has Joe left the planet? havent heard from him since waiting at the airport from some where, during last tour, maybe he's still at the airport... lol , sorry joe, just that its almost 3am aussie time I got so much crap running thru my head at the moment.. I need a girl friend, more money, a job would be nice got a mazda 2 neo hatch (nicknamed the Roadrunner , from the cartoons) the way mazda did the stereo is cruel, i cant do any thing to it, im typing with out my glasses, and cant beat a race in midnight club 3 on the ps2, ps ive pre orded my psp which were getting down under in a couple weeks. man i wish thed make indistructable strings so they dont break during a solo or recording, was with a friend today listening to my old bands cd our bass player died from luekemia (spellchecker and glasses needed here) any way it was interesting to listen back to old stuff, and memories, man 4 years has gone quick, man ive had too much to drink tonite

Another Satch / JSX amp question...

Does anyone know if Joe uses or has ever used a power attenuator for his JSX heads? (ie: Power Brake, Hot Plate, etc)

Thanks!

Delfino, nicely done bro, nicely done. A and two C's is a nice bundle of points, and all that matters is that you've got what you needed to get on the course you want to do! Speaking of which, did you make a decision yet?

I personally think you should make the transfer to film work, cause CGI is what you really want to do, more than game-design, right?

I've just been helpfully informed by amazon that I can now preorder my X-Box 360 for 210 pounds! bastards.....I know I shouldn't, but I can't resist!

Hey OCPS470, thanks for the reply.

Do you know for a fact Joe doesn't have an attenuator? Are the gear "reports" here that accurate? His "real" amps are off-stage and I can see where this device might be overlooked if someone asked him what "pedals" or effects he uses...

BTW, Cranking the master up to 10 and then lowering the channel volume knobs will not create the same effect because you still aren't driving the power output tubes to maximum effect (true power tube overdrive). Don't get me wrong, everyone raves about the low-volume tone, and I'm sure it rocks, but this is tone created from the pre-amp tube stage. Still can be good, but is a different overdrive.

Have you tried the Hot Plate out with your JSX? Compared it to your current settings? I'm going to be picking up a JSX head very soon and was thinking of getting a Hot Plate to play with true power tube overdrive.

Thanks again!

hi all you peoples how is you all? okay I am sorry so long be busy

JPgtr: huh....I was under the impression that the master volume knob controlled the leval of the power amp (ie the power tubes) but maybe I'm wrong. The thing is, using an attenuater (to my knowledge) won't drive the amp anyharder into power tube compression if you're running the master all the way up. It would allow you to say, run the master up and run the channel volume (preamp gain) loud too (so loud that you would need the attenuator to avoid making yourself sterile) haah! As far the hotplate goes, it is very very transparent. For the best results, however, you need to get the hotplate that matched the ohm rating of the cab you will be using. For example, the hotplate I own is 8ohms. I'm playing the JSX through a 16ohm legacy cab. When using the JSX through the Hotplate, I have to set the JSX at 8ohms to safely use the 8 ohm hotplate. This still sounds very good, but the EQ controls on the amp and hotplate have less effectivness. If I owned a 16ohm hotplate there would be zereo difference between the attenuated and unattenuated (cranked without hotplate) tone. I only own the 8ohm hotplate, because I bought it to use with my fender amp that has an 8ohm speaker in the cab. ANyway, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the amp. I've tested just about everything on it, including things most people don't bother with. I've also picked up some tips from the tech guys at Peavey. If you get a chance, check out www.chrispeters.net and check out the music. Thanks

Hello!

I first wrote to the host and the master Joe, so can I now communicate to my fellows ("rčgles de l'hospitalité obligent").

I have recorded 10 instrumental songs on :

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/badaboumboumboum

It was recorded with a free software and a cheap microphone. But my relatives find that the result is not so bad...

It must be listen in stereo.

I hope you will listen and enjoy... Please give me your advice in my email box.

PhryDom...Joe has nothing to do with the the cost of the copy of the show...it's NBC's duplicator's cost's....they'll stream it to you on the internet for about $235.00. castle49 stated she thought it would be 5 minutes of a clip of "The Sonoma Concert"...from what NBC said it should only be a portion of the show.

btw...Joe did just give use 2 hours of free concert in Anaheim...which was awesome.
