I have an f100 2/12 combo and it is crazy loud. It is my first mesa and first real quality amp. Got it in trade for a Taylor 712, kinda regret making that trade from time to time but that is another story. It is a good amp and I am thankful the SOB has wheels. It does sound it's best cranked...

Interesting....how much did you pay for that thing?

I have an f100 combo and the clean channel is as different as night and day to the dirty channel. I don't think and eq in the loop could compensate. The eq characteristics are so different for each channel. I have a tonelab running into the front of the amp right now, I use the clean channel...

Clutch...their latest...."Strange Cousins From The West" Blues based rock a bit on the heavier side. Check them out if you have never heard of em. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dxk03pdrkg Buffalo Killers....let it ride.....these guys sound like they are from the seventies....look like it too...

I didn't know they made speakers from hemp!! ...can you smoke 'em?? Seriously....if you do get them, let us know how you like them.

That's interesting.... So....let me get this straight. If I plug a patch cord into the send and leave the other end free....then I can plug the output from say....a tone lab se into the return and then be using only the power amp section?

If it sounds good....then what the hell!!haha. Something else I thought of....I wonder what it would do sound wise if you did the effects loop jumper volume control thing with your set up.That'd be a frankenstein SOB there! I did it on my amp and got quite a bit more tonal range than normally...

Did you try it in the front input?

Ok. I haven't had a chance to check the resistance readings yet but if I do and I determine that the tank is ok, I could replace the chips and or transistors. I have a fair amount of electronic experience, soldering and what not. Can I determine which things I need to replace by looking at the...

Thanks for the information and links. You are/have been a big help! I think I will post this in the tube section as there is always a lot of talk about microphonic tubes.

Ok...so a question that occurred to me was....Could the foot switch cause the reverb not to work...even if it is not plugged in, by way of turrning the reverb off and then unplugging the foot switch? I have had some issues with the footswitch in the past. The plug that plugs into the foot switch...

I was fooling around with my f212 combo last night. I noticed that I had forgotten to put the tube retainers back on. I replaced them and alot of the noise I was getting went away. I was getting alot of random static-ee popping sounds...not real loud but loud enough to be annoying as hell. I...

I know this off topic but I have also been fooling around with the preamp tubes and I have a question about WHEN exactly is a tube considered microphonic? If I turn the amp on and turn it to channel 2, turn the gain up to ten and then start turning the level up it starts getting squealy around...

Hi, I took the tank out and looked it over, it looks ok...checked the connections and they seem fine. I took the foot pedal out of the mix to eliminate that. I tried plugging in the rca jacks in backwards than what they were and I started picking up a radio station! Reverb still not working...

like he said....turn the bass down...way down to almost nothing. Turn your treble and mid to about the three o clock postion and see if thats any better. The Bass control on the gain channel, like many here have stated before, is an anti flubb control.
