Welcome indeed! I have a Mark IV and a Nomad, along with a TA-30. My favorite? Whichever one I am playing at the moment! :cool:

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the club! I've played nothing but Mesas for years. My favorite one? Whichever one is powered up and plugged into! :cool:

Welcome indeed! Nice choice.

I don't know enough about amp internals to tell you much. I know on mine, the treble is not nearly that aggressive. When I have had questions about my Mesas, I called them directly. Most of the time, they have been able to answer my questions. It may be an option for you.

I have used it from time to time, but not on a regular basis. For what I play, I like it without it. With it, it does give it more pop and juice, but it also brings in a lot of noise.

Never played the 55. Mine is a 45 1x12. I don't use channel 3 a whole lot. But, channel 2 gives a thick, juicy tone that I like a lot. Channel 1 has some really nice clean tones. I wish there was a way to take channel 1's "pushed" tones and replace channel 3 with them. Lol. My Nomad is a lot...

Which side of the amp do you find to be the issue? Using the Vox side in cut mode can ease the treble saturation. On the other side, I have not had a treble issue per se. On both sides, I set the treble about half-way. And, dumb question, but, when you say 7:00, are you facing the amp, or...

Hope you like your TA-30. I have one - one of my three Mesas. And, welcome to the zoo.

Welcome to the wing! :cool:

Welcome! I had a 5:50 for a while, but not a 5:25. It was a great amp, but covered a lot of the same ground my other Mesas did.

Yeah. I haven't noticed it on mine. I posted about it hoping someone would see it and say something like "Oh yeah. it's true when ____" - and the scenario would match the OP's.

You probably already know this. But ... my Nomad manual says the footswitch will turn reverb on/off for all channels, but with one caveat: NOTE: When the Reverb Footswitch is used to disengage the Re- verb, a small amount of wet signal can still be heard. To completely remove the Reverb from...

I went a different route. I cabled the amp input into my patch bay. Switching amps is pretty easy. For amp output, I bought a de-Leslie amp speaker switcher. This gives me the option of running the amp output into a PS-2 in addition to other cabs. Nice work on your setup, though. Impressive...

Mine is a 45. I am like @RyanTandy, I don't use any drive pedal on it because it has the gain and tone I want. Channel 2 is where I spend 90% of my time.

By your post, am I to understand channel 1's master works fine? If it doesn't, you may want to check the 12ax7 for "effects send" (that's what the channel masters have in common on my Rev2 Mark IV). I'm not big at all on amp internals. But that would be one external that I would check.

Will the "Mode select" switch on the back panel switch channels effectively?

I have a 45 1x12 combo. I've had it for quite a while and will not get rid of it. The take on Nomads is people either like them or hate them (at least, that's what I have seen). I've had other Nomads which I did not like (45 4x10 for example). The one I have is a keeper. Channel 2, mid-gain, is...

I have a Nomad 45. Like you said, once you learn how to dial it in, it is a very nice amp indeed. Mine is partial to by SG. 8)
