I had a similar problem with the recto channel on my triaxis. When I called them, they acted like I was on crack and that it was a preamp issue. Then when I sent it in, they said a couple of internal parts had started to go. I don't know what else to say - if you checked the preamp (which I...

What are you settings on the Zack OD? I picked one up at guitar center and I'm not really experiencing what everyone else seems to say. I even spoke to one of my friends who has been producing metal bands forever and he said it's pretty much industry standard to run an TS9 or Maxon OD to give...

Maybe this is some sort of front and the rack setup comes nice and tightly packed with narcotics and small arms.

Ok... took a while, but I spent some time messing with the Duncan pickup booster I got a while back. I was using it in front of my dual rec. At first, I really couldn't notice much of a difference. Then I turned up the turned up the pedal a little more.... it sound good, but when I really...

I've owned a couple duals, a triple, and 2 different triaxis/2:90 set ups. Since you talk about noise, I will say I find the triaxis to be more noisy than the rectifier heads. A couple of times when I was having Mesa service the triaxis units, I complained about the noise. They acted like...

Is this serious??? http://cgi.ebay.com/Mesa-Boogie-Triple-Rectifier_W0QQitemZ270196929281QQihZ017QQcategoryZ43374QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Wow - where were you when I was in the market a few months back? That is a seriously nice amp and a more than fair price.... Before I settled for my 15xx, I had a bid in at right around 2k for 109 or something like that - and although it had the reverse cosmetics, it wasn't in nearly as good...

I definitely remember that feeling when I went over to a tube amp... and a dual rec was my first tube amp. Up until 1999 or so I had been playing through a Rocktron setup that I thought sounded amazing. I was super anal about having a brutal yet clear tone. I even had a 500 watt Rocktron...

What does everyone think of the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster for this purpose? I have one lying around somewhere... I should check it out. I got it with a bunch of other pedals a while back. Since I've been checking these forums, I'm curious to see about making my sound a little tighter...

I just got a full retube from Eurotubes: the E34L high gain kit. I hated it... sounded totally not aggressive. I went straight back to the groovetubes that were in the amp when I bought it. I was really shocked at how much the overall sound was lacking...... if I could do it again, I'd check...

I have a 1993 dual recto that I really like the sound of. But.... I've always wondered how a dc-10 stacks up to it. B/c the dc-10s are more rare, I haven't gotten a chance to play one. I have read some user reviews and I can't help but think I'd dig the sound. I mostly play heavy stuff, but...

A long time ago when the 1st Slipknot cd came out, I spoke with Mick at a show and he told me his sound was a Marshall JMP1 into a Mesa 2:90 power amp, I think. He also used the eq on some crappy Boss rack unit. I don't know if the old other guitarist played on that cd or if it was just Mick...

A lot of good input here. Up to here, for the most part, I have been a plug and play type player and didn't mess too much with different tubes. I need to mess around with the tons of tubes I have and find something that works for my sound. I'm always trying to find a middle ground between a...

How much of that do you think is attributable to the preamp tubes, the power amp tubes, and the rectifier tubes?

So I just retubed my dual rectifier with the JJ high-gain E34L kit along with GZ34's. I had GT EL34's and 12AX7's in there before and it sounded pretty good. But because that is how the amp came when I bought it, I figured I'd retube and and it would sound better. Well, I'm not sure what I...

Thanks, Clutch... actually, it's a 2 ch head, so that description is good. I would guess the Marshall is the same way, but you never know. I am sure I could also call Eurotubes for the info on that one. Yes, the Mesa manuals are like a novel sometimes.... the Marshall one was pretty scant. I...

I just got a kit from Eurotubes, and I realized I don't know what position is what as far as v1-v5. There are the 4 in a row and the 1 out front a little. Plus, one is covered using the metal covering. Do I read them left to right or right to left and what is that one out front? I also have...

Boof - do you mind listing some of the gear in there? Specifically, what's that above the rack wah? I am waiting to get my TA back from Mesa. I just got my 2:90 back yesterday. I bought a used setup, it had issues, I took it to a local Mesa authorized repair person who jacked it up ever more....

Turmoil - The Process Of - just about as heavy as it gets; absolutely brutal but still a full bodied tone. I think they're using rectifiers out of marshall cabs. Carcass - Necroticism - this guitar tone was so awesome because it sounded so gross but good. I wonder what they were running.... I...

Check out this recent thread on running 2 amps together: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=17839 I ended up going with the Switchbone for the 2 reasons that it got great reviews and it was intentionally going for a pedal-type option and wanted to get away from rack stuff. BUT, some of...
