Tyler Amps JT46

New to me Tyler JT46 - expect a ton of sounds from this guy in the future.

New Amp Day! I traded my Ceriatone JM50 away – was looking for something with a bit more of the ‘pushed’ sound. The Ceriatone was an amazing amp and I’m already looking and picking up another amp from them (Hiwatt anyone?) but the JM was really a bit more dry than I was looking for. This Tyler came up as a trade offer and seemed like a fun change!

It’s a 50 watt JTM style Marshall clone with a few extra features – both channels are linked internally so no 4 input jumper is required. It also features a master volume and an fx loop. Both of which come in really handy for dialing in different tones.

I haven’t had an amp that takes dirt pedals this well in a long time and it’s really great to be able to swap in and out a few pedals and drastically change the sound without any real unpleasant results.

Gear Used:
– PRS Swamp Ash Special w/Narrowfields
– Meris Hedra (delays)
– OBNE Rever (Reverb)
– Tyler Amps JT46
– Universal Audio OX Amp Top Box
– Garageband

I’ve been playing around with the #line6helix for the last few weeks, maybe a month? Time is meaningless right now. Anyways, this thing has completely opened up my drive to produce music and push further on the production sides of said music. This 1 min clip will be released in some form as a full length @figurativeghosts track sometime in the near future but I wanted to post it in progress and talk a bit about the Helix.  There’s this weird mindset that I’m pretty guilty of perpetuating, to be honest, that modeling setups are somehow inferior to their wholesome real analog counterparts. I own the Helix as well as tube amps and a Universal Audio OX Box and while the OX is an amazing piece of gear, I never managed to produce anything that sounds this good with it. This is probably the fault of my own engineering skills, but thats the whole point. The Helix with some minor tweaks (I’m running the @getgooddrums Zilla cab IRs in this) delivers tones that are on-par, if not better than anything I ever got out of the OX within weeks. I used the OX every day for a year and didn’t see these types of results. Am I to blame for that? Probably.  Does this mean that one is better than the other? Of course not - they are both amazing pieces of gear made by amazing companies who are doing groundbreaking work - but they definitely provide alternate paths to the same end goal of producing amazing sounding guitar without requiring a full studio. Both are “fake” in some way but with the end result does it really matter? If I didn’t write this post would you even know that the guitars aren’t tracked via a tube amp?

I haven’t posted in a while. I promise I’m still alive. I also purchased these beautiful headphones and a copy of Sonarworks Reference 4. Excited about new mixes coming together. Helix combined with being able to actually hear properly has lifted a blanket off everything I’ve been working on. Excited to share!
