Top Jimi: Paul Gilbert's '74 Lee Jackson Marshall (V2)

Jimi71 · January 19, 2016 at 4:09 AM

One of our most popular profile packs has been updated with better microphone techniques and merged profiles for firmware 3.X!

This is a killer amp from my personal collection, with a fascinating back story:

The story behind this amp is quite interesting. Paul Gilbert owned this amp while attending GIT and had it modified in 1985 by Lee Jackson. Paul used the amp to record the first two Racer X albums, Street Lethal and Second Heat. According to Paul, the amp was stolen out of a friend's car and disappeared. I took a chance and purchased the amp off eBay, not knowing for sure what it was. I contacted Paul and all indications are that this is the amp. It sounds killer—the perfect 80's hair metal amp!

Trying to be a good citizen, I did ask Paul if he wanted the amp back, but fortunately (for me) he did not.

Modifications include: An added tube for additional preamp gain, an added tube for a tube effects loop, an added master volume, a line out, and a conversion to KT-88 output tubes.

Some folks have been wondering if we're doing a free upgrade if you bought the Version 1 profile pack. We think the Version 1 profiles were a good value, and creating the Version 2 profiles was a ton of work. For these reasons we're not doing a free profile pack upgrade unless you purchased the Version 1 pack within the past month.

Thank you for your understanding,
Jimi

Jimi, I believe I paid for these profile an hour or so ago, I'm sure it said the transaction was complete (via paypal). Checked my PayPal and there is no record of me completing the transaction and I have received no emails from PayPal or an email from you with the links to the profiles.

Could you check for me whether the payment has went through, if not something must have went wrong and I'll just order again.

I PMd Jimi a while ago about another thing. No answer there but he did promptly respond to an email to jim @ topjimi.com (as listed on his website). Just a thought...

Thank you, but it's not so important for me. As long I do not loose money

Ordered. I am always on the lookout for a good modded Marshall tone that isn't too fizzy, generic, or overly compressed.

Hi Liam,

We didn't receive an order from you, so something must have gone wrong. If you don't mind, please try again.

Thanks,
Jimi

LiamThompson · January 19, 2016 at 4:23 PM

Yes I've made purchases since and they appeared instantly on my Pay Pal, will order again.

EDIT PS: Worked no problem, I don't think I finalized the payment last time.

Jimi71 · January 19, 2016 at 4:30 PM

OK, I finally updated my notification settings, so I'll receive notice as soon as a PM arrives!

Tritium · January 19, 2016 at 6:53 PM

Sounds like I need to add to my collection of Top Jimi profiles. A good problem to have.

GregR · January 21, 2016 at 7:08 PM

I actually purchased the version one profiles less than a month ago. They sound awesome, but these sound even better! Just sent you an email as well.

Jimi71 · January 21, 2016 at 7:46 PM

GregR,

V2 profiles sent via email!

I need to record a quick demo for y'all.

mightypudge · January 21, 2016 at 8:47 PM

And GO! Sorry for the clams, I have an injured left ring finger. Ouch!

Sounds great! Which profile(s) did you end up using?

mightypudge · January 21, 2016 at 8:54 PM

Yeah, sounds real great. These profiles are fun to play.

Rhythms were TJ-LJ Marsh Med, double tracked and hard panned left and right. Left side was the neck pickup and right side was the bridge. Solo was done with TJ-LJ Marsh Max-2 and I turned the delay on.

mdeeRocks · January 27, 2016 at 11:03 PM

pikman · January 28, 2016 at 3:13 AM
