jm vs custom reverb sig how different?

Post by rowdyone »

I bought a custom reverb sig and traced the guts , got all the values and got tons of pics. Wanna build my own. How much of a difference is the john mayer sig vs the custom reverb sig.

Can you be more specific?

Have you played both amps and if so what did you like or dislike about each one?

I played the custom reverb sig was very clean then the gain stages added dirt. It didn't seem to sound like some of the videos of the dumble overdrives. Never played the mayer amp. I know john plays his amps clean then boosts the crap outta them with pedals.

I just wonder what both cleans sound like on the amp. The mayer don't have the gain stages.

There's about 150 pics and I have detailed everything. I'll try and post them all hoping someone will make a scheme and layout.

Wow. Looks like that girl I went to junior prom with. All sweet and cute on the surface. You undress her and you're very impressed with how clean and innocent she appears... Then you lift up the skirt :shock:

Will the mayer get the ods sound or is a pure clean amp.
I like the ods sounds that most players are getting. My be two rocks not the way to go.I don't need a 100 watt version which I have the iron for I would rather have a 20 watt version. Bedroom levels and maybe with a airbrake attached. What do u suggest?
