this thing is ridiculous....
I've always loved the sound of the old Marshall JCM2000 DSL 100.
Awesome Marshall tone, tons of gain, just fucking fantastic.
BUT...
... this deep switch was absolutely useless, with it in the OUT position, the sound is paper thin and with it IN it's really boomy and unusable for fast thrashy mutes.
the Legendary Tones Mr.Scary mod fixed all that in the most pleasing way.
so I just reduced the gain on the amp (lead1 instead of lead 2), and made up for the loss of distortion and saturation with the Mr.Scary a bit later in the chain.
this plug'n'play mod also has a low switch, which I had disengaged here (and the deep switch on the amp IN).
what I got was all the sound and tone I love from this amp, but it cleared up the low end significantly without making it sound thin.
Now it does fast thrash palm mutes like a champ (this is straight in, no boost).
please excuse the horrible playing, this is quite literally the first time in 3 years that I touched a guitar, but I just wanted to show you why I'm so stoked on this.
This isn't a proper recording of course, it's just my iPhone sitting on the table resting against a big af swimbait, exactly like the studio pros are doing it...🙄
but either way, ignore the playing and iPhone mic quality, you'll still hear how fucking tight this awesome underrated amp has become.
