What Amp Are You Playing Today?

[spawnofthesith]

I'd like to snag one of the Marks

I bet he could build you a JVM/Mark Hybrid

First time I recorded the tone - sounds a little muddier than I'd like but I'm still tweaking.

I still can't believe how long I snoozed on these DSLs. Half overjoyed/ half kicking myself about it. Sunday's "Dad Sabbath" jam was a DSL100H into 4x12. I had a QC with one DSP providing 4cm (Klon pre; tape delay and plate post) and the other providing vocal effects in parallel (out to Yamaha HS80s). It sounded fantastic! No joke: possibly the most fun I've ever had playing music in my entire life.

Yeah this is in 4CM with my SD-1 and my QC for cab + chorus!

So many NICE amps in here. Keep up the GAS work!

Here's the one I got last week. Can't wait to rip my bandmates a new one this Thursday.

OG Resonance knob:

Sounds like a blast \m/

Will add… crab Marcus through a thiele kind of obliterated other guitarists mini recto through a vert 2x12… probably just stage side bias but who knows

I’ve given accolades to this guys rig when I’ve been in the audience


Hard to tell idk


Also their practice space drives me fucking nuts. They have it hyper dialed to their own band but shit hits the fan every time I enter the rehearsal space and they aren’t well versed enough in engineering to fix it any time I’m there


Oh I did also set the 750hz to neutral on the crab for the show…

Yours is stock?

Curious how my modded 87x compares to a stock model boosted?

Isn’t yours a Monomyth? If so it’s basically an entirely new amp built in the chassis, it’ll have little to nothing in common with a 1987x.

Always been curious about this one! Any chance you can make some clips or NAM or ToneX models or something? Such a cool oddity.

i just did this velvet revolver song today going for a rocking thing, its my LTD PB500, EHX gloveOD boosting and a k100. i gotta get a toneX and make some profiles. some proper Slayer clips would probably be cool too

Both sound great man, what an awesome amp. Bet it’d rip for Mastodon stuff.

thanks!! its different from anything else i have, im gonna guess its the KT88's, its kind of smoother and has a thick roundness thats unique.

Is it the Schumacher transformers as in the Rev + Krankenstein? or old Sovtek Mig parts? curious to see the guts and inside if you’ve ever peeked too.

Would have been really interesting to know what would have happened had that amp gone into production as a Krank product. I think the Marshall version is cool and makes sense, but Krank having Dime and Kerry would have been interesting.

im not even sure about the transformers, ill have to look. the board says made for kerry king on it with a number, but whoever had it before me covered it up with that silver stuff you can see in the corner of the board, i gotta try and get it off

It is 70s spec now, that's how I like my Plexi.
2.7k+0.68uF
0.0022uF
100k from 4ohm tap

The modern stock reissue 1987x comes with '68 specs:
820+0.68uF
0.022uF
100k from 8ohm tap

Yes.

Pretty sure many, if not all, of the Monomyth mods are tweaks vs rebuilds.

I know for the Origin amps he mods them to JCM800 then tweaks them.

Here is a gut shot of mine:

It looks like they literally just put the board of the MXR 10 Band EQ in there. Jacks and all. Fucking awesome.
