  • In today's episode we run through the bulk of Mayers amp history. Starting off in 2001 we touch on all of the important changes and updates to his amp rigs over the years. Yes, some one off shows and odd cases I left out as they honestly aren't important and at just shy of 25 minutes this video was already long enough.

    Super nice video, Justin. As well as all others on your channel, full of excellent info. Very well done! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the "Heavier Things" rig, with the two vertical 2x12 TwoRock speakers at @04:18 facing backwards, and clearly showing they're loaded with Jensen Neodymium speakers AKA today as the Jensen Tornado 100 speakers. Never knew he had used them, it made my day!

      @@JustinJeske Awesome to hear :) JM has been one if not the main reason why I revamped my love for guitar, in the Trio/Continuum/WTLIS era, so everything about his tone and playing is always super cool to me. Actually a couple of speakers have been developed keeping his strat tone as one of the references, and now I have one more reason to know we were right! Maybe one time we could test them in a video or something... :)

    Great video man ... really great stuff! And finally I have found someone who, like me, thinks that the tones JM was getting with his Dumble Overdrive Reverb and TR were the best ones! I much prefer those tones to the ones he later got from the combo TRJM Sig + SSS. That Dumble Overdrive Reverb had something special going on imo.

    I really believe that John thought he wanted something out of the PRS Sig gear (especially the JMOD) and when it materialized he realized it wasn't really what he wanted but he was too deep in to change his mind, so I'm guessing he slowly tweaks the Silver Sky closer to the BLK1 and the JMOD gets re-developed as an SSS variant at a lower price point. Super cool video Justin.

    • @JustinJeske
      @JustinJeske  3 года назад +4

      Could also do with the BLK1 slowly being retired over the time since the SS was born. Needed to cover a different ground at first but now needs to cover where the BLK1 sat as well.

      @JustinJeske  3 года назад +1

      Yes, he tried two different necks on it and neither felt right. So he still uses it with the original warped neck. Essentially why it’s pretty much retired from being the main stage Fender guitar even. The 64’s taken that spot.

    @ellleigh1216 3 года назад

    Thanks for the video, amazing work! Man I think we can all tell that when the original silver sky and JMOD was released, the tone just wasn’t there. It was just a big ol’ marketing ploy, like what’s happened with the super eagle? They just made a super expensive PRS, slapped his name on it and knew it would sell. The silver sky is going through a number of changes to be closer to the BLK1 and I’m sure theJMOD will start sounding like the Dumble soon.

    • @JustinJeske
      @JustinJeske  3 года назад +1

      I mean I personally don’t think it was all just a big marketing ploy but I agree with the tone. The Jmod has actually been receiving updates like the SS behind the scenes as production moves on and John’s personal ones change.

    The three amp set up with the four 2-12s, TR, SSS and Bandmaster may not have been for volume but it was certainly loud. I saw this tour in SAP arena and there was no guitar in the PA. The stage volume was carrying everything. In the days of soundmen telling every guitar player to use a Princeton and let them mic it, including playing it back though the wedges, it was interesting to hear that much stage volume from an amp rig.

    I have an Alessandro deluxe reverb. Unless John has some obscure modded deluxe Alessandro made for him, the Alessandro fender amps are pretty simple. There are two Deluxe Reverb configurations. 1- the standard ‘65 “reissue” circuit 2- the ‘68 custom deluxe reverb circuit (not a reissue circuit). Alessandro will wire either of those circuits in your amp. The Alessandro stuff is simply all the PCB components removed and replaced with a point to point component turret board. Essentially Alessandro takes new Fender amps, gut them and replace the pcb with all hand wired stuff like they did prior to the pcb era amps and put a GA64 speaker in it. The transformers are reused, the chassis is the same, the circuit is the same, just hand wired in either a straight up ‘65 reissue or the ‘68 custom deluxe circuit. You can choose either circuit for either face color amp too. He offers this hand wire service for most fender amp circuits to the general public.

      do you like the amp? i'm close to purchasing one, ive heard some ppl say its kind of a mini steel string singer, agree? I'm basically between the alessandro deluxe reverb, fender hand wired 64 deluxe reverb or modern vintage like a dual profesional or vibro king. Only problem with the vibro and DP is they are such super monster wattage amps at 60w and 100w, feel like i dont need that power for at home play as cool as it would be to own one.

