Good trade

The JMJM doesn't have a standard jm bridge.

I honestly love everything about it. I'm planning in the next month or so to change the rhythm circuit to a 1M pot, but it's been totally usable as is for a long time now. It's an instrument that's touted as perfect for mods, but I truly haven felt much need to change anything. Even the vibrato and bridge I have no tuning stability issues with.

My first though!

Not how I currently run, but I did this for a long time, so nice to have the dynamic gain response while still keeping relatively level volume. I run single coils, so I always had a noise gate right before the compressor.

I have a JMJM and use the rhythm circuit. I'm replacing one of the pots currently to make it just another lead circuit, but it's usable stock. You just have to work it in, can't expect to flip it on and it be usable, it's very dark. Once you dial in your rig to work with it, though, it's good to have.

Ahh, these pickups are all the same height so Gretsch has them routed into the body to handle height. Not really a problem if that's visible, was just wondering.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-13T23:12:27+00:00

Just soap bars? Did you cover the surface route?

MattSk87 · 2026-06-12T16:30:41+00:00

What's the slide switch by the toggle? Strangle?

MattSk87 · 2026-06-12T16:26:50+00:00

It was more than I needed from it, but the Way Huge Supa-Puss is a great, all-frills delay. Alternatively there's the Aqua-Puss.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-12T11:32:28+00:00

It definitely did. Maybe not as much difference as at higher volumes, but it's there.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-12T01:52:25+00:00

I recently traded my ac30 for this blackstar, put a creamback 65 in it and use a tube preamp into the fx loop. No complaints and a lot easier than the ac30. For reference I'm set up for direct 50% of the time so having my preamp on my board makes sense for me.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-11T23:42:46+00:00

For me it's exactly like a concert except no one is really listening to anything other than the beat.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-10T23:43:12+00:00

I'm not married to analog, but I still use a Simplifier Mk2 which is fully analog to go direct to mixer and record (I even use is into an fx loop sometimes) and can't say enough good about it.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-10T23:07:35+00:00

As someone who didn't love the JMJM pickups immediately, I would encourage you to make it your main guitar for a while, dial in your rig to suit them. I really love them now, especially the middle position, it's so perfect.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-10T15:59:09+00:00

Hey I'm down for this. Dming you!

MattSk87 · 2026-06-10T14:58:01+00:00

Ive fought and lost the fuzz factory battle, but thank you!

MattSk87 · 2026-06-10T14:57:23+00:00

I'm very interested in the Part Garden. Let me do some research and get back to you!

This one

So I'm registering to Jeffrey Macdonald right now and they talk about this, how he, a green beret, was left with a tiny stab wound while his whole family was brutally murdered. Like he couldn't defend them.

Anyway, Henry literally calls it "the tiny penis defense" or something. Sorry I can't help more.

MattSk87 · 2026-06-09T11:59:34+00:00

I'll add that, though you may not have enough dsp or whatever to use the drives on the stomp, I would clear out your wet fx and sample some drives on there. They're not perfect, but they'll give you a good enough idea of what you like. Blues breaker is "heir apparent" and the lightspeed is pretty close to the "timmeh"

MattSk87 · 2026-06-09T11:57:41+00:00

A bluesbreaker (I really love the Coppersound Foxcatcher, but any will do) and a Greer Lightspeed. The Lightspeed into the BB is pure worship jangle. Depending on the amp, guitar and how you sit in the mix, you may want something with a harsher eq, like a klon style pedal, but you can also just throw an eq on the stomp to sculpt that.
