I have a Heartbreaker combo that I want to turn into a head. Does anyone have a head cab that they would be willing to part with? Thanks

Those that know me know that I do very clean amp work. This is my personal amp that I am selling because I want to raise money to buy a piece of land. Mesa Formula Preamp Channel 1 - stock Channel 2 - Tremoverb Red channel circuit Channel 3 - Rectifier Red channel circuit There is a spare...

I've been looking for an open back or partially open back cabinet. I don't like closed back 4x12's unless I'm playing outdoors. Even then, it would have to be a pretty big place for me to use a closed back. I have an 80's Mark series 2x12 half back cab that is great, but it's not wide enough...

I'd like to see what is going on inside the TC. Does anyone have any pictures of the insides of the chassis?

Check out the Master Volume Mod thread, or the DC Mods threads. There is a resistor that is in parallel with your Output Volume knob. If the resistor is removed (or bypassed with a push/pull pot like my amp has), then the amp is much more tame. I think 6V6's would just take away a lot of the...

I didn't get the deal of the century, but..... I got a: Mark III Red Stripe/Wide Body 100 watt head w/Reverb 3/4 back Wide Body 1x12 cab DC-5b Combo For $1150 today! The DC needs a couple of preamp tubes The Mark needs some love - it has pretty low output They all need a good cleaning I...

The Rectoverb 25 is a rock solid amp. I used one for about a year gigging and it always worked! I sold it to a friend when I wasn't playing much and deeply regret it! It is very possible (as Bandit said) that something else was damaged when the power tube failed, or if someone was inside the...

:shock: Bandit.....You beat me to it! One thing to check is the channel select switch on the front of the amp. If you are using the footswitch and it does not change channels, the switch on the amp itself may be set wrong. That would eliminate one problem. A faulty tube will not affect...

Thanks jmusolino, I tried your settings this morning. I like them a lot! At lower volumes (it was 4:30AM, only spare time I have right now), I had to turn the Gain up to about 1:30 to get nice sustain. I'll try it at higher volumes this evening after work and see where I should put the gain!

I didn't even get to try it. I got to plug the ESP in for about 2 minutes..... Too much going on these days! I will definitely try this out sometime this week though!

:mrgreen: Thanks! I'll try it out tonight! I just got a new (to me) E-II Horizon NT in the mail too! Should be a fun evening.

Thanks! Can you share your settings?

I love playing in stereo! I have an old Rivera S120 stereo combo amp that sounds incredible. I use an Axe FX XL with it, but for FX only. I sing and play in a 3 piece, so every little bit of extra sound helps a lot. A good, cheap option would be to find an old Simil Satellite to use on the...

Sorry guys! This project had to take a back seat for a little while....... I will be restarting the website and the mod kits next year though. Sometimes life gets in the way of the fun stuff for me......

Put some EL34's in the amp Set to Tweed voltage, Curvaceous, 100 watts Crank it! I've got 6V6's in mine right now, but I think this amp really needs EL's to sound it's best.

There may be a Mesa tech in your area. The V's board is really tight! I've worked on Mesa amps for a lot of years. I wanted to mod my V slightly and wound up burning a Molex connector for one of the ribbon cables. I need a smaller diameter iron before I try that again! You might try looking...

Axe FX cannot change channels on the amp. It has no relays and cannot send midi PC messages. On the FX8...... I used the FX8 with my V for a little while. I'll probably start again this afternoon. I removed all FX from the amp because I wanted to see if I really liked the amp and wanted to...

Not sure about the getters. I can check them out later today. I used the V at practice yesterday. Just couldn't bond with it at all! I really liked some of the sounds I got before we started playing, but once the drums and bass kicked in, I couldn't stand it. We played for about an hour, I...

Not sure if you got this fixed, but it definitely sounds like it could be a tube issue. PM me if you need some help!

I'm always amazed at what a difference new tubes make. I just slapped a new set of tubes in my Mark V. I've been on the fence about this amp since I got it, but now I'm starting to see what the fuss is about. I did not use a 12AT7 in V4 or V6. I've never liked what they do to my tone. I did...
