When you think classic 80's metal tones, you think of the JCM800, right? Well, the TC electronic JIMS800 looks to nail that tone, but how does it stack up to such an iconic sound? We take the Jims 800 through it's paces on todays demo and answer all the questions you might have before buying one. Big thanks to TC for sending this one through for us to demo and I hope you enjoy the video.

Let us know what you think about the jims800 and if we nailed those 80s metal tones

As per most preamp pedals direct through phones, you'll need to push the master volume a bit more but yeah it sounds great. Thanks for your earlier comment 👍

@jcwoodstl 5 ай бұрын

The cab sim on this is excellent. It models G12-65’s which are what my old JCM800 4x12 is loaded with so it is period correct. This pedal is truly the stand-out model of the series and doesn’t get enough love. I think I’m going to buy one even though I don’t have a need for one just because I’m an 800 fanboy and this really nails it.

@PBOD 5 ай бұрын

It really is, they've done some great work with this line and this one in particular. I mean, you'd not be the first guitarist to buy something they don't necessarily need just because they want it. That's kind of our thing 😂😂

Thanks for posting this comment. I use a Marshall JCM2000 DSL50&2x12 or DSL40CR for gigging. I don't want to bring the amps to my rehearsal space. My band rehearses silently with IEMs with a Behringer XR18 digital mixer. I bought a Marshall DSL1 amp but it still doesn't sound great straight into the mixer. I'm hoping this Jims800 dual channel pedal setup will allow me to run Guitar > Tube Screamer >Jims 800 -DI out>Delay>mixer and get a great IEM sound

@JeremyLeech 7 ай бұрын

@@rustycowbell I use the same mixer! I use a 2x12 Marshall combo live. But I use an Aiken goldbrick DI for our in ears. Emulating a 4x12 greenback Marshall cab with an sm57. Best DI I’ve used for iems so far. Some reverb helps a lot too

@DanielFPaulo 4 ай бұрын

Awesome! Thanks for the video. I was wondering about the headphones as well, thanks for mentioning. I wish they came with an AUX In though =( doesn't make sense to not have one. Do you have any idea how one can play through the headphones with a back track using this? Probably using an audio interface ... more $$$ to burn ...

@PBOD 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I imagine that's the only way. As you say, no aux in and only one input doesn't really give scope for that functionality

@EasyHeat 5 ай бұрын

Great intro jam!🤟 My only gripe with digital preamps is you can’t run them in parallel live due to DSP-RTL. Which is a shame because I would love to recreate the Dave’s Hydra split Color and the Shape Mesa/AC30 90’s tones. My only option for attempting it currently is with a dual rig within BiasFX and running it out through my Orange OMEC Teleport.😅 On it’s own tho? I think it sounds fantastic, and backing of the gain seems to reach that Marshall Super Bass territory. Also for literally half the price of the U/A Lion?!! What’s honestly not to love? Now, while I think Tore is a super guy from when I’ve chatted with him, and was ultimately fantastic for TC in the past? It is good to see TC bouncing back after his departure to U/A with some killer products. Great demo my dude! Cheers!

@PBOD 5 ай бұрын

Absolutely, TC had a few shaky years after Tore but they're really coming back with this range and from what I've seen of the plethora range too. Thanks for the comment, it's made my day that has 👍

@JD-vj4go 8 ай бұрын

I thought it sounded really good. If I didn't already have a couple jcm 800 sims I'd look into this. I've been really liking Audio Assault Emperor with an urgitone bay area thrash IR for the heavier 80s stuff.

@PBOD 8 ай бұрын

Funny you should mention ugritone actually. I used two different drum packs to nail the drum tones for this one. I love their stuff! I've not delved too much into their ir packs though, do you recommend them?

@JD-vj4go 8 ай бұрын

@@PBOD Their IR loader and packs work really well together I use them a lot. I recommend their IRs but they are really setup to get a certain sound. There's a thrash metal pack, a NWOBHM pack, etc. If you want the sound they are setup for they can really help get there. I could see someone with more experience and skill than me wanting something a bit more raw/general.

No efx return? Can you route cab sim to efx then mixer?

@PBOD Ай бұрын

There is no FX loop. You have an input, and 2 outputs (dry or cab emulated). You could run the dry out into FX then into an external cab sim or run FX after the cab sim. Does that answer your question?

@GunnarLoeb 7 ай бұрын

Which one to get? Jim's 45 or the 800?

@PBOD 7 ай бұрын

Depends what you're after. The 45 is lower gain and sightly more mid focused, the 800 had more gain on tap and has a more toppy sound. We have demos on both you can use to decide 👍

@@PBOD yes thanks but I still cannot choose. which one is your personal favourite?

@JohnsonInc999 4 ай бұрын

Dude, do a demo without all the reverb and delay. Listen to your Slayer "like" clip. The whole thing is ridiculously drowned in so many effects no one can tell what it or the drums sounds like.

@PBOD 4 ай бұрын

Hi, the reverb used was a 80s digital studio reverb similar to that found on the Slayer record itself - no delay was used at all throughout the demo. I think the issue you may be describing was that the guitar was placed higher in the mix than you might usually, but that was to showcase the pedal, as it is a pedal demo. There are a fair few clips in the video where the pedal is used without any backing track so you can hear it better. I'd urge you to check out the official TC product releases if you'd like to hear more 👍

@JohnsonInc999 4 ай бұрын

I hear you, but WAY too much reverb. Those full mixes are the most important component of your presentation for me. To hear what it sounds like IN the mix@@PBOD vs just solo'd Thanks !

Aye, it's just on the edge for me. There is enough dynamic range to make it useful but also enough gain on tap for when I don't want no stinking dynamic range 🤣🤣🤣
