Christchurch Gearfest - May 17th - Return from exile edition!

So this is just a week Away now! trying to figure out what to bring.
I’ll definitely bring my new 6G6B bassman clone and the red SG.
The Tele sounds particularly good through the bassman so might bring that too. Anyone want to hear the jubilee?
I might bring one head and thinking the Jubilee, unless someone wants to hear something else?

Next time around it'd be interesting to compare your original Jubilee with my reissue.

Mines a reissue too

I like it with my attenuator more than the MV, it sounds better with one of the masters up over the other but can’t remember which off the top of my head.
A bit underwhelming at low volumes without an attenuator though, it opens up significantly and the bass really comes to life with a proper attenuator or just up loud.
It sounds a bit “preamp” not “poweramp” drive at low volumes.
Joe Bonamassas settings are a good place to start.

I won't be there but if Reg or Jeremy want to come and grab my LP to take you're welcome to do so

I’ll have a full load between guitar and camera gear, I’d love to try your LP though.

You got me thinking about my favourite settings and I can confirm I prefer to have the "Output" Master up full and use the "Lead" Master lower,
And it sounds even bigger if you use an attenuator on top of that and turn it up a bit more on all masters.
Here's a quick demo of "Output"master up and attenuator both on.

Everything arrived today and visually it all looks good. I get the pleasure of spending most of tomorrow trying everything out to see if it works. 12 hours of ear splitting Smoke on the water, the neighbours are going to love it.

You must need a full time guitar tech to keep up with string changes and maintenance?
