It’s probably something to do with gainstaging honestly. Either way, I’ve found keeping the gain above around 9 and balancing w volume and presence sounds better anyway for a cleaner sound

As an update: The wonderful folks at Mesa 2 day’d me a new black shadow speaker. Install was pretty painless, I took out the chassis and reverb tank. Right off the bat it was working great. I played it loud and pushed it hard at practice yesterday and it sounded fantastic- problem free. Looks...

This is perhaps a very silly question- but I figured I’d ask it to try to understand my amp better. I have been running the IIB mode with the gain WAY down, around 9 oclock. I noticed, only on channel 3 and mostly with IIB mode, that there is a weird taper at the bottom end of the gain setting...

Precisely what the kind mesa rep said. Will do

The signal chain is a moot point, because after it started, I unplugged from my board and went right into the front. The issue persisted. My other guitar player plugged in his guitar- issue remained. Even tried a different cable. My thing is: there is an outlet we determined is bad power. A...

I did not, I just had it back to back with the blues deluxe. I just tried it again, let it warm up a lot, left the volume and gain up on channel 2 mode mark VII to about 2 o clock and just let it sit. After about 45 minutes I plugged into my board and began playing. I turned all 3 channels up...

Very interesting development. I tried the speaker with the blues deluxe and it’s fine. I even turned it up a bunch. Totally fine. Sounds excellent actually. So I said ok, I swapped the speaker back to the mesa and uh.. it’s completely fine now. No skipping at all and sounds great. Tried loud, on...

Super great advice here that I greatly appreciate. The only other amp I currently have with me is the fender blues deluxe reissue. I believe, according to fender specs, it’s got an 8 ohm speaker. I could try to plug that amp in to the boogie cab. Again, forgive me for my ignorance when it comes...

So I did reach out and they responded on a Sunday morning. Very prompt and excellent service. Theyre 2 daying me a new speaker. I’ve taken the chassis out of a few Vox AC30s. They suggested I try the speaker first and if that doesn’t work, they’ll have the service center near me repair it...

It is black and white cables covered by a rubber jacket. The speaker will cut out for intermittent periods of time, mostly for just a second or two. I was playing at gig volume, probably a little louder. But I had been playing it at the same-ish volume for the past couple months. Not extremely...

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I used a different cabinet (a very small crate speaker) in the 4 ohms output and it worked just fine. So I tried moving the onboard speaker over to 4 ohms. Still the same issue. It’s very strange, because it will only start to cut out if I strum a certain hardness.

I’ve had the combo for nearly 6 months now and it’s great, but during rehearsal today it started cutting out if I strummed to hard. I plugged it into a different 4 watt cabinet and it worked fine, but upon plugging into the speaker in the cab again; it still cuts out. I tried re-flowing the...
