I have a 60-watt red stripe with EQ in a rackmount with fan. I've owned it since January but I can't justify keeping it and my Mark II plus a Subway Blues. Looking for $500. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Went there today to have a look see. They indeed have a Mesa room which had two Lonestar classics in amazing hardwood w/matching extension cabs ($$$$), a LSS in tolex, stiletto combo, several stacks with single, and dual rectos, road king, etc., road king combo, express 5/25 and 5/50 and the...

Since you called the CLer and ascertained it is in fact the same amp, that's great. Was the CLer the same person as the ebayer? Having lived in Brooklyn for the last 25 years, my reason for asking was that it doesn't make sense for a Brooklyn seller to list the item on CL as being in NJ. People...

Are you sure it's the same amp? CL post was in NJ, the one on ebay is in Brooklyn (btw, I bought my IIA from him, which he kindly delivered the next day).

Since you're using an L-5, I would guess you're going for an at least somewhat "traditional" jazz sound. Who would you compare your sound to? Wes, Kenny Burrell, Jim Hall, George Benson? I have a MkIIA and a MkIII red stripe. The II has a more prominent midrange to my ears and I prefer it for...

In this case, your note decay has nothing to do with the amp or guitar. It's a fact of acoustics. Certain resonant frequencies will be more pronounced in certain rooms, other frequencies in other rooms. If it were an amp problem, it would likely affect other pitches as well. Moving in relation...

+1 on the Barber. Bought it in January and now I don't leave home without it. Stated above in brief but worth emphasizing, the Barber does the classic compressor sound with the blend pot anywhere from about 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock (max). Chicken pickin' for days... With the blend pot at noon...

What happens then? A 12ax7 did that and I figured it can't be good so I chucked it. Just curious.

That tears it. I have to go to Bamonte's right now!

The lead master being limited by Master 1 can be a pain, but as long as the lead drive is set appropriately, it's fine. Tonally, setting the treble and mid so they are usable for both channels took some time to figure out. I usually set it higher than optimal for rhythm and back off the volume...

I've considered an OCD. A friend of mine runs one through his old vibroverb and it sounds great. Another day, another pedal. After rehearsing the project this afternoon, I'm going with the IIA for the upcoming gig, and will probably pick up the OCD in the near future. I can get a decent metal...

That thought did occur to me. Not that I don't love buying pedals, but I might have to take the MKII and use the Ubermetal pedal that I already own for now.
