Welcome indeed! I have a Mark IV and a Nomad, along with a TA-30. My favorite? Whichever one I am playing at the moment! :cool:

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the club! I've played nothing but Mesas for years. My favorite one? Whichever one is powered up and plugged into! :cool:

Welcome indeed! Nice choice.

I don't know enough about amp internals to tell you much. I know on mine, the treble is not nearly that aggressive. When I have had questions about my Mesas, I called them directly. Most of the time, they have been able to answer my questions. It may be an option for you.

I have used it from time to time, but not on a regular basis. For what I play, I like it without it. With it, it does give it more pop and juice, but it also brings in a lot of noise.

Never played the 55. Mine is a 45 1x12. I don't use channel 3 a whole lot. But, channel 2 gives a thick, juicy tone that I like a lot. Channel 1 has some really nice clean tones. I wish there was a way to take channel 1's "pushed" tones and replace channel 3 with them. Lol. My Nomad is a lot...

Which side of the amp do you find to be the issue? Using the Vox side in cut mode can ease the treble saturation. On the other side, I have not had a treble issue per se. On both sides, I set the treble about half-way. And, dumb question, but, when you say 7:00, are you facing the amp, or...

Hope you like your TA-30. I have one - one of my three Mesas. And, welcome to the zoo.

Welcome to the wing! :cool:

Welcome! I had a 5:50 for a while, but not a 5:25. It was a great amp, but covered a lot of the same ground my other Mesas did.

Yeah. I haven't noticed it on mine. I posted about it hoping someone would see it and say something like "Oh yeah. it's true when ____" - and the scenario would match the OP's.

You probably already know this. But ... my Nomad manual says the footswitch will turn reverb on/off for all channels, but with one caveat: NOTE: When the Reverb Footswitch is used to disengage the Re- verb, a small amount of wet signal can still be heard. To completely remove the Reverb from...

I went a different route. I cabled the amp input into my patch bay. Switching amps is pretty easy. For amp output, I bought a de-Leslie amp speaker switcher. This gives me the option of running the amp output into a PS-2 in addition to other cabs. Nice work on your setup, though. Impressive...

Mine is a 45. I am like @RyanTandy, I don't use any drive pedal on it because it has the gain and tone I want. Channel 2 is where I spend 90% of my time.
