    Which Tubescreamer to get? What about Analogman?

    I just bought a Keeley modded TS9DX :D

    The "New" Mesa preamp tubes

    Hey,thanks man! It never occurred to me that the circuitry may be an issue. I think I'll take the head in after the holidays and get her checked out. Cheers!

    The "New" Mesa preamp tubes

    Obviously I tried the tubes out. I'm still getting a baffling crackling sound and I figured if the new tubes are not glowing (at all) this has got to be the issue. I've replaced "bad" tubes before and the issue goes away...at least for awhile. Surely someone has experienced this situation before?

    The "New" Mesa preamp tubes

    Hey guys I had a couple preamp tubes that needed replacing,so I picked up a couple of the new SPAX7-A High Grade tubes and noticed that the filaments did not glow. So,I returned them and picked up a couple more...same result-no glow!? Are there issues with these new tubes? On a side note: I've...

    Dual Rectifier and THD Yellowjackets? How do they sound?

    Hey man! The easiest way I can put this is, putting Yellowjackets in a Dual Rec is like putting a lawnmower engine in a Ferrari. Why not pick up a 5 or 10 watt tube amp? Orange Tiny Terror comes to mind. Seriously,Yellowjackets will make your Mesa sound very British,think Vox(ish).

    Bias switch

    Hey man! As long as the switch is set accordingly (6L6 or EL-34) you should be good to go. I am constantly going back and forth between the two in my Rectifier with no issues.

    Eq (ing) a Rectifier!?

    The EQ is an MXR 10 band (Kerry King model) I'm not sure if it's digital or analog. You know,it's funny; I had a JCM 900 head and a Peavey JSX head...didn't care for their tones much but they loved my pedals. I know I should have my flanger and phaser in the loop but they just seem to sound...

    Eq (ing) a Rectifier!?

    Hey Chris I've got my f/x mix pot at about 90% right now. Delay and Chorus sound awesome. Eq,when engaged,kinda emits a feedback(ish) noise. Maybe I'll try 10% or so? Thanks again to everyone who has replied! Ciao

    Eq (ing) a Rectifier!?

    Hey clutch71 I've got my delay and chorus in the loop and they work just fine. I may follow your lead and pick up an overdrive...I was looking at a Maxon OD808 as well as a BB pre amp. I hate to give up on my EQ,but...

    Eq (ing) a Rectifier!?

    Wow,thanks for the informative responses! Just to clarify a couple things, I am talking about a ten band eq pedal and I am trying to achieve a crunchy/bitier tone ala Hammerfall et al. I can't seem to achieve this tone with my amp or tubes so I figured an eq pedal may help in shaping my tone...

    Question on Single Rectifier. Really Bassy woofy sounds

    Hey doctadre I'm new to this forum as well; hopefully it's not too early to be dispensing tips and advice. I have a Single Rec. as well (of which I'm having some eq-ing issues). As tele_jas suggested, EL34's def. do brighten the amp up somewhat. I have a pair of JJ's as well as Mesa's STR 447...

    Eq (ing) a Rectifier!?

    Hey guys This is my first post on this great forum. I recently upgraded my rig to include a Single Rec. Solo Head 50 (may change to a Dual). My question is this: how in the heck does one eq this amp? My amp seems to hate every position I put it in; I want to put it in the loop but if I put it...
