It’s been awhile and I’ve made some changes, none of which my my wife is interested in, so I figured I’d post an update on the Internet. I recently sold my last Recto, bought a second TC-50 and picked up a used Ground Control/GCX. The first amp is setup pretty close to my ideal settings with...

I've had the ED since it came out (serial number 150). It's a good amp and I like it a lot, but it's never quite been able to be my #1 go-to amp. It was missing something and I could never quite put my finger on why. Turns out that something was the right overdrive... the Mesa Grid Slammer...

Picked up a gig playing bass. Needed an amp. Sold some things, bought an amp. Mesa D-800 and Subway 1x15. Sounds great. I plan on adding the 1x12 in a few months when I have more money.

http://www.mesaboogie.com/signal-management/buffers-line-drivers-line-balancing/index.html I'm actually pretty excited about these. I heard rumours awhile ago, and figured Mario being listed as a Mesa employee was a pretty good indication that they had something up their sleeves. Glad to see...

Anyone who plays lead on a Recto, I recommend checking out the Mesa Grid Slammer. I used to be one of those guys that would tell people that Recto's weren't that good for lead. I felt they lacked compression and the mids weren't quite right. I could never really achieve the singing sustain I...

Now that the JP2C is out.... How about a new Electra-Dyne? Three fully independent channels. And skip all the bulltshit about vintage tones... it's a f*cking sledgehammer. People didn't buy it to play lightweight covers of Cream... People bought it because it crushed skulls. It's a Rectifier...

I'm thinking of purging a bunch of unused gear and consolidating into a pair of amps; a head/cab, and a combo. The Roadster has become the centre of my sound. For a long time I thought I was a Mark convert, but then I'd plug the Roadster in again and realize where home actually was. I...

Did Mesa ever make a Traditional sized Slant/Straight cab?

Looking to boost a Recto, debating between the two.

Anyone compare these two?

I picked one of these up yesterday. I was looking for something to to use with my Electra-Dyne for leads. I figured that whereas most ODs that seem to work best with either a Fender or Marshall that Mesa would voice them to work really well with Mesa's. I was right. Before I wrote this I...

If you listen to the audio clip you can hear a harsh clipping while playing. The clip was recorded on channel 1, plugged straight into the amp with the loop bypassed. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37532735/Forum%20Stuff/Amp%20Clipping.mp3 Backstory... I first noticed that harsh clip on...

Yesterday I loaded up the Mark V with all the old Mesa Russian 2s (EHX 12AX7EH) I had (5). V1-4: Mesa Russian 2 (EHX) V5-6: Tung Sol V7: Mesa Russian 2 (EHX) The first thing that I noticed was that the bottom end was deeper and that there was more of it. Palm mutes sounded fuller and...

So... long story short, over the last few days my Mark V has been sounding darker and darker. I found myself constantly reaching for the guitar's volume and tone controls to make sure they weren't rolled off. I lost most of my top end and found myself repeatedly reducing the amp's bass while...

Most major cities I've lived in will have a company that builds road/flight cases. It'll save on shipping if you buy local.

I just want to get a feel for what people actually own. Feel free to explain. I only have 10 slots so I stuck with current production stuff. The poll is wide open. You can vote for multiple items and you can change your vote if you buy/sell gear down he road. Stick to stuff you currently...

I'm looking at getting back into bass again. I haven't had a lot of success either finding a band or putting a band together but it seems like there's always a shortage of decent bassists. All I currently own is a Godin 4 string bass with passive P neck and J bridge pickups. I sold everything...

Fired up my Mark V and a couple of riffs came out of nowhere. Hit record so I wouldn't loose them and I think the groove has potential. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/37532735/Song17.m4a

When Celestion rates their speakers they rate them conservatively knowing that people use them with tube amps that exceed their rated wattage. The AC30 has come with a pair of 15w speakers for decades, and even with certain non-master Marshall's that needed to be cranked many people have used...
