Thanks for the write up on 448s , I have been wondering if they were gonna be my next set or not. I have quad set of 440s in the amp now, and know that the life time is going to end one day. So at least the 448s will not be big adjustment to my normal. The 415s probably sound good , but I am of...

I recently went to the store where I bought my JP2C+ and asked the question of their Main guitar/amp salesman, Jason, and he is Mesa guy through and through(bought My mesa 2x12 vert used from him in 2008ish from his personal travel rig should have bought the other one too). Jason said he A/B'd...

Dotonfire, The AX8 was something I should have looked at, but I missed that one when shopping. I almost got the AX FX II XL , or the XL+. I was thinking in 2016 JP was using one. But again i am sure that the effects are top notch and the editor works the same as the FX series. Lok

Thanks for the follow up. I like cleans of the JP2C+ almost as much as the Quad , they are in the Fender Blackface territory. Lok

You could get ahold of Michael Nielsen on you tube, the Quad he uses on some vids has toggle switches on the front, not foot switch needed. Had I seen that befor I sold my quad I would have had that mod done, just for conveyance's sake. I had an FU-2A, it only downfall(not really that bad)was...

Thanks for the advice on the tubes, just was wondering, did you have to have a rebiasing done? I am not worried as I am not playing seriously with any one at the moment, and I have really taken to my GT-1000 for practice, but always like to have a set of tubes ready to go. Lok

I agree about noise gates, I have yet to really use one, I have added one in the 1000 to one patch just to try it, but really don't need it. I have a love hate relationship with Shred, love tightening up of the low end, but it needs a tone knob added for those us not using screaming hot pickups...

TJT73, How do like the RJM for switching the amp, did you make presets? and then its ala cart for the effects? or are using all program set up? I was actually looking into that controller (the 10) because of the inserts for in the effects loop. I use a ground control plugged into the footswitch...

Now that's a great set up Thaymz, I am hoping to be able to pull that off similarly on the GT-1000, that is the only Effects unit(Axe FX III) I wanted more than the Boss, but alas I am not actively playing at the moment. I am ready at the drop of a hat and the GT-1000 does bass well too and I...

I am asking are you using pedal board, or using an all in one Axe FX, Boss GT-1000, Headrush pedal board etc... I have a pedal board now with a 4 wire set up , with a black loop before the amp and one in the loop to segment stuff as i saw fit. 1. guitar cable into tuner Korg pitch black , then...

Dark, Yeah the pop on first channel change is somewhat normal(may also happen if the amp has been on for long time without changing channels). I dont ever hear it anymore as soon as i power up but before I switch off standby ,change the channel. Good to hear the noise problem was cured. As to...

Darkstar, The Fizz is not supposed to be there, I am guessing either bad tube(#1 is the main suspect) or perhaps noise is the power, try plugging in to another circuit where your amp is at. Trouble shooting should start simple, set up channel one, two and three with the settings in the manual...

Moved on from this issue, 6 months ago I added a Tumnus mini to my board on the front. Now I only use the Shred feature to tighten up low tuning (via a TC electronics Brain waves). I only add the Tumnus for single note runs or solos as needed on channel 2, still using channel 3 for regular...

Hello all, So now that I am out of the warrantee period, I was wondering is there a set anyone found from another supplier that they recommend. I have complete quad set 6L6 STR443 from mesa here. Also; let me know what Preamp tubes you like and why? My set up now is SPAX mesa in position 1 and...

I have a question on the shred? I know it's before the effects loop. I know it only works with channels 2&3, but where is it in the overall lay out? is it part of gainstage 5 (or even before that) is it prior to gainstage 4, could it even be in between them. I have yet to see a schematic on this...
