I dont use the pedal at all actually. The reason being, is it sucks the tone right out of my guitars. So that's a null point. 18v, yea, not a HUGE deal, but i mean it is kind of a wall wart-inconvenience. Also, I'm sorry about not searching, I've not been active in a long time and I just wanted...

Yea good info on the SLO. Didn't realize that. I tend to not crank the gain because when you have four guitar tracks and a solo track at the same time, things get fizzed out. I'm no stranger to the studio, I have bands coming in all the time, record my own stuff etc.. But sometimes my Dark...

I was showing off my new Dark Terror about a year ago to my cousin. He promptly went out and bought one. He was experiencing much the same as you were. Told him it was tubes. He finally got around to "taking it in" and they replaced some pre tubes and all is well. Most issues like that boil down...

But will adding an eq in the loop smooth out tone? Plus, my Boss EQ is hissy and sounds awful.. :/ Would've gotten the MXR offering, but that one had a funky 18v adaptor and I didn't want to mess around with that when all my other pedals have the typical Boss-style power adapters..

I know this is likely a weird question, but I'm looking for a smooth distortion tone much like in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpH4xDtzmWQ (SKIP to 1:34ish) I've never heard my rec do this, it still "bites" a lot. I think the main issue here is that the amp may be too bright and...

the amp was buzzing a bit but it wasn't very loud at all and i just chalked it up as normal operation. never was loud enough to cause any concern. I just hope that my warranty gets extended because of this. I'm really going to be pissed if the same thing happens down the road and it's out of...

I've found that the muff can be used effectively on channel one clean and pushed, channel 2 raw and vintage, but anywhere further in the gain chain than that would be overkill. mesa's have incredibly high gain and you really never need anything more to distort them. if you want a different...

it'll be going to the doctor on monday. The repair facility is in my city, actually, so I'm so so grateful for that! Will post up to let you all know. I just knew in the back of my mind that something was afoul when it just decided to stop working all of a sudden in the middle of a riff. My...

OK, so i replaced the Rectifier Tube, and both Power Tubes, got the same result. BZZ and no power plus ended up with a blown fuze. Seems like this is something more serious. What's Mesa's warrenty like? I don't want to have to send this heavy thing in to them and pay for shipping, wait, blah...

fuses blow no matter what I do. I tried taking the rec tube out and powering on, but it still blew the fuze. If I unpack these power tubes, I can't return them so i'm trying to get the amp to actually power ON before I take them out of the packaging. HELP ME! I think my amp is screwed!

would faulty power tubes cause the amp to not even turn on? I think I may have a couple laying around that I'll try..

So I just picked up a nice Sonset Beach 2x12 cabinet and proceeded to plug in. The cab is wired at 8ohms and my mesa is dropped to 50W. So I call mesa and they tell me that from the amp 4ohms into the 8ohm cab would be safe and even the prefferable thing to do. Everything worked well for awhile...
