Hey Jdurso It's been a long while since anybody posted on this great (dead? I hope not) thread. How is everything going with those NOS tubes? Did you change any of them? I'm tempted to pull the trigger and go tube hunting at evilbay!! Before I said those NOS tubes are expensive...why should...

yeah I agree with you about sloppiness, bonkers... :lol: this is the old classic amp/pedal combination for leads issue Bruno, I think you will not be happy until you try all of the recommended pedals and then decide wich one is the best for you (that is, if you decide not to sell the amp first...

I use a Mesa 2x12 recto cab... yep v30s... those things can sound really honky and harsh without proper amp settings

Bruno Petrucci's concerns regarding the Roadster (RKII in my case) are pretty much the same as mine. I've been frustrated with the difficulty of playing fast lead lines with this amp, because of that loose,harsh and unforgiving feeling when playing. Hahaha I'm making it sound like I'm better off...

I already knew about this trick and it takes a bit of time to get used to the sound because of that "blanket over the cab" feel but once you do you will not want to dial more presence...if you're looking for a smoother tone, of course. Sometimes I dial more presence but it sounds too harsh and...

hahah good joke! :lol: now... if Mesa ever decides to build amplifiers in China, I would be :shock: to say the least...and I hope that never happens. The Mesa Boogie brand is known and respected for their high quality custom shop products made in USA and that is something not to mess with...

Mesa Boogie Road King II Tube Functions V1 A= First Gain Stage V1 B= Second Gain Stage V2 A= 3rd Gain Stage - Ch 1 & 2 V2 B= 3rd Gain Stage - Ch 3 & 4 V3 A= 4th Gain Stage - Ch 3 & 4 V3 B= Tone Stack Driver - Ch 3 & 4 V4 A= Reverb Return V4 B= Reverb Driver V5 A= FX Loop Send V5 B= FX Loop...

hey jdurso this is a great guide for us folks looking for a better tone... it's been a while since i posted in here and if I remember I was asking for advice on od pedals... I ended up buying a bb preamp i have a boogie road king 2 head... and recto 2x12... i love the recto sound and the sparkly...

well, yeah maybe another mesa amp is better suited for leads (mark amps or stiletto) , but i really love my RKII head so i don't mind if i have to buy a compressor or overdrive pedal to achieve what i want... today i set the amp on spongy using channel 3 with 2x6l6 and 2xel34 (same as before but...

oops! i forgot you made your own pedal... that's out of the question for me because i don't know anything about electronics and i'm far too lazy to build my own pedal :lol: thanks!

Hello :) Thanks for your opinion guys Old BF Shred so you're positive about the Tone Press being a good choice, that's great! Do you play with the pedal engaged all the time for both riff and solos? The thing that interested me about this pedal when i read about it, is that when engaged it...

:lol: thanks for your input... but still... if this pedal is the solution for that, maybe a lot more people here would be crazy about it for leads... because i see they have different ways to solve this stiffness and sustain problem (od pedals and eq)... and... yes i wish to achieve this...

anyone? :(

:lol: hahah i was just fooling around with that "mesanite" thing...

Hello fellow mesanites It's been a while since i posted here... this is my question Is the Barber Tone Press worthy for distorted solos? I want to make my road king 2 feel less choppy and with more sustain and if possible with the distortion of the amp alone... (i hope it is not impossible)...

I was told by a friend that i still have to plug to a step down transformer even if i have a power conditioner... well i'll do anything to protect my gear and to get rid of that multi-outlet thing. Those monster 3500 or 5100 power pro look really good.

hello check my thread about the creamy lead tone... the forum guys swear by the ocd... it has to be really good.... and that pedal is in a completely different league than boss metal zone wich i think is horrible... :)

Yeah that's right! 8) it is really creamy but right now i can't use that configuration because in my band i need the third channel on raw mode for moderated distortion riffs and so that channel is dialed for riffs ... :roll: when i'm not playing in the band i use that setup with the third...

Hello Right now i have the gear i need to play with my band... a road king ii head, g-force fx processor, rjm amp gizmo and voodoo labs ground control pro but soon i'm going out for gigs so i need to protect my gear with a quality rack case and make sure that all the stuff get clean power. I...

now i have a different setup...instead of using only 4 buttons of presets x bank and the rest 8 switches as if they were my old road king footswtich on the gcp ... wich didn't make much sense i have changed to 10 presets x bank so i save the relays configuration on the gizmo + specific fx...
