Had to get my tonsils out. I've been battling them for a long time thinking it was just from singing too hard... I was throwing off tonsil stones. Had them hacked out yesterday. Feeling pretty good considering.

That sucks. Tonsils coming out as an adult can be nasty. So to be feeling sorta ok is huge. Haven’t had mine since I was about 7….. and I don’t remember much about it, other than mom telling me I was miserable for a couple days and got to eat lots of ice cream.

Yes, all the doctors and nurses told me it was going to be a 10 days of hell. I am feeling pretty good here on day 2! Considering myself very lucky.
I mean..it still sucks,, but it's not nearly as bad as I was preparing for.

I may have spoken too soon, I was up at 3:45 in absolute misery..... Quickly made some throat coat tea and took a few Ibuprofen. (I hardly ever take the prescription pain meds after the first day)
One of the nurses told me day 3 was the worst because your scabs usually start to fall out that day .. I'm starting to believe her! Ha!

Recovery from anything like that sucks. But it will soon be over and in your rear view mirror.

Just one question.
What is “throat coat” tea? The “throat coat” jokes that are dancing around in my head right now … wellllll, I’m sure you can imagine.

It's the name of a tea the singer for lamb of god turned me into.

It's the only thing I've found that helps in the slightest.

Okay, so....
Thoughts on the JVM vs. the TSL?
Click to expand...

Mostly summed up by this: they both absolutely rock!
It's like having two kids, they are a little different, mostly the same, and you love them both equally ha ha ha.

I find the JVM to have more gain on tap for sure.
They both have great tones and for the most part similar tones.
Obviously there are many more flavors to choose from with the JVM.
The TSL has always been my favorite amp and tone for standard and drop D tunings, always been my go to for recording and sounds a little better for passive pickups than actives.

So far my take is basically the JVM can do everything the TSL does, plus a few things more, such as the programmable footswitch! And 4 channels vs 3. It's a bit grittier and likes drop tunings better than the TSL. It's tighter too.

I don't know crap about clean tones, so I'm no help there.
I find the JVM to be a little more modern flavored.
I find the TSL to be a little smoother.

I'm no Euge V. or even Ola E, but those are my two cents worth for now anyhow, until I get a lot more hours with the JVM.

Maybe one day soon I'll compare and contrast the TSL, Mode Four, and JVM for fun!

I think the TSL is a hugely underestimated amp because it really is a middle ground between the 800,900,DSL single channel kind of ripper amps and the flagship JVM with all the bells and whistles.

The TSL got a bad rap for sure, but I think it's my favorite Marshall too. A healthy one is absolutely beastly. Will stand up to a 2203's kick and do it with a grin on it's face, and kick right back!

I haven't yet played on a JVM. Sounds like it should do the same and then some!
