Marshall JMP 2203 (1978) cranked Video (+Orange content)

[Belford]

Allright here's a 1978 Marshall JMP 2203 cranked, goes into an Orange 4x12". I traded the Matamp GTOL to this one a while ago. I'm making a demo video of it, these are hit & run (first) takes from last weekend.
I got frustrated with all the horrible phone recordings and wanted to try if I could do better. I've never miced an amp before so any comments are welcome..

Settings:
1st: Master 10/10, everything else at noon (5/10).
2nd: Master 8/10, preamp (gain) 8/10, everything else at noon. Ibanez is quite a squealer..

The V30 was mic'd with Shure SM57 - its position is "random".
I used Behringer Tube Ultragain MIC100 as a preamp. It compresses pretty much everything..
The first clip also has ~50% room sound that was captured with ZOOM H4N recorder.

I couldn't include the clean parts yet, gotta learn how to edit videos first...
Any comments are welcome.. I could maybe record the Orange AD140 as well.

Cool tone...

pick up your room before you shoot the next video clip

I dig . The other guitarist in my band would cream over your guitars !

Surprised at how low gain that amp is. Sounds nice!

I would invest in a bin for your practice room. No need to splash on a NOS, even a modern production will improve, if not your tone, at least the room.
