Much appreciated!

Out of curiosity, who's the local Austin Mesa tech (i need some work done on my Studio-Pre)?

What is your presence set to on your 50/50?

Speaking of old SS amps, i had purchased a Gallien-Kreuger 212G back in the late 70's. The premise of that amp was that the "tube" sound came from the output transformers, so this SS amp had two honking output transformers on it. That, and a very solid frame withtwo EV 12s in it made it HEAVY...

Very tasty playing and the setup sounds great.

Sorry to ask this question again, but i could not find anything on the subject. I own a Stuidio Pre and a 50/50 and play through two 1 X 12 Thieles. I am usually playing fusion or alt-country (strange combo, i know). Since i want a balanced clean and overdriven sound when selecting one or the...

Actually, i'd be interested in some tips as well. I too am using the Studio Pre Mesa 50/50 combination along with A G&L strat copy and 2 single 12 Mesa cabs. I have been playing more country (or Nashville type rock) lately and i have been having a hard time with dialing in a good distortion...

Actually, i'm rather curious about this as well. I have an outdoor gig on Sunday and i'm running a 50/50 and a Studio Pre.

All, I own a Studio Preamp and I was curious if anybody has attempted a modification to add footswitch capabilities to the Lead Fat and Lead Bright switches? I called Mesa and they were very polite but told me that their techs would not perform that type of modification. I bought the SP...
