Mesa Artist Dustie Waring from Between the Buried and Me got a chance to check out one of the first production model JP-2C heads while on a tour date in San Francisco, March 21st, 2016.
We wanted to go over Ch. 2 & 3 for both Crunch & Solo sounds and make some comparisons between the channels as well as some comparisons with the EQ on & off and the slightly higher gain in Ch. 3 versus Ch. 2. We also demonstrated the “Shred” feature to show how useful it can be to add cut and edge for solos or to tighten up the low end for extended range guitars.
Recorded with Dustie’s Signature PRS 24 with Signature Seymour Duncan pickups and the JP-2C head into a 2x12 Rectifier Compact with Celestion Vintage 30s and Jim Dunlop Carbon Copy Bright in the FX Loop. Recorded with a Shure KSM 313 and the CabClone set to Open Back. Blended 45% KSM, 45% CabClone and 10% room mic.
Our thanks to Dustie for taking the time on a show day to shred some riffs!
