Cube - interesting info there. Where does the JSX fit in that review of amps you own/tested?
Im also wondering why Joe would use the Marshall if it's tone limited as such?
Any thoughts on Diezel too?
Cheers

Chelle,
Not a "chickenfoot sucks" person, but no way a blind follower either. Yeah, lyrics are an issue, but most R&R over the years has had stupid lyrics, which is why I like JS so much. He just "shuts up and plays his guitar" (Zappa).
Not excited about SH's "act" either. Too brash for my taste. I always liked Joe's seeming humility.
Their first album wasn't bad, lots of stupid lyrics, but musically pretty OK. Trouble was, after a few listens it was frankly quite boring. CF III didn't even make me want to listen to it again, with the exception of track 10, which is quite good, particularly Joe's parts.
Sorry, CF just doesn't have the staying power that Joe's solo work has. Maybe should have named it "2" (haha).

HEY JOE!!!! I have a very important question about the JS100 and the JS1200. Now I have a very nice JS100 that I was lightly considering about installing a Sustainiac pickup to. But I went on some forum and found a guy who said that when he installed the Sustainiac in to his JS100, he needed to slightly enlarge the guitar cavity to make it a little bigger to fit everything.
And you had a Sustaniac pickup in one of your JS1200 for the recording of Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards. So I was wondering......Did you have to get the guitar cavity customized for the extra equipment, or is JS1200 completely compatible with the pick up???
If anybody else knows please don't hesitate to answer.

I'd concur with a bit of that too, Sammy does my head in sometimes! and the lyrics... hmm
If J.S wasn't in it I wouldn't really be interested in it at all... Seems like Joe just has a few riffs and ideas that didn't make instrumental songs or the solo cd's sends em around and Sammy who writes some shizzle over it... Chad's awesome enough on the drums to fill in the beats and Mike keeps the low end straight enough!
Some bits have their moments but not the biggest fan of it... Come closer has an awesome solo though 8)

Hi Master Satriani ! I´m one of the biggest fan of yours, and I wanna know if you´re still giving lessons... How can I learn directly from you?
I´m a great fan of your music style, but here in Brazil is very difficulty to find a great teacher. Do I must pay to have your lessons? What can I do to have this honor? Thanks for your attention and cheers for all your band. And keep doing the great job even better, always, as you are ;).

Hi peeps....I loved the show last night. Makes me want to go to San Francisco for the road test show, hmmn? It is cool to see Joe having so much fun , the new album rocks! It is too bad for you if you don't like it. Why do people come here to bitch about it?
BTW...RTF was awesome , Stanley Clarke is a monster on that stand up bass! Chick jammed with Dweezil and everyone else in the band cep the drummer. Zappa's band came out for the last song [School Days] and had a big jam session. The lighting was dim but I took a few good pics , will share when I get them uploaded.
Peace Lily...have you every had the yellow Hermiston watermelon...OMG , just had my first taste...mmmm

Pip55 The jsx is a modern amp . i only played one a couple times it belonged to a friend . some guys love em think they are fantastic . they do have a good clean for sure .. the crunch was brittle to my ear .
Diezel's are a who different beast .. a friend of mine has a vh4 and a herbert .. these are monsters .. the cleans are so crisp and clear reminds me of a piano .. and the crunch can be as brutal as anything you have ever heard .. that said it can do blues if you take the time to dial it in ..
jemjvm it's good to see your up to your old tricks again so soon .
a leopard can not change his spots .. I had hoped you changed after your hiatus .. but you did not .

Cube _ Thx to share your knowledge.
I think it's harder to get good tone with Marshall than with Mesa. I'm currently working onto the VM (KT66 as you know). That's a long way bro.
Jemjvm _ If you don't like the debate, don't debate. Especially if you take personnal offense at questions about material, and not about you. Now, if you think that the JVM gets the Marshall dna, believe me or not, but you are wrong. That's as simple as that. That's not question of loving or not the JVM.

Zenfish I love the VM its the only new marshall that sounds good for what i am looking for in an amp .. but the new EVH 5150 iii 50 watt is a monster i might need one .. i got to try it in jan/11 at the launch with mr swinghard dialing it in for me .. that was a trip i was never so nervous in my life

Cube _ Yeap.. being face to face with the ultimate swing & heavycrunch player dialing in his own amp for you.. damn..
About 5150 amps, i remember that Joe said once here that he used one for the Crystal Planet album.. & lot of people consider this album as a master piece (even if joe says that he doesn't think that one of his album is a master piece)..
so..
I think we can consider that Marshall has done an historic mistake : to let EVH going with Peavey. It's done.

Well, I missed both of the webcasts because I was working :(.... HOWEVER, I got the CD yesterday! Liking it so far... With the first CF cd I listened to it once, then not again for a long time then took it out and was really blown away. This one I need to warm up to but so far liking it! Absolutly LOVE Come Closer. VERY heartfelt and powerful song. Everything about it. I would love to have the backingtrack to this song. Joe your playing in this just digs right into the soul! LOVE IT!

JemJVM a verbal bashing .. all you ever did was write nonsense on my facebook wall and cry.. then block me so i could not reply .. and yes i have seen the jvm and had a beer or 2 with santiago last jan/11 at namm so yeah i have .. and not just on a forum .
now as for bashing Fred .. saying because he is french .. c'mon .. that just shows your racist .. that is well what i expect from you .. you never give a kind word or encourage and since pip asked me a question .. and you put yourself in a conversation you were not part of ,, that makes you the same .. but hey good for you .. you must be happy
