    Odd behavior from Trans-Atlantic...

    One thing that I've noticed is that my problem only seems to happen on the 25 watt settings...does that sound peculiar?

    Odd behavior from Trans-Atlantic...

    I did replace both power tubes the first time, but, there's nothing to say one of the new one's might not be bad, as well... Thanks for the help, fellas! I'll keep an eye on it. :)

    Uh, yeah... I know that.

    el-84 vs 6v6

    I've been using my Trans-Atlantic a lot lately and it uses EL-84's. I must say that I've become quite the convert. The 84's give me a really crunchy vintage "Marshall-esque" tone that I love using with an overdrive pedal. Prior to the TA, I was gigging with my Road King II and using the 6L6's...

    Odd behavior from Trans-Atlantic...

    I was playing the other day and I noticed the TA-15 getting quieter and then starting to fade away. My first thought was a power tube as this has happened once before. That time an EL-84 had given up the ghost...replaced it and it was fine thereafter. This time, after the drop in volume, It...

    FX Loop mod for Trans-Atlantic?

    Thanks! I appreciate the explanation. It's not a big enough deal to risk the safety of the amp, anyway... :D

    Transatlantic - 1st Post-Gig Impressions

    I'm a bit late to the discussion, but, I thought I'd share my experience, for what it's worth. I've been gigging the past four weekends with the TA-15 and I'm at a point where, if it were a woman, I'd marry it...no joke! It's the sound I've been hearing in my head for years. I run my Les Paul...

    FX Loop mod for Trans-Atlantic?

    Does anyone know if there are any plans for an FX loop mod for the TA-15 or is it even possible? I absolutely L-O-V-E my TA-15, but, I'd sure love a loop, as well...just asking. :D

    G Force Whammy?

    Hi all, Has anyone ever set up a TC Electronic G Force (not the G major) as a whammy effect? I currently use a G Major w/ my Triaxis and 2:90 mainly because of the dedicated whammy and boost functions. I have a few QC issues with the G Major and want to upgrade to the G Force, but, still...

    im building a rig for the first time

    I'd make sure you try it out thoroughly before you buy it, if that is a possibility. I tried a POD Pro with a power amp and couldn't get a decent sound out of it. Of course, that was the first generation of POD Pro and a Peavey Classic 50/50 power amp. Any Mesa power amp would probably give you...

    Triaxis/G Force combo

    Hi everyone! I'm hoping to get some expert opinions on using a G Force with a Triaxis. I recently bought a Triaxis w/ a Stereo 2:50 and I want to get a great effects unit. I'm very impressed with what I've heard of the G Force (I've tried the G Major and didn't care for it much). If anyone has...

    Possible output tube problem?

    I just bought a Triaxis and a Stereo 2:50 power amp. I started having a problem where the amp would suddenly lose gain and volume. At first, I thought this was caused by a faulty George L's cable. Later, while I was playing, I noticed the volume fading in and out. I'm guessing it's a tube...

    Volume trouble: Triaxis and G-Major

    Hey Hoschi, I know I'm getting to the table late on this topic, but I experienced the same thing with my Road King and a G-Major. I read both manuals front to back and found that the Road King can experience volume drop when using certain lower dollar effects or processors in the loop. I called...

    G-Force in the house

    The G Major sucked tone and volume out of my Road King. Plus, what sound I did get was very sterile. I haven't tried the G Force, but I'm sure it's outstanding. It oughtta be for that price. I'm currently using a Rocktron Xpression and it works and sounds awesome! It's very stripped down...

    External switches, MIDI and multi-fx

    I use a Ground Control Pro and GCX, as suggested by a Mesa tech, to control my Road King and outboard gear via the external switches and it works perfectly. I've never had a problem with it and it's quite easy to setup and program. I also use a Rocktron Xpression with it, as well. It's the best...

    Power fade on Heartbreaker

    Do you let it warm up on standby or do you just turn it on and go? It sounds like it just isn't getting enough time to warm up properly. I have a Road King and we work all the time, as well... Mesa warns against leaving amps in the extreme cold and, if you must, give the amp time to warm to room...

    Road King rig - What to use with it?

    I have a Road King combo and a 4x12 Standard Recto cab. I've been using a Ground Control Pro with the GCX unit, both made by Digital Music Corp. It controls ALL of my RK functions as well as my rackmount effects. It's very easy to setup, program, and use live. Plus, It's built like a tank. I've...

    Sometimes we all need to mic... Suggestions?

    The e609, as you know, is designed to rest flush against the grill of the speaker cabinet. I have a Road King Combo that sits on a 2x12 Rectifier extension cab. I put a 2x2 under the combo so that it tilts back to the angle of a slant face 4x12 cab. The mic does sit better that way but still...
