Chris vs. Guitar Center - Part Deux! (a micro picstory)

ACT 1

I had this in my car today.



However, it didn't work out.

So I rectified the solution of "I need something that sounds good, fits in my car and will make it to the recording studio on Saturday".

ACT 2: The Rectfication



Kiss my ass, Johnson.

is the difference mainly in the speakers?

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways,
we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
We'll cross the streams.

Nice! Now you don't have to plug into my roommate's Line6 Spyder II if you want to jam, and you KNOW you'll have a tone you like in the studio.

Those Mesa 2x12's are absolutely brutal, aren't they? Did they give you a straight trade? They fuckin' should have, for all the trouble they put you through.

Well, the JM150 has V30's in it, and (I believe) this does as well.

The reason I wanted the JM150 was because my main rig is a 2101 and a Mesa 4x12. However, I wanted something small that I could bring around for jamming, as well as something that would fit in my car, but at the same time be close to "my" tone. Since the JM150 is the S-Disc (same as the 2101, albeit closer to the 2112), it made sense that I could at least get close to "my tone" in a combo amp, without lugging around this monstrosity:



I always wanted to separate the essential stuff in the rack (amp, preamp, tuner), but if I could get away with it in a combo, I figured why bother?

Since the combo, ehm, didn't really work out (heh), this is just the next best thing, and IMO I'm glad it worked out the way it did, because now I can take MY tone to the studio (after a little fiddling to adjust the 2101 to the new mono cab, etc).

Plus I can get another 2x12 and have a portable stereo rig, or run the two 2x12's left channel and my recto 4x12 on the right channel and maintain a big ol' stereo sound.
