Hey prody, Thanks for the kind words. I responded to your PMs and I hope you have fun with the settings I sent through. The kind of diad playing I was using in that clean clip, was used a great deal by masters like Curtis Mayfield, and of course, Hendrix. My clip was a take on the Poison...

Hi Random Hero, Sweet clips my friend. I like your style and you're an accomplished playa! Great tone too - who says Rectos can't play leads (early ones anyway :lol: ). You're G-Major sounds great too - do share the settings, I may well have an experiment with my G-Major. I've not tried a...

Hi Random Hero, Thanks for checking out the clip, and you're right - the reason I posted it was to highlight the tone. It reminds somewhat of the type of pushed sounds you get out of Class A EL84 based amps, and it makes me grin that I can pull such a tone out of my 6L6 Boogie. I'm glad you...

:wink: Thanks sombra. Keep on rockin' in the free world! :cool: Big smiles, Andy.

Hi Koprofag! Thanks for taking the time once again, buddy. :) Yet again I got less elbow room than we guitarists tend to prefer, :P but I won't complain, as I thought the guitar cut through quite nicely. I'm pretty sure the video team got a feed from the mixing desk coupled with some...

Thanks for taking the time to listen Rayder. :) I was indeed going for a very mid-heavy tone with lots of sensitivity to pick attack. I was actually using the F-50's lead channel with the gain rolled back. I was also using my trusty Dynacomp - here's a diagram of how my rig hangs together...

Hi sombra, Thanks for taking the time to listen. I'm sorry it wasn't to your tastes - can't please all of the people all of the time. :oops: I freely admit this isn't the flashiest example of my playing. I was actually responsible for the hook line for the song, which obviously features...

Hey friends, It's been a while since I posted a clip, and I've been meaning to share some more clips of the kind of live tones I get from my Boogie in my regular Praise & Worship gig, but I struggled to find the time. It was my birthday a couple of weeks back, and I thought it was a great...

Check out this thread over at HCAF for a wealth of information on integrating an analogue amp into a MIDI switched rig. I do it with my F-50 and my G-Major, and I couldn't go back to a less controllable set up. 8) The G-Major makes it easy, because it has two in built relays for external...

Hi JAZZGEAR, What TC Electronic mean is that the two relays can have 4 permutations: OFF-OFF, OFF-ON, ON-OFF and ON-ON. Whether those permutations map down to switching 4 channels depends entirely on the how the footswitch circuitry of the amp is wired. On the RoadKing, switching a single...

OK. The G-Major has TWO in built relays - so it can only switch two of the external inputs at the back of the Road King. You'll need a single Y cable connected to the back of the G-Major with the two mono jacks going into the Road King. If you want to control up to eight of the Road King's...

Hi barneyc4, One neat approach is to use the Recording line out straight into the tuner. You should simply need a normal guitar lead to make the connection, :) Big smiles, Andy.

IMHO, there's no "next step" in terms of tonal quality, only in terms of features, or different flavours of tone. The F-50 is a world class sounding piece of professional gear - don't let it's "entry model" Mesa positioning deceive you into thinking that more cash buys you better tone. It...

Sounds great! Good job! :) The F-50 sounds crunchy and thick! 8) Would you mind me linking to this in the Clip Archive in HCAF's F-series Lounge? Big smiles, Andy.

I've tried both the DC-10 and the Heartbreaker, and whilst fine amps, neither blew me away in the same way as the F-series. I'm a huge fan of both the F-100 and the F-50, and they both sound similarly stunning. I ended up with the F-50, and have been ravin' about it for well over three years...

Hi Scott K, You have a number of options, but you have to decide where you want to compromise... * If you want two amps into a single mono cab - then look at the various head switchers on the market (products from Radial and Axess have already been suggested). They are fairly expensive...

Yay! Congratulations barneyc4 on your new Boogie! Check out (and sign in whilst you're there) the F-series Lounge for lots of info on getting the most out of Mesa's stealth amp - including taking the edge off those bone-crushing volume levels to make the amp very appartment friendly. 8) Big...

Hi randalpinkfloyd, I'm afraid I only use passive guitars, but I do often use a compressor as a clean boost with my F-50, so I would hope that this hotter signal might be usefully similar. Here is one of my favourite settings for a spanky Blackface tone: (in o'clock settings) G:9 T:1.30 M:11...

Congratulations on your new F-50, barneyc4. :) If you haven't already discovered it, check out the F-series Lounge over at HCAF - an awesome resource for getting the most out of Mesa's stealth amp! 8) Big smiles, Andy.

Hi barneyc4, The reverb on the F-series is usable, but it is not as lush and warm as a nice Fender amp. On the plus side, the reverb never swamps the guitar tone, and thus never lets the guitar tone get lost in the mix in the way that a lusher type reverb could. Me? I tend to use reverb from...
