Boogie Shoes, Here's an idea to check out. Of course this will cost a few bucks as opposed to the do it yourselfer. I know they've used these things on drums for some time now. If you ever went with a shield like this around your amps or drums, I would recommend rehearsing with them for a while...

Yeah Monsta I think our ideas are along the same lines. Why not take a great amp (SLO, Lucky 13, Mesa, Marshall) and have a stab at making it a little-or a lot- better sounding to the beholder and hopefully the majority. I think a great lesson here is Marshall. How long have folks been modding...

Great informative posts fellas! I happened to stumble across this thread as I have a red belled Mercury Axiom and choke on the way. Should be here this week. Ordered from Patrick at Mercury yesterday. Great guy to talk with!I'm in a peculiar situation as my Mesa DR has been in the shop for a few...

Spirithunter....Suuuwwweeeetttt! Do I see a UA mic pre in the mix there? I run two UAD 1's (an Ultra and a Project) in my Dell and am forever amazed at the quality of the Universal Audio plugs. I've put so much into the plugs and puter that I've sort of neglected the front end (mic pre's and...

"Our chief tech has returned and had this answer to your question: The switching logic must be programmed into your presets. The Instant Access switches will not work for the channel switching on the Mesa amp as you want them to. The GCX loops are all isolated from each other so turning on...

+1 to Stomp Get it in the shop.My amp is in the shop at this time for a similar problem. It is no longer under warranty (2002 model DR) and the last I was told was that a "section" of my board was burned out and possibly my tranny. I was setting up a GC Pro and GCX and couldn't get the channels...

Adam, be careful what you're doing there cause I had a similar problem using the GCX and GC Pro with my Dual Rec. The configuration I was given to setup the GCX to change the 3 amp channels and the FX Loop was not right and caused my DR to crash hard. I could have all three channels on at once...

First you have to upload your images to an image hosting site such as what Ukalali and Spirithunter mentioned. Make sure that the image you intend to upload to this site is wrapped in image tags . Photobucket gives you this option just below your image and if you click on that it automatically...

Yeah man, I checked out your vid, sound clips and pics. Like the pic with the JCM 800 on the right and the 5150 on the left..a tone for everyone. Also like those custom inlays on the ESP. You must be a huge EMG fan. I dropped a Bare Knuckles Miracle Man in my 1993 Washburn N4 bridge and it just...

Sean, you have a beautiful rig there. I'm using an old "blackface" Intellifex in mine and I've been thinking about picking up the G-Force. My only reservations are that it also is a slightly aged piece and for another $400 I could be thinking about the Eventide Eclipse. Honestly I wouldn't be...

Thanks Chris K! Yeah I was thinking of doing the Pro Tools HD thing for a while when I was working full time and had the money to spend. But between the PA, the guitar rig, and the studio and an awful case of GAS syndrome, I realized I couldn't afford it. Not to mention all of the TDM (Pro...

Welcome fellow Boogeyman! If you need a little info concerning the GCX and GC Pro check out this thread: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=22792 These guys were of great help to me in setting up a GCX-GC Pro for a Dual Rec. I would imagine that the Roadster is configured not much...

Gabe, the way I had this setup was a AW-1 Auto wah in loop 1(used to have a MD-1 and a BOSS comp.), an MXR EVH phase in loop2 and a BOSS DD5 delay for longer lead and ambient delays in loops 3 & 4. Then 5,6,7,and 8 for the DR channel/FX Loops switching. Of course this will slightly change when...

Thank You Refixer and dgabriel! I did contact Nick at Voodoo Lab some time ago but the diagram they had drawn me showed all three channels wired. You're the second post I've read that mentioned the orange channel as being default and to wire just the 1st and 3rd. I'm awaiting the repair of my...

Need a little help here. I've gone over several diagrams showing how to properly configure the GC Pro & GCX to change the 3 channels and FX Loop of the DR. I have setup channels 5,6,7 & 8 to control chan's 1,2,3 and FX Loop respectively. The DR will default to the orange (crunch channel) but...

Mesa called back yesterday concerning my question. They said that there was no grounding issue with the external jacks, no certain type of cable ie. guitar/shielded-unshielded,speaker etc was needed. Regular guitar cable was fine and to contact Voodoo Lab about properly setting up...

Adam, By the way that's a nice rig you have there! I contacted Mesa today about the external switching jacks after giving the go ahead to my local repair shop to fix the Dual Rec. So now I await their call back. I will make it a point to try and find out all that is involved in switching...

Adam, I have a very similar setup as yours and coincidentally am going thru the same exact problem. STOP what you're doing immediately and contact Mesa! There is some information about using the GCX and the external switching jacks you should know before proceeding. This is what they told me...

nitrous, Here's a link to a great case company located in Pineville,N.C. (just outside of Charlotte) http://www.crowncases.com I purchased a dual head/eight space from them and the build is rock solid. A little more expensive-mine was custom built-but worth every penny. Rig pics...

boogie1, You didn't mention what speaker setup you were using. An impedance mismatch could cause something like this. Make sure your cabs are set up to match the proper speaker output from your amp. EX. 2-8 ohm output jacks into 2-16 ohm cabs, or 2-4 ohm output jacks into 2-8 ohm cabs. I don't...
