I’m kind of OK without the Marshalls.

I’ve been using Marshalls so heavily for so long in a way it’s fun to not have that option so it forces me to find different approaches



The Friedman is good, but I just don’t like the Friedman sound. The Soldano surprised me, it’s really great for the high gain hot rodded Marshall stuff.

Honestly; I am hooked on the JVM. So the only thing with JVM models in it is going to be the FAS stuff. So I kind of have my own niche 'need' in that regard.

And how does this help solve your problem, exactly?

I feel like maybe you sort of did the same thing I’m doing of being in Mesa land so long the JVM is a nice change of pace?

Well, the reason I sold the FM9 was because when I’m doing shows my right foot is glued to the volume pedal and my guitar is sitting on my right leg, so I need to use my left foot to hit most of my footswitches.

This made the FM9 annoying because all the footswitches are on the right side.

So I was going to swap for an FM3 + FC6 so I could flip that around and have all the footswitches on the left. But then I decided it would be fun to do something totally different for a while.

And technically the TMP also solves that problem

I still rock the Boogie models. JVM just has that thick saturated modern Marshall goodness that hits me juuuuuuuuust right \m/

Right. So if my right foot is on that volume pedal and my left foot is free to hit footswitches it’s a lot harder to reach all the way over to the switches on the right side of the unit.

Keeping in mind that while I’m doing this I’m reading music so I often can’t look down and I often cant take my right foot off the volume pedal.

It’s just much easier to hit switches oriented closer to my left foot

I mean, are you spread eagle while playing?

'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

OMG why is everyone so concerned with how I use my footswitches!?

I prefer having the switches closer to my left foot. That works better for me.

What’s the big deal about that? Why do you guys care so much about that?

Nah. I'm sure you could get those in the QC.

They just wanna give you shit for preferring the TMP to the FM9.

And yeah bro. You cray cray!!

IJK. Play what you like!

Let's just chalk it up to bored Monkeys with discretionary time on our hands babbling.

Awww, it's ok.....

For the record, this decision to go with the TMP and simplify my signal chains was not inspired by EJ. I didn’t even know he was using one until after I got mine

“It’s gotten so crazy. We need to return to raw basics – just playing straight into an amp”: Eric Johnson says the ever-expanding world of guitar gear has resulted in “so much option anxiety”

As the amp modeler and digital multi-effects markets continue to grow, Johnson has responded with a back-to-basics record that demonstrates the benefits of a stripped-back signal chain

Because we care about you. And your groin muscles.
