I picked up this beauty from the postoffice 1 hour ago, and hooked it up right away to test it out



This one is modded by folkesson, awesome mod which makes the tubes work a lot more than
they normally do in this preamp. The tone controls are better etc...

Anyway, here's a clean tone test:  JMP_1_test.wav ( 33.45MB ) : 3034


Recorded only with my JMP-1 into my soundcard with my ESP Eclipse II.
A little EQ to make it a tad brighter as the ESP was a bit dark,
and I haven't exactly had the time to dial in the perfect tones yet


Sounds great to my ears, can't wait to start exploring it
I can only image the cleansounds with my Tele if the Esp sounds like this


Here a new Heavy clip, hopefully this sounds better

Hevvistuff:  JMP_1_Heavy_test_2.mp3 ( 2.16MB ) : 2580

Thanks
I'm not sure how the G-major works, but I'm pretty sure Muris uses one..
You could PM him and ask about it, I'm sure he'll help you out

Congrats! The JMP-1 is probably my most prized posession, hope you'll be just as satisfied with it.
That folkesson mod looks and sounds interesting.. The clean-sound in the sample sounds more spunky and spiffy than i get on my un-modded jmp! ..and it doesnt sound like EMG's at all.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 16 2009, 11:01 PM

Yeah, I've always liked your JMP-1 as well
So it's about time I got my own, hehe..
Yeah, it sounds more alive with this mod, really great..
Can't wait to try some heavy riffing with it soon

Posted by: Tolek Feb 16 2009, 11:11 PM

Sounds really good. The playing is coo, too. I hope that you will have a lot of fun with your new girl.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 12:07 AM

Thanks
Oh, I will! That's certain

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Feb 17 2009, 01:15 AM

Congratulations audiopaal. Can't wait to hear more samples from it, specially some grinding tones.

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 01:30 AM

Very nice.

I am considering one of those or the Engl tube preamp.

Though its a ways down the road...

Posted by: skennington Feb 17 2009, 01:50 AM

Nice Paal but I must say, You my friend, have some serious "Gas".. If I'm ever in Norway, I'm coming straight over to your place... The clip sounded great!

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Feb 17 2009, 10:24 AM

Cool, now give us some samples of the heavy sounds.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 10:57 AM

Thanks, I'll post a Heavy tone-test later tonight



This is an awesome unit, but my guess is that the Engl is awesome as well
Good luck deciding mate



Hehehe, yeah, but I sell some stuff and buy some stuff
But I like having good equipment, that's for sure



I will, I'll post some tonight

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 01:50 PM

We're anxiously awaiting this!

Let's hear some PRIEST!!!!! I believe they use JMP-1's.

Posted by: Muris Varajic Feb 17 2009, 01:56 PM

Since you use G-Major in Loop I believe there is no way to record FROM G-Major
since it sends signal back to your amp with 1/4 cables.
But there are digital outputs there as well so you could give it a shot
if you have an audio card with Digital IN.

Nice sample Paal, now give us something heavy!!

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 02:54 PM

Calm down people, I'll post something Heavy tonight


I will, patience is a virtue my friend

Posted by: MickeM Feb 17 2009, 02:57 PM

Great sound! Very Marshally... no surprise.

Now, post something heavy! I demand it!!

Posted by: kaznie_NL Feb 17 2009, 03:07 PM

That sounds nice

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 03:47 PM

I don't see any heavy samples attached yet.....

Posted by: David Wallimann Feb 17 2009, 04:02 PM

Very nice soundclip!
Great piece of gear you have. Anyway you could share some high gain clips? :-)

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 04:41 PM

Thats a fantastic idea David.

Posted by: sted Feb 17 2009, 04:56 PM

lol! we wont be satisfied until we hear hi gain death tones!!!

Posted by: SensE Feb 17 2009, 04:56 PM

Sweet~ Where do you get this deal ?

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 06:51 PM

2 pages and still no gain......

UNACCEPTABLE.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 09:26 PM

The HEAVY TONE TEST IS UP!!!!
At the bottom of the first post

Enjoy

Posted by: ZakkWylde Feb 17 2009, 09:27 PM

The heavy tone sounds very fuzzy -.-

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 09:34 PM

Yeah, I heard that as well when I gave my ears a break...
I'll post another one later tonight, I think it's clipping a bit as well when I look over the recording

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 09:36 PM

Agreed, lots of high end fizz.

This is direct from the unit itself yes? Have you tried micing it?

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 09:36 PM

Meh, i took it down again.. When I listened to it now it was awful
I'll up another recording later, my ears must be dead after today's work in the serverroom..

Posted by: David Wallimann Feb 17 2009, 09:38 PM

Thanks a lot for the new soundclip!

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 10:17 PM

It's back up again, new heavy clip in first post

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 10:30 PM

Now we're talking!!!!

\m/ \m/


Nice and meaty.

Me likey.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 10:31 PM

Yay!

Yeah, that sounded way better

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 10:35 PM

Now lets hear it in a mix with drums and bass.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 10:40 PM

That will come. believe me
Just be patient mate

I'm waiting for my new computer, mine collapsed so I'm at a not too good laptop atm
But in a week or so I'll post something good

Posted by: skennington Feb 17 2009, 10:45 PM

Now that sounds like some Marshall tone and I'm assuming since you are on a laptop, that the soundcard is some stock piece. I can imagine what it will sound like when it's ran through a quality audio device!

Posted by: ZakkWylde Feb 17 2009, 10:47 PM

Now we're talking! That's some Marshall Metal Tone!

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 10:51 PM

Thanks mate
I'm on a laptop, that's right.. But I'm using a Line6 UX2 soundcard (not my favourite, but works foe now )

I'll post a new clip with bass and drums when I get my new computer and hook up the rest of my equipment


Thanks, glad you like it

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 10:57 PM

No hurry at all.

Just funnin.

I wanna hear the opening riff for "Among The Living".

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 10:59 PM

That can be arranged

Posted by: MickeM Feb 17 2009, 11:04 PM

Would be nice if you also made a rock video out of it.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 11:05 PM

Haha, that would be fun

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 11:10 PM

It'll sound better than the original.

Man, can you imagine classic albums like this redone?

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 11:12 PM

I'd love for Anthrax to remake a few of the old classics, but for that they need Belladonna..
Maybe I should give Belladonna a call, and have him do it with me?

Posted by: jer Feb 17 2009, 11:16 PM

He just may. Whats he doing nowadays.......

Personally I never cared for him.

But something about Anthrax just worked. It was greater than the sum of its parts.

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 17 2009, 11:32 PM

Now that would be cool

I love both him and Bush, just hoping the new guy can sing as well

Posted by: jer Feb 18 2009, 01:19 AM

there are some live clips on you tube.

He's alright.

Posted by: David Wallimann Feb 18 2009, 01:56 AM

The new Heavy clip sounds great!
Thanks!

Posted by: audiopaal Feb 18 2009, 08:24 AM

Thanks

Posted by: sted Feb 18 2009, 10:01 AM

Wheres my credit card..............

Posted by: Toni Suominen Feb 18 2009, 09:28 PM
