Jule Amp M700

I love Jule's work... really happy to see this.

 

It looks bigger than I thought it was; which is fine.
It's still not big.
From your descriptions, I presume I'd like the 700 better; and I think a clean, more open power amp is probably a great fit for the tube preamp; letting it's characteristics pass right on thru.

Cool stuff. Exciting.
This, and the wrecking ball deal. Cool cool cool.

 

Looks like the fan operates in the same way as Minnie?

 

It is my understanding that Jule and James designed the Minnie 800D with some intentional high frequency roll-off, to further that "vintage vibe." I presume that the M700 does not roll off the highs?

 

Cool cat. Burmese?

 

My boy nostatic, once again, is making me think financially irresponsible thoughts. He is a very bad man.

 

Should be getting my M700 tomorrow !!! See what you started chadds !!! I had to say that because as far as i remember chads was the first TBer that had a Monique that was about 3 years ago and he was my go to guy to find out everything about Monique when i got mine about 2 1/2 years ago.

 

My first impressions follow along the same lines. The sound seems more "open" or "flatter" in both directions. "Faster" is also a great way to describe her. Kinda reminds me of a Stewart amp with how fast and defined it is, especially down low. I thought the notes were jumping outta my fingers when I was playing the Minnie, but after an A/B test there is a hugely noticeable difference. Nuances are being more clearly reproduced through the M700. The Minnie defiantly seems to be rolling off both lows and highs, making it seem a little darker. I have also noticed a large difference in the way my pedals sound. I recently picked up a new Nimbus with the new bass and high control. With the Minnie I felt like the difference was nominal when I tweeked the high setting. The M700 makes the control super usable now. I was able to get some really "shimmery" tones.

I was not crazy about the form factor, or the front input. After 2 hours with it I could not care less. It could smell and look like a turd on my amp as long as it sounds like it does.

Lastly.....Noise. I did a dry test A/Bing the two amps. Basically o just plugged everything in and turned everything all the way up. No signal, just the bass plugged in like in between songs. The Minnie was noticeably noisier. I know that the fans are simular or the same but I feel like the Minnie's fan is also noticeably louder. All in all I feel like the M700 is just way less noisy. The M700 also seems more powerful. Maybe that is just the flat response making it feel so much bigger, but I feel like this thing is going to melt my face off.

I did notice that with Monique all the way up I was not able to get the M700 to even flash the yellow indicator on the front. I was playing a passive Smith so I will have to try the active Dingwall later.....

 

Well it looks like the Fedex driver took a super long nap over the road in Kansas! So what was supposed to be delivered today is now Friday!!

 

Hi Tom,

From the test results in your magazine, I don't recall there being any indication of the frequency response being rolled off at either end of the spectrum, or did I miss something?

 

I hate what that happens!

 

Does anyone know what the amp outputs into 8 ohms?

Hey! I resemble that remark!

 

Nay. No roll-off for the M700. Not on the bottom or on the top.

As the Monique community has grown, I have learned a lot. I now understand that players are greatly more capable than I will ever be at managing their sound, including both the very bottom and the upper end. I see my job increasingly as providing a wide and accurate representation of everything that comes off the fingers.

 

Loud is good.

 

It is about 400 watts.
