Why not look into a THD hot plate to reduce the output volume of the amp while still driving the amp to get the sound you want? From what I've read they do little to color the tone, whereas the Marshall Power Brake kills tone bigtime. They have these in 8 ohm, 4 ohm, and 16 ohm. It wouldn't...

I thought it was something that needed to come off once they were placed. Maybe I should put them back on? It was weird since out of the 5 preamp tubes I got only 2 of them had those sleeves on it so I had no idea what they were. Also, I got 3 packs of 6L6 duets from Mesa and all of the tubes...

I was told on the phone yesterday with Mesa Boogie that you could take the last two power amp tubes out of the rig BUT you need to also take one of the Rectifier tubes out as well if you do this!! It doesn't matter which Rectifier tube but one has to come out. As for the power amp tubes spots...

I've got my NS-2 in front as well and have really thought about moving it to the effects loop instead but am not sure what that will do. It seems as though "cleaning" the guitar BEFORE it goes into the head would defeat the purpose but so many times using the effects loop drastically changes...

Thanks yet again for another helpful post. I'm back after some different trials. I set the amp to DIODE and BOLD bypassing the Rectifier tubes and really didn't get much of a difference. There was a little boost in the gain but still nothing like before. I went ahead and changed all my tubes...

Thanks so much for the help. I will try these options and see if this helps bypass those tubes. I have two mesa cabs, one rectifier 4x12 and another traditional cab. I really only use one of them live and another for studio work and always use the 8 ohm setting into the 8 ohm input on the...

about 6 months ago, a night before a big show here in Richmond, Virginia, my Mesa triple rectifier wouldn't turn on. I've only had it but a year and a half and bought it brand new from a store locally. I had just practiced with it not more than 4 hours earlier but the amp wouldn't make any...
