Dood Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm just intrigued to hear if anyone has done - I'm expecting there to be a low end roll off, but that's not gonna be a problem as I can just mix all the bottom in in my rig - Yup, i thought it might be an interesting addition to my rig, given the MIDI implementation. Thing is - now that they are getting rare, the prices are crawling up! Anyway, would be interested to hear what you guys have tried. Speak to ya later! Dood.

synaesthesia Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I had one for a long time, since they came out till about 2005. I used it in my guitar rack which also had a triaxis. Tried both on bass, passable sounds but low end roll off on JMP 1 and not to me, a useable sound unless for specific effect. The triaxis was better for clean bass but not as good as a dedicated bass preamp either. Eventually I sold both and started to use fender showman based bass preamps for guitar: they were cleaner, quieter, had tons of headroom, and did the fender thing. I now us a READ purity for guitar. I still use midi via midi controllable mixers, and I get my distortion sounds off a custom made 1U rack unit by OM labs. The JMP 1 was okay for clean guitar sounds but was good-ish for mostly distorted sounds. The Traixis was much better for clean tones, had a wider pallette of distortion tones but could not do the marshall distortion thing like the JMP 1. I am looking for a used JMP 1 for some distortion type sounds for recording and the prices have been 150 - 200, have been that way for a few years.
