Firstly i always mic up,so this is taking that into account.
The Band is 3 piece with fairly loud(deaf) Bass Player & a drummer,not a shed builder,but still fairly loud,the stage volume of the JRT was easily enough,with volume & gain at about 1o'clock,tone controls all about 12,so no problem with volume,with the proviso that this is a very easy dump,for the Guitar to be loud enough at.
Next & for me the surprising bit,the Band plays mostly R&B(the original flavour),Chuck Berry,(you can't beat a good Chuck
) Dr.Feelgood,Stones,Kinks & the highest gain stuff is ZZtop(mostly early),so not exactly Jim Root territory,the Amp did it brilliantly,Guitar volume rolled back,great rhythm sound, & if i switched in the Mxr Micro Amp(recommended on this forum)a really good lead sound,without touching the Guitar Vol knob,then with just upping the Guitar volume a very fair ZZTop sound,except for the playing ability.All of the above useing my Gordy(PG's) & with my Squire CVC(Dimarzio 384 I think that's the right number?))i hardly had to alter any of the Amps setting,worked great,the 1st time i've been happy with the pick up.
I was really surprised it worked so well & to anyone thinking METAL AMP,definitely not.
I'll just add(if anyone's still reading
)that the JRT wiped the floor with my R30C(i'm now even more convinced there's something wrong with the Rocker) & also a lot better than the DT i had briefly.All of this is as usual JMO,but i thought someone may be interested.
