If I set it up with a volume pedal, or any other form of passive attenuator prior to the MiniRec's loop return, I am not entirely sold that would solve the problem. The level of the loop send on the TA30 is different between channels. The top boost channel has a hot send and a padded down...

Is there any simple way to add a master volume to the power amp, short of adding an external attenuator like Bad Cat Unleash? I've been trying to find a way to run my Mesa TA30 and Mini Rectifier together in stereo using the effects loops for some time, to no avail. I really want to use the...

So here's Trent from Mesa's reply: The issue that you are encountering is not that the amp has a problem but that it isn’t designed to be used in the way that you are attempting – specifically the TA-30. Because of the two different types of circuits in Ch1 and Ch2 of the TA-30, the Send...

So things just got better/worse. I just replaced the loop tube in the TA30, and now the amp just sings. But if I'm hearing this correctly, the loop send from the TA30 is hitting all of my stereo effects really hard, and the return level is very low compared to the MiniRec. The consequence is...

No change in noise when the amps are connected together. I just ran another test. I pulled everything out of both loops, grabbed my Supernatural reverb pedal, and ran it mono through both amps. No problems with the MiniRec, performed as it should. With the TA30, it was craziness. The amp...

I am switching using the amp's foot switch. I'd love to believe it's a pedal problem, but I get the same results when I use only my Supernatural through the loops and avoid all of the Strymon stuff.

I'm running a stereo rig with 2 Mesas, a TA30 and a MiniRec. My pedal board is a bunch of fuzz, boost, and OD pedals into a Diamond Halo Chorus, which splits stereo into the amp inputs. From there, I run the effect sends from both amps into a Strymon Mobius, Timeline, and Big Sky, then stereo...

It looks like the problem is specific to the TA30. I'll explain in a thread in the Atlantic forum.

Hopefully this won't violate any posting rules, but this is the response from Mesa directly to my question on another forum: Me: Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm still wondering about the TA15 loop. Is it possible to add one to this circuit? Not possible to get Mesa to do it, but possible...

I loved the TA15 when it first came out, as it pushed all of my buttons except for the effects loop. I picked up a TA30 combo when they were first released, and owned it for about 2 weeks before something in the loop switching blew up. It's replacement had a similar problem, causing me to bail...

I tried putting a noise gate in the loop, and it didn't seem to make much of a difference. It cleaned up the input signal a bit, but the elevated noise floor persisted. I called Mesa yesterday, and they had no good ideas for me. One of their techs thought that it couldn't be an amp problem if...

I'm getting the same issue with my Mini. With the loop switched off, dead quiet. With an extremely high quality cable plugged directly from send to return, also dead quiet, with a barely perceptible hum if I drape the cable over the output transformer. The same result with an identical cable. I...

I had a similar problem. Several variations of that theme, to be exact, over several different amps (see my earlier posts). Ultimately I was forced to accept that the loop design, particularly with the red channel, was absolute bollocks. Mesa refused to admit having ever heard of the problem...

Do you think there is a point in replacing the loop tube?

I am afflicted with a strange buzz from my MiniRec effects loop. I chased this for a long time assuming it was a problem with my outboard (HD500, several other pedals), but after trying every possible combination of cables, power, and configurations, I ultimately tried taking a 6 foot cable and...

Like the title says, has anyone managed to create a loop mod for the TA15?

I just returned my third Transatlantic 30. If they ever fix all the issues related to the buzzing loop on the gain channel, I will happily buy a 4th one, as I absolutely loved the tones of that amp, alas. So I have just brought home a Mini Rectifier for an extended audition. While it lacks the...

Nothing?

I'm on my second TA 30, and about to bail on the project. I love the sounds of this amp, but it is starting to make me question my sanity. The first one had a dead effects loop. Back to the store for the second one, which was fine for about a week, then started t demonstrate the same problem. On...
