I recently purchased at Mesa 2x12 closed-back extension cab with Celestion V30s, and I love it. Even with the Celestion Gold G10 speaker in my 5:25 combo, there wasn't enough roundness and depth for larger gigs. Now, running all 3 speakers, it's a freakin' dream.

If your looking for a sparkly clean boost with no compression, I would suggest the Xotic RC Booster.

From what I have read on this board and others, putting a 12at7 in the PI slot (v4) may just tame the gain just the way you would like.

I started playing guitar at age 30, and finally after 14 years, decided to buy my first tube amp. It was one of those “how long are you going to wait before you buy the gear you REALLY want?” situations, and after lusting over the Express series for a while, I pulled the trigger and purchased...

Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Also, where can I get that talent booster pedal?

Hi Folks! Quick summary about my gear (just like in the comic books where somewhere in the opening dialogue Wolverine has to explain that his adamantium claws can cut through anything) I have: - Express 5:25 1 x 10 with a Celestion Gold G10 - Clyde Fulltone Deluxe Wah --> Qtron Plus -->...

simply beautiful!

On was on the 25 watt setting. It was chock full of crispy good-ness. My only slight issue is with my Qtron+ which I have dialed in for that Garcia Mutron sound. With it, and the amps settings that night, I had to dial my guitar volume way back or sounds overloaded - however, it I tweak the...

So, I've had my Express 5:25 1x10 for about a year now, and the only mod I have made is swapping out the stock speaker for the Celestion G10 Gold (thanks Pappy!). I've played out about a dozen times in a band setting and have loved the Clean sound, with an OCD pedal for some dirt. This past...

I consider myself a noob, so I appreciate any/all replies, and am thankful for the fan suggestion . I know that playing alot will surely get the job done, but was looking for shortcuts, as I have a gig coming up a week from Saturday. I did the following from the Celestion site already, but...

I was thinking gig volumes. Are those setting too high for an 8 hour loop, and if so, are there any suggestions?

Hi All, When breaking in my new speaker for the Express 1x10, is it safe for me to run a loop for say 8 hours at moderate levels: Clean Channel Gain = Noon Treble = 10:30 Mids = 10:30 Bass = 9:00 Master = Noon Would this time duration be over doing it? I'm relatively isolated, and could set...

edward - I'm probably not the best person to poll regarding this as this is my first tube amp - hence my first speaker swap/comparison as well. That being said, and with the G10 right out of the box and not broken in, the one thing that has really jumped out at me is increase in clarity and...

Is it wrong to check the CC online statement to see if the G10 will be under the tree this year? Will this put me in bad standing with Mr. Claus?

C'mon Santa, don't let me down! Papa needs a new 10" speaker! Love all the feedback folks! Thanks for making me feel so welcome in this forum. Happy Holidays to all!
