It is brilliant indeed, I'm already addicted to the 'Vox chime' - the JMI is far far better than the (non-handwired) Vox AC4 I used before as bedroom/recording-amp. I just sold my band rig, it was a Orange AD30TC + Orange 212 cab - don't miss it at all.

Concerning the Diamond Compressor: It sounds really nice, I have it for two years now and I hardly ever turn it off. The compression never sounds un-musical to me, even on high compression levels. The EQ knob is useful as well and very precise (at 12 o' clock it is flattened, btw).
Ohh, and it has plenty of volume to boost tube amps!
All in all just a lovely pedal - I had a vintage MXR comp from the 70s first but sold it after getting the Diamond, it is just more versatileâ€¦

I totally agree. I am big fan of this compressor.

I bought her from the security guard at work's lodgers. She's named after Lux Interior from The Cramps; mrsbenecol let me name her because she was pregnant at the time and knew I'd want to call our daughter Lux otherwise. It took me weeks to realise what she'd sneakily done. She's a shy cat, but possibly the one I'm friendliest with.

Plays like butter, obv.

Gorgeous! And the cat! Stewart has me hankering after some French Fancies now.

Nice rig! Is that the 1987 or 1959? What speakers do you have in the 2x12?

2245 jtm 45 reissue
The cab has a Marshall branded celestion heritage and a vintage. I'm toying with changing them at some point, but sounds fucking amazing as it is.

Early Christmas present to myself, had some surprise money in my Paypal account. Though I can't actually use it as I haven't got an 18 volt power supply and my pedal power 2 needs another cable to do it

Got a soul bender arriving tomorrow too

All looks lovely, but amp so close to the wall?!?

Gabriel · Post by **Gabriel** » Mon Dec 14, 2015 9:40 pm

Trying to stop there being too much bleed. There was no real science behind it though haha. Sounded amazing in the room. The amp is actually super loud after the speaker swap.

Had a good session playing this tonight and have realised I need to Feng shui it a bit. The pedals are chained in the right order (apart from the EQ going to move that to after the dirt pedals and before the flange, trem, delay) but all the Dano pedals need to go at the front with the others behind as I kept hitting the knobs on the HM-2 and flanger when I put the trem or distortion on... I just put the ones I use the most at the front but it would appear it isn't that simple.
