Looks interesting ...Rig Rundown: Def Leppard | Premier Guitar
That was a great rundown episode.
I would love to see some of the pro's patches show up on the exchange.
Phil plays 13's?...:shock
+1
13's, are you kidding :lol... Have you watched Phill play ? that man pummels the strings.
...and that may be the reason Phil's still using his JMP-1s alongside the Axe .I notice they are using the OD-1 channel too which is the one that sounds better to my ears (more vintage, less 'metal' I guess). In the Axe we just have the OD-2 channel which is a pity, having said that I've not had the urge to plug into my JMP-1 since I got my XL
I did put in a request for the OD-1 in the Axe a while back though, vote for it if you'd like it too! http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-f...arshal-jmp1-preamp-od1-model.html#post1067051
From what I gathered from watching recent live footage, they have tuned down significantly.

just kidding . not sure why he hasn't gone full Axe yet, especially with the switching times of the JMP-1...
My two most loved pieces of gear ever... AxeFX and JMP-1. BTW, the JMP-1 model in the AxeFX (called the Brit Pre) is dead on to the real thing so I haven't used my physical JMP-1 in a long, long time.
oh yes, I remember those ! together they turned into a real switch-time-nightmare. I tried to use a JMP-1 briefly on tour back in the day, impossible to do fast switching without having huge gaps. had to go back using heads. of course, just like Phil I could have gotten two...Re switching, for me it was the JFX (delay/chorus/reverb unit Marshal sold to compliment the JMP-1) where I really felt the switch lag when playing live. I got used to switching a beat or two before I needed to hit the new sound though
From what I gathered from watching recent live footage, they have tuned down significantly. I didn't pick up a guitar to double check, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least, if they have gone down 2 whole steps to a C tuning. 13's would be necessary to maintain the feel of 9's or 10's at that tuning or anything down low like that.
I run 11-54's in standard tuning on Les Paul and Strat scale necks.
I have a guitar tuned to Drop B, so the whole guitar is down to C#, and the low E another whole step down to B, and on that instrument, I'm running, I think 11-56 and they feel too light to me. Lighter than 10's at standard tuning. As a point of illustration, that is an Ibanez Sabre, and it was set up with 10-46's on it. When I loaded the 11-56's and dropped it down to Drop B tuning, I had to turn the spring claw screws about a 1/4 turn to keep the floating bridge in a neutral position. So, once again, the heavier gauge dropped way way down, is very similar to 10's in standard.
My guess is that a set of 13's at low C or low B tuning would result in standard string tension, that you or I would expect with a set of 10's in standard tuning.
Man, what happened to the chick? I liked her RRs more. Not only was she a lot nicer to look at (which helped along some of the slower parts), I have to admit - there's something about a hot chick asking "What is the thickness of guitar picks does __ use?" and other super-guitar-nerdy questions that turns me on.
