and said yes, Kramer stopped producing that guitar but there is 1 at the factory. The last one, I jumped on that right away. I have it and I am setting it up watching you. I am 60 yrs old 34:05 😮and have not played in 20 yrs, I knew one fine day I would be back, even though this is not a high dollar guitar, it should be because it plays so great and I knew it would. The price for one on ebay is crazy. Thanks so much you are very much a big help to so many of us. It is all coming back to me pretty quickly, again Thanks

Great to hear that my friend!!!!! Enjoy playing

Well, I don't mind to get another les paul 🤣, or an SG!!. Thanks man!!!

Hola buenas. Este 6505 en particular es hecho en USA. Es el primer modelo que sacó Peavey cuando ya no podía usar el 5150 por romper relación con Van Halen. A partir de no se qué año ya empezaron a hacer todo en China

Thanks buddy. I appreciate that 🤗

Well, If my main tone that I would use like 80% of the time would be the rectifier tone I would get a rectifier amplifier. If you like the rectifier sound only for certain things then this pedal could be a great tool. Keep im mind that the sound of a pedal also depends on the clean channel of your amplifier and not all clean channels make pedals sound good so there is no guarantee

No I didn't. But anyway the schematic is going to be the same except the way the relay is connected. I might have to make a video about this because a lot of people have asked me

Yes please! That would great if you could 🙏

@PhuketMyMac I have to open up my amp soon so when I do I'll show what I did in the amp and how that translates to the schematics

Thanks!! That is a great guitar man!! At least the one I tried in the store I used to work at. I don't get what you say about the fine tuners. Maybe you mean that he kept the stock screws the ones that press the blocks against the strings in the saddle?

Yo creo que todas tienen el mismo tamaño pero no podría garantizarlo porque hay muchos modelos de puentes. Yo primero preguntaría en las tiendas de guitarras que tengas cerca aunque lo más probable es que vayas a tener que pedirlos ppr internet. No se que cosas hay disponibles en tu país pero mira Amazon, Ebay, Mercadolibre y tiendas online grandes también, sweetwater, thomann y cosas asi

Thanks man!!! I haven't seen the JCA100HDM but it should have the same switching system as the JCA20. It uses a DPDT relay for switching in this configuration: The signal goes to the first gain stage and then it splits un two paths, one goes to the crunch gain and the other to the overdrive gain pot and that is responsible for having both gain pots interacting. Each signal goes through their paths and then they meet at one of the circuits of the relay. The other circuit just mutes the overdrive path when the crunch channel is selected. So, what I did was to take out the relay from the pcb and connected it in this way: After passing the first gain stage I took the signal to the second circuit of the relay so it send the signal to the gain pot isolating it from the other pot and the rest you can leave it the same.

Great makes sense, thank you! Btw the JCA100HDM is more rare now, but many put the mods on the more available JCA100 to make it an HDM. Which has a Depth control, 1W resistors...I forget what else. I love my JCA100HDM. Very well built and with the simple SLO mods it's incredible. This video, " Jet City JCA100HDM with "SLO" Mod RubberDuck Tech ch. My goal is just a great Marshall that pulls off the Plexi sound, but with versatility of more bottom end. These Jet City amps have good headroom. I like his 'Marshall' sound...you know the sound. You're mods are great. 🙂 @@alverduratonejunkiealveram1017

@paulj0557tonehead thanks man!! Yeah, it is definitely a great amp. I started doing mods to mine like 8 years ago and still try new things with it. The PCB has held up pretty well because its good quality. The only thing I complain (of the 20watt I have) is that the sound of the transformer changes a lot with volume. Al higher volumes the sound becomes a bit harsh in the midrange. That is something that you would expect in an amplifier of this price anyway.
