I play my full Trem-O-Verb stack in my metal band :twisted: , but I'm also getting into instrumental SURF 8) . I can get a decent surf tone with my Strat straight in, but I'm considering a 2x12 to maximize the clean tone and for easier portability because I just don't need a full stack for the...

I do shipping/receiving for a living. Don't waste any time, get on the phone with UPS and initiate a claim. Becaue it's high value they'll want to pick it up for inspection. From that point just play by their rules and you should be compensated. If their inspection determines it was not...

I own a full stack Mesa Trem-o-Verb as my main rig, and a Carvin V3 half stack as a back up. I asked the other guys in the band to give me their preference after I set both up at a recent rehearsal and jammed back and forth between the two, working out different tone settings on the amps and...

I just tried out a Stiletto Ace combo. I GOTTA get one. I'm ordering the head version since I have cabinets already. I only got to play it for 10 minutes at low volume, but I could tell it's a monster! The only thing- I wish it had reverb. I know there are some good reverb pedals out there, but...

http://www.ampblackout.com/Footswitches.html I contacted them a few months back and the guy was cool, I just haven't gotten around to ordering one myself yet.

I had a Trem-o-Verb combo many years ago that spontaneously caught fire while jamming and by the time we got it put out there wasn't enough left of it to diagnose what could have caused it. I'd like to think it was my blazing licks :twisted:, but the Mesa tech back then couldn't even figure it...

I'm still working on tones with mine, too. Had it for a few months now and done several gigs with it in a metal band. I like that I can adjust the amp to fit the venue. Even playing metal I seem to be spending most of my time on the blues setting in tube/spongey and with massive volume get all...

It looks like the band I just joined is going to be doing a lot of shows. I don't consider it professional, though, since it's only for fun and we all have families and day jobs. All the band members have a lot of good quality, high-end expensive gear. I'm actually getting some cheapo stage...

I got my Trem-o-Verb from a former lead guitar player for George Clinton. He said it was his stage amp for 7 years. Doesn't get much more funky than that!

Gibson Faded V in worn cherry is on the way! Funny I didn't think of those also. Thanks to all! 8)

I recently joined an 80s throwback metal band in the vein of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept, etc. :lol: The other guitarist uses real vintage Gibson Explorers that are battle worn but still awesome. It's been suggested to me that my Parkers aren't exactly METAL and to fit the band's theme I...

The name of the band WAS Stratus, but we just found out that name is already being used by several other bands, one of which actually legally owns it. So we're working on a new name. The festival was a community fund raiser in Sonora, CA. All just small local bands, but the turn out was great...

Just got back from my first gig with my Trem-o-Verb. It was an outdoor festival with something like 10 bands. A few classic rock bands, a few blues bands, a couple pop bands, but only one METAL band- mine. Lots of Fenders and Marshalls out there. A few Hiwatts and Oranges, too. My band...

Yep, there will be a huge PA. It's the tone, not volume or coverage that I'm concerned with. The last thing I want to do is run a crappy tone into this monster PA they're gonna have. Got lucky, though. The promoter agreed to let is do a down and dirty soundcheck the day before. No PA or drums...

Exactly what I needed to hear! Got the extra tubes and fuses covered, worked out some 'sign language' with a buddy who's gonna get right in front of me and help me adjust accordingly, I'll run the cabs side by side instead of stacked, and just go for it. Was just notified that we get to play for...

I've got an outdoor day gig playing in a very high volume metal band in front of an expected crowd of 2,000 in a few days. I bought a Trem-o-verb a few months back and I'm running it into 2 4x12 Recto cabs. It will be my first show in a long time, the first show with my new band, and the first...

From day one when I started playing 25 years ago on a little Ampeg 1x12 combo with a Boss distortion pedal, up to now on my Trem-o-verb full stack, I have always been able to nail MY tone. I'm not saying that the various Marshalls, Mesas, Fenders, Carvins, etc. I've owned sound the same, just...

Dual Rectifier. It changed the course of heavy music and most of the other Mesa amps since then are either a version of it (Trem-O-Verb, Rect-o-Verb, RK, Single, Triple, Roadster), or in response to it like the Stiletto which they billed as the compliment to the Rectifiers. The Marks are...

I bought my Dual Rec in '93, played it for a few years, then replaced it with a T-Verb combo because I wanted the built in reverb and tremolo. But unfortunately it got destroyed in a fire 2 years later. I liked the T-Verb a LOT more. I don't know if there are actual differences in the circuitry...

I've been playing 25 years and owned over 30 guitars and something like 20 amps. I SALUTE you if you've managed to survive a decade with a single amp :shock: !! Buy the LSS and keep the DC-5. You owe it to your other amp to give it a buddy to hang out with. And just think, you could run them in...
