This is usually a preamp tube issue. Does flipping the speaker mute switch do anything? Dom

I don’t have any personal experience with it, but the Badlander looks to me like it’s more than just it’s sound/tone that sets it apart from the last generation of Rectos, it’s designed as a ‘players’ amp, straightforward 2-channel layout non master volume amp with zero ‘tone frills’ like...

A bad power tube is a leading cause for blown fuses. Here’s an older video from Mesa on amp trouble shooting, blown fuses start at about 2:13. Dom

My days of regularly moving Recto 4X12’s are over. They are my favorite cabs without a doubt and hopefully I’ll get the random occasion to break them out. I’m just tired of wrestling those beasts. Yup, 2x12’s fit in vehicles easier too. They also take up less space in a stereo setup. I don’t...

That has always been their stance. While I’m not going to get into the tone aspect of it, there is a measurable difference in plate current among the colors, it doesn’t seem narrow to me. Dom

Why couldn’t they make the diagonal 2X12 the same width as the vertical slant 2X12? It would make a perfect bottom cabinet for the vertical slant 2X12. Dom

My point was about the simplicity of turning one knob when needing to turn down (or up) vs having to rebalance multiple channels. Adjusting stage volume is not an uncommon senario at a gig, especially when room size changes from show to show even when you’re not mic’ed.

Right after that thumbs up you get your channel fader turned down LOL. At least that’s what I did when hosting a show and dealing with a ‘rock star’.

That’s fine until the FOH tells you to adjust your volume and you have to either guess on the other 2 or 3 channels or piss off the sound man while you fiddle with all your volumes. It’s much easier to just turn one knob and still have balanced output from all channels.

I prefer the global output control as I use all the channels on my amp. Once the channels are balanced and set to unity gain with the FX Loop effects it’s nice to have just one volume control on the FX Loop return. I’m bummed that the newer amps do not have the global output control.

Welcome to the forum. What are your plans for the amp? Bedroom, occasional jam with a drummer, regular gigs? I’ve never played the TC-50, but I’m not usually a fan of the 50W version of any amp. I get to play at band volumes a lot, and I feel that the 100W amps give more headroom with clean...

I have a Mesa Stiletto Deuce II, a Marshall DSL100, a Yamaha TH10 (love that thing), a Behringer Acoustic amp, a Behringer V-Amp pro and an Avid Eleven Rack. Been through a bunch that I didn’t keep too. Gone but not forgotten: Mesa MarkIII head (first Mesa amp, wish I still had that one)...

While I am very curious how they would sound together a stereo rig is enough to deal with for now, and I don’t need the G.A.S. encouragementment LOL. Dom

Thanks Bandit. I’ll have that Roadster forever. It’s a great amp that can cover a lot of ground. I’ve always regretted selling my 2001 Triple Recto, went through a bunch of amps until I found the Roadster in 2007 and had been playing it steady until last year when I got more into the TC. I...

I found my Roadster to be more ‘tubby’ than flubby LOL, and as long as I had the amp up at very loud levels it was not too bad for rhythm work, but the sub-harmonic content made lead work a bit too mushy. The low end drone would kill the sustain in slower melodic lines and natural harmonics. I...

I guess it was only a matter of time…. That doesn’t look like a Celestion speaker to me LOL

Have you tried an EQ in the loop yet? Rogue mods to the amp can devalue it, EQ pedals can always be returned or used elsewhere. Working without a schematic can cause more problems than it fixes. An EQ changed my TC-100 from a practice/closet amp into my A-Rig… Dom

Nice rig. I’m a Voodoo Labs fan as well, great gear. Been using the same G-Major, GCP and GCX for decades. Dom https://boogieforum.com/threads/stereo-tc-100-rig.87239/

Working time, comes apart easy with heat and moisture (steam), and dries very hard and solid. Works great to glue in frets, set necks, and attach fretboards to neck bodies, all things you might be removing someday.

Titebond makes great glues, I use the original for interior projects and II for anything outside. I use their hide glue for fine indoor furniture as well as guitar repair / lutherie work. Never found a need for the III. Dom
