I know it's supposed to be a rocki'n amp, more disrorted. And I did hear Traci Guns play those out of tune cowboy chords on the "Z" DVD...... I just did a demo and used a Marshall....not sure what model. It looks old, 100w, per-amp volume and master. Says JMP on the lower left. I've never been much of a Marshall guy. It got a real creamy smooth lead sound....like Eric Johnson ! I was loving it ! Does the Remedy fall into this description? I've never played one ....yet

If so, you were using a 1976 JMP MKII SL100. Very cool amp, but the Remedy blows it away tonally, and has a much broader EQ range as well.

I think the Remedy is meant to be more like the top marshall amp below except it is internally jumpered rather than externally. Closer shot below it (sorry but couldn't get it to post rotated version) This amp is from around 1970 and is a Super Lead.

yea...it looks like that. Square on/standby buttons....you can smell the tubes cooking ! Anyway, does the Remedy give the "smooth" Eric Johnson type sound? Or is it more of a modern type sound?? This thing was real warm, with lots of sag.....The demo I did it with is going up soon here on the "Z" forum, you'll see ! It cooks !

BTW - the other Marshall head in the pic was modded for me by the amp tech for AC/DC's Angus - the exact specs Angus has his done to.

I tried the Remedy today.....very cool amp. It wasn't the flavor of Marshall of the one I used.....It's more old school. And the sucker was loud !!!! I was impressed with the fact that DR Z can have so many different models, and they all have a certain "thing" that you only get from a "Z" amp.....So the original queation...does the Remedy sound like a Marshall? Well, it sounds more like a heavier "Z", with Marshall overtones. I'm gunna load the new demo tonight for the air-brake.....look for it in the vids in a day or two.....

The Remedy sounds especially good with a Les Paul - not that a Fender sounds bad with it

I've had a Marshall JTM 45 RI and a 50 watt RI. I have a Remedy and I find it more in the ballpark of the 50 watt. The JTM 45 has a tube rectifier and has more sag to it. The Remedy like the 50 watt has a tighter feel and more grind. It still can have a nice Marshall type clean when your guitar volume is rolled down.

The Remedy sounds especially good with a Les Paul - not that a Fender sounds bad with it For quite a while, I was addicted to the sound of the Remedy and my SG w/humbuckers and only played that combo. Such killer tones! But I've been having a "Telecaster week," just playing my new (to me) Texas Tele w/'Vintage Hot' pups, in an effort to really bond with it (I've played that SG all my life, my only guitar). I gotta say - the Tele sounds awesome! Smoking, fat and thick blues tones, slappin', spanky stuff. Wicked!

That's cool ! After 30 years of guitar playing, I just got my first tele too.....Fun fact, not to many people realize Joe Walsh's "Funk 49" was with a rosewood board tele......That's a tuff sound to beat !!!!

That's great, congrats on the Tele. There's a magic to 'em, for sure. I didn't know that about Funk 49 - that's always been one of my "reference tones" when thinking of great rhythm sound. And it was a Tele... I had no idea. Nice! How do you find going back and forth between Gibson/Fender scale lengths? It's taking some getting used to, for me. I like the Tele's feel but am more used to a Gibson. At this point, I don't prefer one or the other, but when I go back to my SG after the Tele, the SG feels like a mandolin neck... LOL! I guess it just takes time to quickly go from one to the other without any strangeness. (I read that Billy G had his Tele's neck made to match Pearl's neck exactly...)

I've played my Remedy head side by side against a JMP 50 watt lead that's a smokin good amp. I played them both thru the same Marshall 4x12 loaded with Creambacks; It's very hard to hear a difference. My son is playing a show in a couple of weeks. He's been practicing with a Fender Blues Jr.. I suggested to him that he needed a more substantial amp to use for the show, as he'll be playing with a drummer and another guitarist. His first request was to use a Marshall 100 watt JCM 800 reissue head. I suggested he take the Remedy, and his immediate response was.........."Wow, that's cool Dad. The Remedy sounds just like the plexi's" (we have a couple of JTM-45's). Now, it's important to understand that one Plexi does not necessarily sound like another. In fact, their tone varies a lot even when you compare examples of the very same model!! I will say that The Remedy hangs in the very same crowd as my JMP 50 watt, and the JTM-45's. And, IMO, that's saying something.

Interesting. I had almost the exact same question.
I have an 1980 JMP 2203 and I am seriously considering the Remedy as my next amp.
But first I have a question. Will the Remedy have the same tight/articulate and punchy low end that my JMP has? Assuming all other variables are constant of course.
I am aware that the increased headroom of the 2203 will affect the punctuality of my amp, but will the Remedy stay intact during the occasional palm mute in Drop D?
Most of my experience is with 100 watt amps, but I do have a Sovtek MIG-50 and Matchless Spitfire clone. I know that these amps have a "mushier" low end, but I am not certain if this is a product of their wattage or tone stack.
Like I implied before, I don't always palm mute an open D, but when I do I want it to stay articulate and punchy.
I'm sure that I could use a treble booster to keep the low-end intact if necessary, but I personally don't like to run an "always on" pedal if I don't have to.
Thanks

Haven't thought about dissecting that sound but now that you mention it.......exactly. bet he rolled back on the tone a bit.

I've never heard that he used a Tele for any of it. Are you sure?

I always thought he was playing a Burst as well. And, most every reference you'd find says so. One of my buds who's a Clapton nut told me that he was using a Tele thru a "Bluesbreaker". After re checking, I can't find any written references to Eric playing a Tele on the Beano LP......I'm gonna ask my friend and see where he got that from.

He might have just been thinking about Pagey playing that Tele that Jeff Beck gave him on the early Zep recordings, and got it mixed up in his mind with the Beano record. A lot of folks who came to Zep later on assumed that all the recordings were made with a LP through a Marshall, so they were surprised to learn about the Tele & Supro revelation.

Clapton played a tele in the Yardbirds, and when he first joined Mayall, for a very brief while (there are live pics showing him with it). But he switched very soon, and "Beano" is most definitely all Lester.

I knew he played a Tele with The Yardbirds, and so when my friend said that he played a Tele on Beano, I thought that interesting. As you guys have said, I always had heard he played a Burst on Beano. I still wonder if there is some Tele on the Beano album?? Maybe not.
Here's the only video I've ever seen with Clapton playing a Tele. It's from 1963, with The Yardbirds;
