***they're in the very middle

JP, why you selling?
Thought you loved the JLM gear..
Come to think of it quite a few TR's have offloaded JLM gear recently!!

Is it wrong/sexist to say "nice rack"????

Hi jeep,
Would you consider swapping one of the modules for a valve comp?

I'm selling mine because I'm looking for a different sound. I have had around 8 guuitar amps in the past including Fender twin reverb and 2 JCM 800's.

Nothing wrong with them just a change thats all.

Infact if thet wern't 500 series id be interested in trading or buying myself the TG.

I just bought 2 new 512's mysef - some nice 500 EQ's next and the old lunchbox will be full.

i do love the JLM gear, but like everyone else i wanna try new things..

how are the 512's going Tim?
i'm pretty keen to try out a pair, as well as some 550a EQs

not at all.
however it would only be right of me to inform you that this photo was taken when i borrowed some gear off our beloved nic a couple of months ago :)

Hey JP - where did you get that rack from? you been hiding it from everyone at BJB?
Busted!

Hey JP
If you want you can borrow my API 3124 to compare with what you have. The 512 is exactly the same as the pres in the 3124.

Hey Jeep,

How do you like the Action? I've been pondering a tracking compressor and am having a hard time deciding between the action, 1176 & distressor.

the action goes alright! similar to an 1176 except not as flexible.
i actually sold it in order to buy a distressor a month or 2 ago..

if you can afford it, i'd go either the 1176 or the distressor.
if money is an issue, you'll be happy with the action

The Actions are nice compressors - sure, they arent an 1176, but they are similar..
If you want a relatively nice compressor for a reasonable price, then the Action will suffice Nath.
I have 2 in my lunchbox ;-)

Agree.

If you have the cash for an 1176 (or MC77) or a Distressor, go for those.

PM Aearth why he sold his actions.

Nic changes gear like he changes his undies! I wouldn't not purchase something 'cos Nic sold his.... he's always trying stuff out.

HA_DA_JA wrote:PM Aearth why he sold his actions.

Because he wanted an MC77 - he loves it..
But I'm sure thats not the only reason too..
He likes to try all sorts of gear..

sooolllldddddddddddddd

Hi guys
The Action is a bit of a one trick pony, very aggressive, good for drums. The MC77 (1176) is very versatile, good on anything.

I gotta agree here too..
I tracked some acoustic gtr a few weeks back using the action and it was quite assertive in the tracking..
If you are finding the Action too aggressive, cut back on the input a bit - should help..
However, there are some tricks I just found for ity posted on GS yesterday..
Will try and link or post up..

If you're looking for "transparent" compression in 500 format you should consider the Shadow Hills Mono Opto 500. I picked one up recently..... looooove it.

Sweet... please do, Tim. I just grabbed one for a decent price.

Cut & Pasted from GS -

If the bypass (top) toggle is in the "in" position;

"Link" compressor is on and 2 units are linked (if you have the Purple Sweet Ten rack)
"on" compressor circuit is engaged.
"off" no compression, GR meters no longer work but the in and out knobs allow you to drive the input and output for tone, without comprressing.
In and Out meters still work.

Check out the "off" trick. It's got some really sweet xformer color/distortion.

Stereo Linking
"Stereo linking is accomplished by cross connecting pins 3 & 6 on the edge connector. On the Purple Sweet Ten, there is a second output XLR that can be used to link two Actions. The link is accomplished using a XLR-F to XLR-F cable with pin 2 on one XLR-F connecting to pin 3 on the other XLR-F and vice versa. Plug in the cable, flip the front panel switch and you are linked. Non-Purple racks do not have an easy way to connect pins 3 and 6, and will need modification to link two Action units."
