This is a little specific, but has anyone had any luck tracking a good high gain tone with a dc-5's direct out? If so, would you mind sharing your settings? I'm competing with my buddy's Kemper for fun. I know it's probably impossible.

Stereo Preamp. I've had some other issues with the loop. Every once in a while when I'm not running anything in the loop one of the channels will drop out. It doesn't drop out entirely but the bass frequencies disappear and the volume is cut big time. As I understand, it's because the loop is in...

Has anyone put a tuner (I guess specifically and Boss TU2) in the effects loop and had issues with the signal not muting while tuning? Is it a bad idea to put the tuner in the loop?

My Studio Pre produces a very noticeable noise. It's a low tone and sounds like ground hum, but I've taken measures to ensure I don't have a ground loop. I run it into a fifty/fifty. The noise stops when my preamp is off. I've tested my tubes. Could a cap job possibly cure my problem? Full...

I use a Studio Pre with an old fifty/fifty that is deep modded. The other guitarist in my band uses a Single Rect-o-verb Solo. Both of us use Mesa 4x12's. The Studio's gain is deceiving. A side by side comparison with a rectifier would make you believe that the studio doesn't have the gain to be...

I've noticed the same thing with my studio. The amp just sounds better without the OD's I've played with in the past. In what way did a cap job improve your studio? I'm preparing to have mine done and I'm pretty excited to hear it.

My guitar tech tested the tubes in his shop with both of his state-of-the-art testers. The EL34's in it tested good but far from new, so I put in a set of mesa 6L6's I have that test better than the brand new JJ's he had in his shop. Still didn't change. I've tried both bold and spongy settings...

I recently grabbed a Tremoverb head. As I understood, it's supposed to have the dual rec modern gain channel. I also have a Studio Preamp, and had borrowed a buddy's single rec solo head for a while, and, in comparison, my modern red channel gain seems awfully fuzzy and lacking sustain. The bass...

4 celestion v12 60's. Sounds amazing and the grill is awesome. Some scratches on the back panel, but nothing that even breaks the tolex. I have the casters for it but they obviously aren't in the pics. https://post.craigslist.org/manage/3883345001 If you are remotely near Wichita and want to...

Something is wrong with side "A" on my studio pre. I don't get any bass frequencies. Side "B" sounds normal and thick. Also, in standby, side "A" is still audible while "B" is silent. I've taken all of the steps to rule out an issue with my power amp or speakers. Anyone, had this happen and know...

I've had the same problem with my studio+fifty/fifty rig. I've found that running the master volumes lower and the output levels higher helps quite a bit. Location will affect it. My concrete basement is the worst. At the risk of blaspheming, I think it's a mesa preamp thing. A shielding issue...

combo or the head?

Sold?

Thanks again.

Thanks for posting pictures of your work. This thread is about the only place I've found such detailed information on this mod. I'm considering having mine done. At the risk of asking a stupid question, are those 2.7k resistors .5W?

I'm just starting to learn the in's and out's of tube power, so I apologize but most of it is over my head. I've been given conflicting advise about replacing the 6L6's in my Fifty/Fifty. I'm interested in a set of TAD 6L6-GC STR's. I've heard that replacing the Mesa tubes with any other brand...

I have a Mesa Thiele with the original specs and an evm 12L and I can't wait to have another for my stereo effects rig. Have you guys run accross these? Tested them out? Paired them with a Mesa Thiele? I couldn't find a current thread for these cabs, and I would really like to know how these...

I forgot to mention, it has JJtesla tubes right now.

I played for years with the typical guitar--->effects--->head(<--->effects in loop)--->4x12 cab. It took a good amount of time to set up, took up too much stage space, and required a lot of footwork. Everyone knows missing a pedal or stepping on the wrong pedal in a gig can be like stepping on a...
