Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the 2 channel triple rectos (I think its rev G) have a power tap on the transformer so i can get it changed to work on NZ power? (230 volts) There is a US amp for sale over here in New Zealand.

I currently play a Triaxis/2:50 setup through one side, and yse either a 5150 (or whatevers available) through another cab on the other side of the stage at gigs. This is really just for short breaks in songs where one guitar track drops out etc. Its not because I have to have 2 different...

Hi, wondering if anyone can help me with a question regarding a transformer swap. There is a 2 channel triple recto for sale over here in New Zealand but its wired for US power. Ive read a little bit about "export" transformers, but Im assuming this one doesn't have one. can anybody tell me...

One of these tread plate cabs has come up for sale but I'm unable to go have a look before buying, it's a bit far away. I just wondered if anybody knows if the treadplate down the side of the cab is placed on top of the regular tolex? I imagine its maybe just stuck to bare wood? I know it's a...

I own a VHT 2 90 2, which I use with a Triaxis. A friend of mine has the MESA 2:90which he uses with a VHT Valvulator preamp. Basically he is interested in a straight trade for the power amps. I gather there is mixed opinion as to which is better, and it may all be personal opinion but I'd like...

I am running about 5 stereo pedals into the loop of my Triaxis and am getting VERY mixed results. Sometimes it's totally fine, but we played a gig in the weekend and I SWEAR with everything set up the same, I get no signal at all if the fx loop is on. If it's off, I get everything fine. I just...

The other day I noticed one side of my Recto cab had died, as I usually use it in stereo. I finally got around to opening it up and have found a disconnected cable. My question is this-I'm not sure how to re connect it. It doesn't look like the usual solder job, there are points around the...

It looks like I have managed to blow one, maybe two speakers in my Recto cab. I wondered if anyone has ever tried mixing the Celestion G12B-150 with the V30 before. I ask this because I have been offered a pair of the G12s for 100 bucks, as opposed to buying a V30 new for 200 bucks each... What...

Having a play with my set up last night, I noticed that when not playing there is a lot more noise than normal, however I'm sure the night before I didn't have this problem. I have a couple questions, hoping you guys can at least clarify a few things for me. 1. As soon as I unplug the send from...

I've been having a look for info on this, and I must be doing something wrong, but having got a recently repaired Triaxis back from Mesa, I was using a couple off effects, namely a sonic stomp, and a mooer pitchbox ..... I know it has 2 returns for stereo, but I am only getting signal through...

I have a 50/50 which has been through some unfortunate scenarios as of late. At a gig the other week I was running in stereo with my mesa recto cab on one side and a Marshall 1960 on the other, half way through the set my amp developed a huge hum which was fixed when I unplugged the marshall cab...

I just received a used Triaxis, and from first power up, no setting has hardly any gain. I had first thought it was me not understanding the presets or something, but also took it to the local mesa stockists, who confirmed that there is definitely something wrong with it. I replaced all the...

A while back I bought a set of unopened Mesa branded 6l6's, just because they were cheap and I did have a Roadster head. I ended up putting EL34's in that tho anyway, but Now I have gone back to a 50/50 power amp, with 6L6's. Can I use this pair of mesa tubes and another pair of...say JJ's, if...

Hi, I'm running a recto pre into a 20/20, trying to run delay and chorus in stereo. Here's a rundown of what I have - Guitar into vol. pedal-wah-pog2-overdrive-freeze-amp. No problems there. But, in the fx loop of the recto Im plugging the input of a 5ch. Roadrage looper, into send, Loop1...

Just got a used 20/20 and am running it with a recto recording preamp. When I first plugged it in I noticed the left side was much quieter than the right side. I swapped the connections between pre to power amp, ie swapped left to right, and this seemed to fix it, which confused me because I...

I noticed a distinct "swell" in my volume the other day, which as of yet has not come back in the last week or so. Someone told me to try tapping the preamp tubes to see if they are microphonic, apparently if I can hear the tap thru the speaker then they are. Questions! 1.Preamp tubes are way in...

I'm looking at the manual for my Roadster as I write this, but I'm sure I'm missing something. It says to connect preamp signal to Roadster fx return... 1)should nothing be connected to send? 2)Also I wondered if I do this can I still use all my fx? I currently have a wah/vol pedal and a pog 2...

Hi all, scored myself a older model V twin (it only has 2 footswitch outs, 1 channel and one fx, so I think it's an older one). The new ones seem to have a whole lot more for external switching. I have this set up with a Mesa 50/50 and it sounds great for my first ever rack gear. Anyway, the...

I am running a bunch of pedals thru the loop in my triple recto, also a wah and octave in front of the amp. I have been messing round with an older Ibanez eq pedal. When it is in the fx loop it is awesome, when in front of the amp it hardly makes any difference when being adjusted. My problem is...

I have read a bit about this and the consensus I gather is that I adjust the send control? Problem is with that all the way up, the volume is still massively unequal...I have noticed that when the loop is off, the send increases the vol. anyway. I always thought this vol. knob was only for the...
