  • Jackson Preamp...

    I've seen them on Ebay, and I think Criagslist. I want to pick one up next time I see one, but I don't know if there anygood. Can I get some feedback on these. P.S. I use a ADA MP-1.

    If u mean the JX-3 stereo preamp, yeah, I had one for a while. It was a very mediocre sounding unit. It had 1 or 2 tubes in it. I played it thru a Mesa 50/50 poweramp and it didn't impress it me so I moved it.

      I had one I sold to Hippie tim a few years back, I noticed he sold it in the classifieds, not long after, it does one eighties metal tone, and I agree, very mediocre.

        Well I have one and use it in my rack.
        Plenty of OD and gain it does 80's metal to the "T".
        Treble,Mid,Bass, Presence and level controls and a clean.
        L.R.master control,bright in/out.2 gain settings.
        I run two 4X12 cabs in stereo and it sounds great.
        Using an ADA power amp and Intellifex.It does pretty good over all.
        Now if I use a tube head for power either my Carvin 100 watt or Ampeg Lee Jackson 100 watt it really opens up and sings.
        Lots of good sizzle.
        I did install some old Mullard 12AX-7's so maybe that hepled some.
        If you can get it fairly cheap go for it you can always use it for trading fodder.
        Really? well screw Mark Twain.