I’ll never not have one and this one will be in my casket with me when I die. Handwired fender amps are life changing. Get an Alessandro Dlx Rvb and you won’t regret it. I promise.

In 2019 the J-Mod was running through the 1x12 in the center so I assume based on that and the actual tone being closer to the sound when it was just the JM Sig and the Dumble the J-Mod is actually less in the mix and not filling as big of a role if anything. Just for the 2019 Tour at least.

    In one of his smartphonevideochats or interview (sorry I can't remember but it can be found on the internet), John was talking about Jerry Garcia's gear. He pointed out that he personally is not a fan of Twin Reverbs not because they are objectively worse than SSS\Milkman\PRS\Whateverboutique, but because the main characteristic of the amp is not what he's looking for his sound. He said that he's looking for some kind of direct punch while the Twin Reverbs are known to be spongy and "laggy"(?), but that characteristic was indeed what Jerry was a fan of.
    So, just to wrap things up, it's really not about chasing the "whateveramp" because it's objectively better than Fender, but it's about chasing "whateveramp" because it gives a characteristic that you are looking for in your sound.

    • @JustinJeske
      @JustinJeske  2 года назад

      I don’t think anyone thinks John uses them cause they are “better”. He likes the Fender thing and the Dumble thing and has repeatedly said the Two Rock is the best of both Dumble and Fender amps, which he likes in that combination. Agreed on John liking stiff, immediate sounding amps. It’s why he loves the Dual Professional so much.

      It depends on the Era. Born & Raised was W/D/W, the whole 2019 World Tour wasn’t. It was mono straight into the front of the amps. For example.
      In terms of like the Bricasti’s it again depends. In the JMOD loops 2017 World Tour, but in the mixing console for 2019 so we don’t know what capacity they got used in then, but they were there.

      ​@@JustinJeske wow didn't expect to get an answer cause I was just being curious haha. Thank you! I notice his acoustic guitar tone actually got better through the year as well. Once I watch an acoustic live session he did many years ago and the tone was just horrible. Never like the sound of a piezo pickup.

    In a caption you claim he’s using SSS 004 in 2012, but then later in the video you claim he gets 004 in 2016.
    Dude, I’ve watched three videos of yours and all three had errors in the information you’re purporting as fact. If you want to claim to be an expert and put this information out there at least get it right.

      Erik I’ve already responded to your three comments yet you’re incapable of replying back to me for some reason. I never claim to be 100% accurate when it comes to Mayer’s gear, know everything about every single thing, or that I don’t make mistakes in editing. You just clearly can’t understand that so feel free to just not watch my content anymore or even better, create your own! I see you post in the John Mayer Gear Lounge on Facebook!

      Not incapable, just hadn’t seen the replies. I understand you haven’t claimed to know every single thing about every single thing, but if you’re going to tell folks about the “top things people get wrong” then at least be right about the things you do purport to know. You’re making highly niche content about nuanced subjects. And you’re doing a fine enough job of it. But if you’re sharing technical information be certain so people aren’t confused. They come to this channel specifically for those details. Keep up the good work though, it’s broadly correct and you’re doing well.

      Mike his main contact and go to at Fender leaves, someone who he could call up and chat with on ideas or just have as a main contact. Someone who made him feel valued. Fender as a company does not try to continue that relationship with him more or less. Feels like a company and not people he is dealing with. (Jyst of it). He tries to give certain ideas on products and they decline. Not wanting to work on stuff other than what they want with him. He says, okay no hard feelings and seeks out a smaller, more personable brand that he can work with the creative people more directly. He calls PRS and gets a phone call back from Paul himself. They work on the Super Eagle and Jmod first. Not the Silver Sky, that came after their relationship was 4 years in. Mayer has said he has no bad blood or issues with Fender at all. Just the sad truth their relationship was never the same so why stay.
      Two Rock’s ownership at the time just saw him as a cash cow and went against things they agreed on, behind his back. So he ended his relationship with them. Anyone would have. I won’t go into specifics on this out of respect for the new ownership who I know for a fact is working so hard to mend this and make it right.
      So yeah. If you think he’s a drama queen and souring relationships… okay lol.
