Anyone have any tips or know of any cleaners that would do this job well? The steel is looking a little dull and not nearly as shiny as I've seen some recto heads.

I wouldn't trade either one of my two Carvins for an ESP personally... How old is the TL60, and what is the pickup config?

Attempting to anyway... :mrgreen: The interface is actually powered by the firewire cable from the computer. It has the option to be externally powered, but I don't have it hooked up that way. Also, it's plenty quiet when recording anything else. I'll have to try some things and get back to...

Cab is definitely hooked up. I know unplugging it is a big "no no". Slave was running out via an instrument cable into a line input of a Mackie firewire interface. This noise is definitely worse than any sort of monitor, cell phone, or ground hum. Now that I think of it, I may have been...

Snagged it last night. Thank you so much. This will be a treat to mess around with and is a steal at $15!

I've been researching the whole Speaker Impulse response method lately, and I know you can use an amp head's line out (or slave out). So my question is (and I'm assuming this is the case) if I need a DI box to successfully record the slave out from my Dual Rectifier head. It's really noisy...

Not to deny any of the credibility of your answer, but this only recently started happening. It's not consistent either. Sometimes it's short and happens right away, and sometimes it's long and it delayed a second or two after powering on. I just figure if it's a normal thing, it should have...

I have been experiencing a strange buzzing noise for a brief period immediately following turning on the power switch on my 3 ch. dual rec head. The amp seems to be working just fine, but it's a little discomforting to hear an almost electrical buzzing every time I fire it up. Don't know if...

Ain't that the truth... Believe me, I want a Mark, but I got my dual rec used for $900. I was a deal that was too good to pass up. I really like it for the most part, despite its lacking lead tone.

So, I know I haven't spent a ton of time tweaking my dual rec head yet, and that could be a large part of the issue here, but I can't seem to get a good lead tone from it. In all honesty, it makes my neck pickup, especially, sound like a pickup you'd hear in a Wal-Mart guitar. It's not smooth...

It is quite possible that what I'm hearing is the amp's natural voice, but since I can't seem to dial out that high-end harshness, I can't effectively get much of a smooth lead tone out of it. Mind you, for clarification, that the amp has this hiss/harshness while being played, not while...

So I just received my Dual Rec yesterday, and the previous owner put Fender-labeled Groove Tube 6L6s in the power stage. Not sure if they're any good, but they appear to be relabeled Sovtek tubes. Dropped in some Ruby EL34s to see if that changed much. Couldn't tell an immediate difference...

Hey, just a quick question relating to the tube/diode switch for the rectifiers on the back of a Dual Rec. Is it safe to switch between tube/diode rectifiers during normal operation of the amp? I ask because I have a small tube combo that has a wattage selector switch that changes between a...

Good to know. Thanks a lot!

Hi all, got a Dual Rectifier 3ch. head on the way. I've been reading the users manual and had a question about the tubes. I never knew before that Mesa biased their amps in this way, but it is definitely a cool concept. Since Mesa tubes are released only within a certain tolerance to best...
