I should have mentioned... I ordered a floor model RKI in 2005 with some scuffs on the tolex only because the salesman at Guitar Center promised to order me a new one. I was allowed to keep the RKI as a loaner until the new one came in. I didn't have any idea that I would be getting a revised...

They first look in your ears to make sure everything looks okay. Then they put a piece of string with a little piece of foam tied to it into your ear canal. They put a foamy putty kind of material into your ear canals with a plastic syringe. Wait a few minutes, and they gently pull on the...

I waited 14 months for a RKII! It was right when they were going from series I to II. There was a ton of miscommunication and false information about the status of the Road Kings floating around. I think they ended up holding out until NAMM to release the RKII with the upgraded features. I...

Hey everyone, my band is playing with fairly well-known band called Piebald at the Lawrenceville Moose near Pittsburgh, PA on March 18th. We (Migrations) use Mesa amplifiers at our gigs - 2 Dual Rectifiers, a Road King, and sometimes a LSS. We're a pop-rock/alternative kind of band...

They're sending me a new rectifier tube and a new track-loc plate! My customer service experience over the phone today was by far the best I have ever had with Mesa. I couldn't be happier! :D

I have a very new LS and the rectifier tube rattles like crazy and produces a strange hissing noise. Even when it's on standby I can hear the thing hissing and rattling in the back on my amp. My question is: Does anyone know if Mesa will replace this under the 6 month tube warranty? Would...

The Dual Rectos that I see most often are the standard ones without reverb. Only the older Trem-o-verbs and the still-in-production Rect-o-verbs have built in reverb.

They added a 10 watt Class A feature on the 2007 Lone Stars.

I gig with a vertical 2x12. The main reason I started doing it was because it's protected by a flight case and my 4x12 isn't. Now, I actually prefer the sound of the 2x12 over that of the 4x12. My band plays pop rock/alt. rock, and I personally play rock, jazz, and blues too. The bass...

My assumption was that they fixed the problem, and tried to see if they could replicate what may have made that internal component go bad.

I remember reading on Mesa's website a few years ago that their amps have an internal surge protection circuit. http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Building_Keepers/building_keepers.html I wonder if that is what they fixed in your amp?

I am very pleased with the sounds I'm getting from the LSS on channel 2 with the drive engaged. I used it to practice with my band all day yesterday with both a Tele and an SG, and had great results with both. I run channel 2 for my rhythm playing with the drive at 11:00, gain at 2:00, Treble...

I ordered mine from a store that's about an hour from me. They shipped it out to me the same day. You can get a list of Fulltone's dealers here http://www.fulltone.com/dlrframe.html and see if there are any near where you live.

I second the Fulltone Clyde Deluxe. It's pretty expensive, but totally worth it. True-Bypass, 3 modes, 10 step adjustable gain, hand-wired in USA, and built to last! I think it sounds great on both clean and distortion. The 5 year warranty is nice too, just in case something would happen to...

I would suggest at least opening the box up and checking that all of the tubes are okay. I don't know if it was a bad batch of 12AX7s or not, but mine had a preamp tube busted during shipping. When I took it home after an hour and a half drive from Guitar Center (where they assured me that my...

I have dealt with Mesa two separate times concerning bad tubes and they replaced them without any trouble. Give them a call and let them know what happened and they should mail you a new pair of EL-34s. You might need your receipt to prove the date of purchase.

Those of you that gig with your LSS: How high do you guys have the channel and master volumes? What are some of your settings? I play in a rock band with a heavy hitting drummer and another guitarist using a Dual Recto. We're pretty loud live, and my previous amp set up has been sufficient...

Are SLO BLO fuses the same as time delay fuses? Is it just that different brands give them different names? Buss fuses come in fast-acting and time delay. I have been using the time delay ones because I have been assuming they were the same as a SLO BLO. Anyone know for sure?

There are three versions of the Road King. The first is known as only the Road King. There are two versions of the Road King II. The main difference I see between the RKII v.1 and v.2 is that v.2 has a tuner out with a tuner mute button on the footswitch. I think this replaced the midi...

Be careful! Depending on what speaker is loaded in the cab, I don't think a 1x12 can handle the output power of the Dual Rectifier. Mesa's 1x12 only has a V30 that can handle 60 watts. I'm not familiar with the Thiele cab. What kind of speaker does it have in it? Does the back of the cab...
