Hi Folks: I've never used the effects loop before that has a mix control. What is everybody doing as far as level. I've tried most of the knob range and I seem to like 50-75% with my current levels on my pedals. Do I cut all the levels ON THE PEDALS UP and use the mix control on the FX loop or...

I know this is a common question. What are the 112 combo players swapping out Black Shadows with these days? Please sound off with your experiences. I just bought a .50 caliber+ and won't be using half of its power..my back ain't what it used to be and I know the BS weighs at 15 lbs. I was...

I..AM..LOVING..IT! 70watts 8ohm. My BA is 38 max. A little heavier than the Neo Celestion Century Vintage I had, but warm, bass, and subdued icepick all over the neo. I'm not experienced with Greenbacks and Creambacks, but this is supposed to be a cross between the two. I've been playing it all...

They haven't made these for many years and they are quite hard to find.. don't miss out! http://www.ebay.com/itm/231134278194?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Questions: In regards to amp tone: 1. How does one preamp tube differ from the other in regards to tone? Is it plate voltage or gain value or just tube build? 2. If one preamp tube has more bass or more treble, how do I pick the tone I am looking for? 3. OR Does the placement of a preamp tube in...

I have searched and read looking for this subject for the past few days to no avail. I just re-tubed my BA 112combo. Here is my line-up: V1-Mesa SPAX7 V2-Mesa 12AT7 V3-Jan 12AT7WC V4-JJECC83s V5-Tung-Sol 12AT7 (balanced) PT-Mesa 6V6's/JJ EL84/JJGZ34 Rectifier The amp sounds good and I could...

Hi Folks! My Blue Angel 112 is almost unbearable to lug around. I am going to replace the MC-90 with a NEO-speaker (they weigh 3-4 lbs) There aren't many on the market currently, but I wondered who had experience on this forum with them. The Blue Angel is 38 watts. I play in a variety band and...

Hi Boogie-ites! :roll: I have a NAMM Blue Angel combo that I LOVE. I have been vassilating back and forth on power settings on gigs. I love the 18 watt 6V6 sound mostly, but it breaks up too early and I like the cleans from the second position EL84 or full on combo. I have been thinking about...

Hi Folks, I recently got a hold of a NAMM Blue Angel! I am selling my DC-5 to help fund it. It is on E-bay right now and only has about 1.5-2hrs left. (my bassplayer's music store is doing the auction for me) Lots of upgrades.. It has brand new Sovtek 6L6s, a preamp cocktail of various JAN, JJ...

Hi Folks, I'm a DC-5 convert, loved the amp, but the second channel wasn't used as I am a pedal board kinda guy. I have it for sale in a friends music store on consignment currently. I wanted something with less power and better cleans. My boogie friends kept telling me about the Blue Angel...

I just installed a Weber Chicago 8ohm/80w Ceramic. Will give it a review in a couple of weeks! Stay tuned! Btw, don't put the Celestion Century Vintage in this amp! It shaves off 10 pounds, but does'nt have any lows..breaks up too easily as well..(my opinion) Later :P

Hi All! Just wondering. I put new SEDs in my DC 5 about 1 1/2 years ago along with fresh preamp tubes. I play in a traveling showband and we do about 100 dates per year. The amp works great..however its way overpowered for what i do. My volumes hardly go over 3 on stage. is this helping to...

I don't know if I'm alone, but the MB swag is limited. I got the vintage brown t shirt last year and its great because its cotton, all of the other shirts are this thin stretch material thart looks horrible on larger folks like myself. The baseball caps are cheap and don't fit well and shrink if...

Hey Fivers or any DC clan, I noticed I have a short in my reverb cables. I was going to replace them and I was wondering whats with the small white wire and the larger diameter gray one. (grounding??)They both appear to RCA?? Is it okay for me just to go to Radio Shack and pickup 2 RCAs or do I...

Hey all. Just checkin my work after the spring cleaning. Btw, the Svet winged Cs sound great! But I did some preamp tube switching and currently have a GT 12ax7C (chinese) in V4. the reverb sounds fine, (almost toomuch, but more responsive than it was) but it made me curious. I know several...

Hey Fivers- Just marked a year and 1/2 with my DC5 and still LOVING this beast. We have a 2 week break before the spring and summer runs, so I decided to pull it off the truck and take it home for a good cleaning. (its dusty filthy from some of these fairs and parking lot gigs over the last year...

My work cut me off from the boogie board and had a bit of trouble getting set up at home. I have missed the chats and tips and tricks! I have been playing around with my pre-amp tubes to get lower gain/more clean headroom out of channel 1. I have put a Chinese GT12AT7 in V1 and a JJ 12AT7 in...

Hi all, been awhile for me..hope everyone is gigging and doing well. I have all JJs in my DC5 and I love the quietness and response..but I am finding the clean channel gets dirty too fast and my distortion is so over the top I can barely use it for the gig I'm in. Clean: I am able to turn the...

Hey all, I have posted on here fairly recently about eq issues. If the mid knob becomes a gain stage (adds hair) after 3 or 4..then what is the purpose as it relates to CLEAN? I have spoken about using the GEQ to make up any mid that I am unable to dial in..but which fader? I know I'm supposed...

Is it okay to crank pre and post gains to acceptable tone levels and THEN use the Master as sort of a "power brake" Logic would seem that the more gain I can get into the clean (making the pre tunbes work a little harder)(without blowing everyone off the stage) would increase the tonal pallette...
