Chris your posts in this thread have helped me understand EQ better than anything I've read. It's nice reading about what frequencies mean mud, which ones sound woody, which ones are like which band, etc. I'm definitely going to pick up one of those Danelectros to put in my Roadster loop...

I started a Brit mode praise thread a while back. I did some searches but can't find it; if there's a way to find all posts or threads by me then you may find some inspiration in the thread. I got some good tones from it by turning the treble way down (9:30 or so) boosting the mids and bass to...

I got a couple of Yellow Jackets for my Roadster. The instructions that came with them says to put them in the outer two slots or the inner two slots. Which two tubes are on when the 50 watts is selected? I don't know if I should set it up to be 50 watts = Yellowjacket tubes and 100 watts =...

Got them - they fit.

At practice yesterday using the Spider I found that Marshall channel cut best and sounding the most authentic when playing with a group, but the Mesa channel sounds too compressed and gainy sounding at the higher volumes. At lower volumes though I much prefer the Mesa model with the Marshall...

Don't count out the F-30... it may be the smallest but it growls and screams just like the big boys :)

The 30 dollar footswitch only lets you go through your channels, I think you have to upgrade to a pricey one before it will let you toggle effect on/off.

Stop following me musicman...... :lol:

Metalmatt what are those dimensions? And Rockhound, do you remember how long the YJs were? I have just around 6 inches of clearance, looks like.

Will they fit in a Roadster head? I've read about how they sound in rectifiers, but I want to make sure they'll fit. The guy I'm buying them from says you need about 6 inches of clearance and the Roadster head has a little less than 6 inches from my measurements. Thanks!

+1 to the Spider... the Spider III is relatively new and lots of people on the Line 6 board talk about how it sounds better than the old Spiders. I just got the 30 watt Spider III as a practice/backup amp last week... I love it! The Mesa model sounds really, really good, at reasonable bedroom...

Sorry, the Hotplate has been sold, sorry for not updating :(

There is still some sparkle for me as long as I keep my treble above 9 oclock - but the Pearly Gates that I use has a bright top end itself so that probably helps me. I'll be trying this EQ technique tonight at a show, going off the idea that the cymbals take up the high frequencies and the...

Dang... when I wanted to put Mark IV knobs on my Roadster Mesa told me that they were 9 bucks apiece!

So I've been wondering about power tube saturation, preamp distortion, volume levels, guitar signal path, etc. and started another thread about that, which has some good information about the innerworkings of Mesas and my recent experiences with attenuator experimentation and such... Check it...

OK, I played around with the amp yesterday and experimented with volume levels... its pretty **** loud, but I found the difference between Tube rectifier and the diode as far as volume levels go - the diode keeps getting louder whereas the tube rectifier loses out on the volume increase. That is...

You should! What's nice is that since its just a clean boost, you get to hear what a clean boost is like and then if you decide you'd like a mid boost with the clean boost, then you can sell the SD and get a tubescreamer type pedal. The SD is a great sort of "starter" boost pedal; I don't see...

****... so this whole time I was thinking that preamp distortion wasn't as good, striving for power tube saturation with my cranked Master levels, but it turns out that the rocking tones that I'm growing to love actually IS preamp distortion. Ah, the path of amplifier enlightenment. So then it...

Cool, thanks for the info! My particular amp is a Roadster. How do multiple gain stages affect the tone as opposed to just one gain stage? I'm coming from a Fender Hot Rod, so I understand the single gain stage. Since Mesas have a "master master," does that mean that on a Roadster if you crank...

Can someone explain the path that the guitar signal takes when going through an amp, with regards to the controls? That is, guitar to preamp, the gain controls ________, then the signal goes to ______, master controls _____, and so on. I'm trying to better understand what my amp's controls do...
