I don't pretend to know much about this, but: Normally Mesa runs the power tubes cold or cold power tube or something to do with the bias...resulting in a very clean power section, where all gain is from the preamp. I wondered, what if I ran HOT power tubes or tubes that don't run cold. Would...

I have two Tremoverbs and run them in stereo, while using Strymon stereo pedals in the loop. To get the cleans as clean as I want them and keep rehearsal volume levels at a good usable point (loud), I set both channels to be level with each other and then use the Loop Active Master (LAM) to...

Which one do you prefer and why?

I want to try the donut thingy for speaker beam or dispersion etc. and need to get the grill covering the speaker off. Has anyone done this with a Tremoverb, and can share how and pics if you have them. Thanks...I will share my results of on/off axis sound for near/far field.

Looking to replace power tubes in my two Tremoverbs. I currently run one with SED =C= 6L6 and the other with the same, but EL34s. I love the EL34s. Time to swap...anyone used Mesa's current offering?

So I recently watched some Friedman videos...most specifically the BE-100 and Dirty Shirley. I also watched countless Henric Hermansson videos where he rebuilds the Laney and Simms-Watts PAs. Here is my take away. This is the tone I have been after. It is, to me, a vintage, vibe, groove, with...

Tremoverb is acting odd. I strum the guitar and then palm mute all strings to silence them. The amp produces a low hum, almost like fan or rumbling noise and then stops. I continue with the strumming and palm muting and inspect the power tubes. All four look good and do not react to a...

Do I clone Orange to Red? Or, do I clone Red to Orange? Or, do I not clone. It seems that cloning Orange to Red has more headroom...resulting in what seems to be a cleaner clean. I have change my setting from spongy to bold and from tube to silicone diode and that too, seems to make a...

I recently looked online at the website and got the impression there have been some upgrades to the Lonestar. I tried to stay away from this as, I have two Tremoverbs, and can't afford another amp, but I could not stay away. For some odd reason I thought it was discontinued. What are the...

Which is more iconic or of more value to the community? Is a mint Tremoverb worth more than a mint Lonestar 100 watter? I am just wondering, because the Tremoverb in mint condition is harder to find and according to the members is a very distinctive amp among the rectifiers. And yet the...

Please forgive me for this blasphemy. I have two Trem-O-Verbs and now I really want a pristine clean amp for my cleans. What are your recommendations? Fender Vox ?? I want a 2x12 combo and I love the Fender sound for it's natural, earthy, organic, full, bubbly, chimey, bell like, pristine...

What should I know about this channel and how is it different from the Hi-Gain selection, which is on the same channel. I get that the voicing is different...maybe. I had the gain channel selected and the gain was at about half way. Something told me to select the Blues mode. It was very...

I have two Tremoverbs. I would like to add to these. Here is what I am looking for. I want pristine cleans. I can always kick in the BB preamp for overdrive or just use the gain channel if I get a Mesa. So in other words is there a Mesa that has this capability...pristine cleans and a gain...

I just watched a concert on Paladia and it was a Rock...something or other recorded in 2012. Soundgarden played and I remember hearing that the guitar player used two Trem-O-Verb combo amps so I stuck around to check it out. Sure enough he had two of them and then he had two other Mesa heads...

After a disappointing conversation with a representative from RS Guitarworks I am less than impressed and not convinced about the "super pot" Has anyone used these over priced pots made by CTS? Can anyone really say that hands down it is worth my time and trouble to make this change from the...

What year did Carlos start playing Mesa? What was the amp? TNX

I have two Tremoverbs and run my TC GMajor in the FXLoop, which have been modded to series. Over time it seems that I have to increase the "mix" to get more delay etc. There is no discernible drop in tone or volume if I bypass the loop, but it appears that I have to up the mix levels to get...

How does Nuno get his tone. Amp? Pups? Fingers? EQing? He has this clean overdrive that is very articulate and not hi-gain it seems. Yet, he has very sensitive response it sounds like. He also has this unbelievable neck single coil sound that is trebly, bassy and very fast or responsive and...

I have two Tremoverbs now. I aspire to play like Nuno, Timmons, Vai and Greg Howe. I certainly don't come close, but would really love to have that tone. I get real close and am happy with what the Tremoverbs do for me...BUT. Would I dig a Lonestar? I would want to put it thru a 4x12 like I...

Has anyone got this? I think for the price it would be a good project guitar. I am thinking of getting one and upgrading hardware, pickups, pick guard, etc. What are your thoughts?
