Let there be rock…

I'm really digging the three pickup black beauty look at the minute.

I plugged into the Low input and engaged distortion, but at zero, on the advice of another forum member who suggested that when I mentioned that the JCs can sound a little glassy. It helped give me a warmer sound, with a tiny bit of bite if I dig in. The volume was at about 9:00, the mid and two trebles near noon, and bass all the way down. No reverb, nor chorus.

That may have been me. This is the way to use a JC. Works on either input.

If you're seriously JC shopping keep an eye out for a JC-77. It's a 2x10 that's out of production and it's absolutely the JC sweet spot.

Ooof! Report back!

Well, I failed at my original mission. Being too lazy to rearrange gear and assemble a temporary test rig, I took the easy path and plugged the T120 into the Mark VII (fat channel) powered by a generic 9V wall wart.

Then I played for the next 90 minutes starting with a grin, morphing into an ear to ear smile, and evolving into pure bliss stank face.

Oh soooo good!

Master Volume and Presence , Treble, and Bass controls do what you expect them to do.

Volume control acts as input gain, while the 4 Drive positions alter the overall gain potential along with significant changes to the distortion frequency response. Finally, the 6 Depth setting sculpt the low-mids and below for chest thump, wooly earthquakes, liquid sludge, or face melting, decapitating wall of sound.



I've just started exploring the possibilities, and I am looking forward to learning exactly what the T120 can do.
