Thanks for the detailed response. My power tubes are the green color code. I'm getting tones I'm happy with for the death metal stuff, but ultimately the think the 6505+ is just better suited to those genres so I will most likely just continue with the 6505+ for my original stuff and use the...

Thanks guys. I'm getting closer to what I'm going for with your suggestions. I'm finding that I prefer the tone with the presence pulled but almost completely turned down, otherwise the tone just gets way too thin/nasal. Boosting helps, and I greatly prefer my one guitar with active pickups...

Thanks, I'll give that a go once I'm home from work today.

I suppose I need to spend a ton more time getting things dialed in because I'm not getting anywhere close to modern metal tones with what I've tried thus far. I am familiar with the Mark series tone stack in general where the treble and presence tend to be the most powerful, with the middle and...

Excellent condition Mesa JP-2C head. There is on small imperfection in the tolex on the back of the amp, but otherwise it is in perfect shape. Includes unopened Mesa amp cover, footswitch & cable, manual, warranty info. I have plenty of positive references at sevenstring.org, various FB...

Been away from Mesa for a while, but have had my eye on the JP-2C since they came out and was able to snag one yesterday. I've only had a few hours to play it so far but my initial impressions are positive for the most part. I had a Mark V and had a love/hate relationship with it and ended up...

Thanks for the offer but I was able to sell it locally and forgot to update this thread.

Local deal in the works, on hold for now. Update: SOLD

Bump - buyer fell through, back up for sale.

I have a Roadster head in great condition for sale. Includes the tube protection bar, original footswitch & cable, power cable, and manual. The amp is in great condition, with just a couple tolex scuffs and minor wear on the corners. Everything functions as it should. Updated with better...

I'd say you got the better end of that trade. Very nice!

It is probably a tube-related issue. If you have spare 12ax7, I'd try it in the V1 spot since V1 affects all channels. It could also be a sign your power tubes need replacing.

I prefer chorus in front of the amp as well. Also running an ISP Decimator in front (works better than in the loop in my experience) and a boost pedal for different flavors.
