    FS or Trade - Mesa TriAxis V1

    Hi all, I ended up with a Version 1 TriAxis that I don't need. It's listed on the bay here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150342933605 Here's a demo of what mine sounds like on the LD2 Yellow preset: http://garyalan.bravehost.com/media/triaxis-demo.mp3 I'm asking 850 at...

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    That's ok - I'm simply relaying info about this buffer - I'm not designing or building it ;)

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    I think being called clueless is a little harsh there guy. But yes, there will be a recovery stage in the buffer - that's why it needs an 18 volt power supply. -g

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    No typo. That's actually the way it's supposed to work. The only way to separate an amp's preamp from it's power amp is to capture it's input (input jack on the amp) and it's preamp output (effects send). When you place that part of the real amp in the gt8's loop you can put effects before...

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    The TC Electronic Nova System, G-Major and G-Force oughta work because they're made for 24db line level signals. I was actually thinking of buying a Nova System - they look really cool. :) So just read the specs in the manual for something before you buy it. You can't use anything that a...

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    Hi all, Just wanted to post my findings here for any other Mesa 50 Caliber + users who intend to use fx in the loop. I bought a Digitech DSP1101 because the 4 cable method was in the manual and also because the loop receive in the DSP1101 was selectable between +4 and -10. Well, it didn't...

    Long time lurker, first time post

    Thanks man - I did call Mesa to ask why my JSX works with my Boss GT-8 but the 50cal+ didn't - basically the tech told me that the inputs on the all-in-one guitar fx units are too sensitive... But that doesn't tell me why even a studio processor's effected output can distort! That loop *must*...

    Long time lurker, first time post

    Hi Steve, I have a Mesa 50 Caliber+ and the loop is pretty much unusable. I'm pretty sure the IIB and the 50cal have similar loop circuitry. Right now the only thing I'm able to run in the loop is an old Alesis Midiverb2 - and only because it has a serious amount of cut on the input knowb...

    Thanks meursault - whenever you have time is fine with me! :)

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    Can you take a pic of the back of your amp for me? I'm not sure if the knob you're referring to is the direct out knob... maybe you have an effects send knob? Or maybe it's a mix knob and your loops is parallel instead of series. -g

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    ...so, my local amp tech said that the mesa's loop is probably just too powerful for sensitive gear like the GT-8. He said I should try gear made for +4db signal instead of -10db consumer grade. So I bought a new Digitech GSP1101 - will be here today. I'll post my results. The 4 cable method...

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    I don't see why you can't try it out. :) I have the same amp as you so I know that the rhythm channel can stay pretty clean depending on your gain position... -g

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    Well, you'd be distorting an already distored signal. You can do it, but it won't sound very good! Just my .02$ :)

    Mesa .50 Caliber+ Effects Loop and Boss GT-8 Issue

    It would be normally that way, yes. The way I'm doing it allows me to put wah, flanger, etc in front of the amp (like using pedals) and keep the time based effects post overdrive on the 50cal+. Even with a normal "guitar to amp, processor in the loop" setup I have swishing noises though. The...
