Hey Mad Scot take it easy with sombra, the guy is just trying to help you here. Even if you don't understand his train of thought that doesn't make him deserving of offense. English is not his native language (mine either) so sometimes it makes understanding him a little harder but I think...

I didn't mean that type of pedals. I think tubes provide enough compression for my distorted sounds and just use a touch of it with my cleans. I was refering to OD/Dist/Boost type pedals that can raise your signal enough (and/or add a little distortion of their own) so you can hit your TA...

You have one nice guitar there buddy. With nice pickups to boot. I guess your problem is not pickups. I have a BL XL-500 myself in one of my guitars and it really cooks! The Nuno comes with L-500 if memory serves me right. Well, one thing you can do is talk to all your guitar playing friends and...

What kind of guitars/pickups you have? Maybe you just need stronger/different pickups to take you where you want to go.

"no I don´t need a booster, I need something like a ts9dx with more guts" Then you should try something like a Boss Blues Driver or their OD-3 pedal. They'll give you a whole lot more gain than the TS9DX.

Hi Fatboy. If you just want more gain out of the TA but no tonal change just go for a clean boost pedal. I got very good results when I had my TA with a Sparkle Drive with the mix knob set to clean and the volume knob set close to max. But there are a whole lot of clean boosts in the market...

Talking to me Fatboy? :?:

The Gmajor has an output level option in the menu, make sure that it is set to as high as it can go, otherwise it is just attenuating your output.

Fatboy, are you looking for a TONE change or a GAIN change? Got a couple of advices depending on your answer. Merry Xmas everyone.

No, you can't do that. The behringer DI only taps the incoming signal as the manual says, it doesn't provide a load for it. The input impedance for the tap must be several megohms to insure it affects the sound of the power amp as little as it can and thus doesn't present a suitable load to the...

The gforce has intelligent pitch shifter, more levels of parameters, overdrive (sucks big time) and a few other commodities. Also the gforce is reputed to have better converters than the gmajor, but of course it all depends on your ear's ability to hear the difference (and your eqipment to...

Do all your power tubes light up? In the case of the tube with the broken "pole" it may lead to a leak of vacum ( I know, I know, how the hell can you leak vacum?!). What i meant to say is that the integrity of the vacum of the tube might be compromised. Do you have your cab connected to the...

In fact 20 watts more is very little extra volume. The difference is mainly the configuration of the output section, in other words, the way the tubes are designed to work and thus sound. Twice the volume is 6db. But to achieve twice the volume you need ten times the power, as another poster...

Well, IMHO, the MT-2 sounds like an improved version of what it has always been, a POS, not doubt the Strategy is helping a lot here. The second clip (B in B ) doesn't sound bad at all! Of course, it's definetively a Marshall sound so you have to like that kind of sound to appreciate it ( I do)...

Is it EL84s or EL 34s? I expect it to be EL34s, that is more in line with 50/50 watts of power. EL84s are known for having less low end than regular octal type power tubes. I don't mean it has NO low end, just that it is less than the big tubes.

I agree that the TA is head and shoulders above the JMP-1 in the tone department, but what I don't agree is that is the worst preamp around. First of all you have to like the sound of that family of amps or you'll never be happy with it. And second it is very easy to dial a bad sound with it. I...

Fatboy, sorry I can't acomodate you at my home, it's a very small space for my wife and I already! But don't let that stop you from coming down here for vacations, I'm sure you'll have a great time. One question about pedals and the TA for you all guys: Do pedals work ok in the loop of the TA...

Certainly things has gotten a little out of hands here in the last few posts! :lol: The spanish comments to Fatboy were not meant to offend anybody (sorry if they did), just letting the guy know there's somebody here who speaks his language too. Think of it as trying to be friendly with...

Hey buddy, cool down! I respect your opinions and experiences regarding the ADA. My point is that you're dismissing the ADA too quickly. Now I know you've been an ADA user for years, but the fact that you've found something that works better for you doesn't mean the old gear is all of a sudden a...

Fatboy are you sure you're talking about an ADA unit? I admit it doesn't sound dead on like the amps it claims to emulate, but in no way it sounds synthetic! Besides being the first programmable and MIDI capable tube preamp it always ran its tubes in high voltage configuration, which helps the...
