Any GSP1101 owners know how you can set the unit to boost volume for solos? Assuming the 4CM config and always using the External Preamp (that of my Marshall head) I need to be able to switch to a patch or engage something within a patch to get a little extra volume. Since you can't place the...

Selling my 3ch Dual Rec and Oversized 4x12. Both work and sound great, but I gotta go Marshall with the new band and material we are covering. The head has been modified by JerryP of FJA Mods. It has a new Mercury Magnetics Transformer installed and some minor circuit mods to add some sparkle...

When I recently had my 3ch DR modified by JerryP at FJA Mods I asked him to investigate why there seems to be an affect on tone when you have the Loop engaged in some fashion as opposed to completely bypassed. Many agree that the tone degrades a bit when the Loop is on (I am in this camp). He...

I would like to put my chorus pedal in the loop of my 3ch DR. My idea was to set the FX loop to channel 1 and keep the chorus on. That way when I go to the channel 1 it is already engaged and I save a foot tap. FX button on the Big Foot would be off in this scenario. This works fine, but then...

Anyone have experience with both? I have a Std Recto cab and play either my 3ch Dual Rec or 5150II through it. Definitely sounds huge and I like it for the most part. **** thing is really big though and I suddenly find myself thinking I should trade up for a cab that will actually fit in my...

This is my first time trying to record and post clips like this. I don't think this is necessarily going to showcase the improvements Jerry made to this amp, but I will post and see what you guys think. Open to suggestions for getting better recordings. Chain is: PRS Swamp Ash into Furman pedal...

My 3ch Dual Rec is back from being modified by JerryP of FJA Mods. -Mercury Magnetics OT -Circuit mods to tame fizz and liven up clean channel -Bias mod The Bias pot is installed inside the chassis and will require pulling the chassis from the shell to get to it. The amp is now running with...

I am taking my 3ch DR to FJA Mods tomorrow. He is going to do some mods to the tone to help the clean channel a bit and lower the fizzy/buzzyness in the gain. Probably what I am expecting the biggest difference to come from will be the upgrade to a Mercury Magnetic Output Transformer. Building...

Well I just got back from a gig. It was an outside benefit concert w/6 bands to raise money for a family that had a 3yr old and her Grandmother burned in a house fire. It turned out to be in the mid 40s when we went on. I was worried about this going in and playing in cold weather is...

I have had my 3ch DR for about 4 months now. I have tried a lot of different settings and tube combinations (pre and power amp). I play modern rock from Foo Fighters to a little heavier like Seether. I am the lead guitar player in our band and our singer plays 2nd guitar on 75% of the songs...

I just put a Duncan Distortion in my PRS and the signal is extremely weak. I plugged into my DR on a gain channel and it was like almost no signal was getting there. It was enough to hear something and the tuner did pick it up. It is a PRS Swamp Ash so it has a hotrail single coil in the...

I have a '99 PRS Swamp Ash Special. I can't remember the PRS pups that came in it, and I am pretty sure the current production SASs are loaded with different ones. Anyway, I think the original pups are more suited for blues and classic rock. They have a mellower more vintage vibe to them...

A local guy has a Road King he may be selling. I'll actually be able to check it out before deciding to buy it, but thought I would get some input here until then. I currently have a 3ch DR. I have been experimenting with it for over a month as far as settings and different tubes. I have it...

Using a Bias-rite and Fluke multimeter I got the following: SED 6L6 tubes installed for all tests 6L6 bias select/Bold/Tube Rec = 22.2mA 6L6 bias select/Bold/Silicon Rec = 26mA EL34 bias select/Bold/Silicon Rec = 50mA 6L6 bias select/Spongy/Silicon Rec = 20mA I should have tested more...

So as jbird pointed out to me in another thread, having the FX loop on does compromise tone a bit. I do not need the FX loop to actually run effects in, but would like to have it on to utilize the solo feature. So I am wondering, if the loop is modified to series would it help any? Or is the...

I was not too pleased with the sound of my 3ch Dual last night at practice. It just sounded too farty and harsh. I switched over to my 5150II to finish practice and after the guys left I went back to the Mesa. I have had the amp ~1 month and I know they take some time to dial in. I have...

We play modern rock covers and originals. Our singer can play rhythm guitar...quite well actually. He can sing very well (a talent not easily found). Put the 2 together and each suffer a little with some songs. He has been playing in spots that are easy enough and really need the 2nd guitar...

3channel Dual or Triple Rec owners - What modes do you use on each channel? I am finding the best tones like this: ch1 - clean ch2 - modern ch3 - vintage Modern on ch3 is just too bright and sizzley to me. I like it much better on ch2 where I can dial it in to be a little warmer. Vintage on...

So my other post about my noisey DR had me thinking there was something wrong with the amp since most of the replies said their high gain Mesas are quiet. I screwed around with my setup for a few minutes last night and found that it is not the amp! Plugging straight in it was pretty quiet on...

On channels 2 and 3 in Vintage or Modern mode my Dual Rec is pretty noisey. High gain noise. Is this normal? And if so, how do you guys control it? My Tverb really wasn't noisey at all. And my 5150II isn't until you get to 7 or so on the pregain, but even that it isn't too bad.
