I was under the impression that the original Boogie Super/Mark I had 6 knobs on the front panel - Vol 1, Vol 2, Treb, Mid, Bass, Master, presence and reverb (if it had it) were on the rear panel. I used to gig with a friend's '77 Mark I with reverb which only had those 6 up front, but in this...

From a cover I'm doing of Donald Fagen's arrangement of "Ruby Baby" from his Nightfly album. I'm using and Epi Dot with DiMarzio 36ths straight into my Mini Rec with the matching V30 mini cab, no pedals. Amp is on "modern" with a moderate amount of gain (I think gain was around 9 o'clock...

What ^^he^^ said. I've got a Gridslammer, great TS-type pedal. If you've got a Fluxdrive/Fluxfive I wouldn't get rid of it, though, in favor of a GS. Like you said, just turn the gain down a bit, and it will pretty much do the same thing. Basically, the GS is a TS-type pedal, great as a...

^^^I like the powder coat, color and finish.^^^ I was never fond of the shiny industrial metallic look, so I scuffed the fascia and hit it with a few coats of semi-flat black. I'd like to get rid of it altogether and go for a new face and shell similar to the ROV25, but it's not high on my...

Cool tune and video. Your playing, tone, and production are always top shelf.

Thanks, mate. I think the MR does do a pretty good job of getting early Mark (like Mark I) type tones, too. I've had the Mini Rec for 4 years now, and I'm still in love with what it does; just perfect for what I do both recording and with my trio. What I've found works best is 25W setting...

From my home studio, a tribute to Mr. 335 using my Epi Dot fitted with DiMarzio 36ths and my Mini Rec. My own arrangement and backing track. https://soundcloud.com/kiwijoe-1/last-nite

If you ran the test by yourself where you knew beforehand which necks you were testing and not in a blind or double blind fashion, I'll suggest that you were heavily influenced by confirmation bias. In a true, double-blind test most players could not tell the difference in tone from one type of...

Well, it's the obvious answer to all those arguments about "tone suck" issues surrounding cable length and capacitance. :lol:

^^^THIS^^^ Mesa OD is a big factor with their amps. While most all Mesa amps have gorgeous cleans and will work very well as pedal platforms, it's kind of a waste to get a Mesa and not take advantage of its OD. You may find that you can ditch a lot of your OD pedals if you get a Mesa, but...

Mini Rec owner of over 3 years here. I know MM transformers are among the best out there, but I haven't felt the need to experiment with one since I'm really happy with my amp as it is; I play it loud (like channel masters at noon-3 o'clock) and have no complaints or problems. Also, I have...

I run a Boss DD-7 in the (series) loop of my Mini Rec. Works great, no noise, no worries. If the device has an output level control that helps. As for reverb, I don't know. I've heard that the TC Electronics Hall of Fame is quite good.

A while back I posted about my successful use of a 12ay7 in V2 which tamed (took some edge off) the gain on the OD channel with little or no effect on the green/clean channel. The low gain/high volume configuration works really well for me and the style of music that I play in our trio - I run...

Any TS-style pedal. Try the Mesa Grid Slammer. With the level maxed and the gain down, it should kick your modern mode in the nuts nicely.

I've got a Grid Slammer, and your assessment and personal theory are spot on. I use the GS with my Mini Rec's clean channel set to be crunchy with guitar volume wide open, and it pushes the amp over the edge nicely, giving me a "third channel" option somewhere between squeaky clean and the way...

You didn't say which recordings you've heard, but the following is not what people usually associate with "the Dumble tone" or the style of music that's usually associated with that tone. This is a Dumble 50W ODS with a true master pilot at the helm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAbbgSKUZB4

I gig with my Mini Rec with low-gain and high volume, so I had been running my gain around 9 o'clock (and the volume around 2 o'clock). I found the adjustment of the gain knob really spikey down low in the range like that, for just the reasons that have been outlined in the posts above. I...

Only if you want to place the mic directly centered on the cone, but most people don't do that; they offset the mic somwhere between the center and the edge of the speaker and angle it other than perpendicular to the speaker. I record with a Mini slant cab with no problems. There is no single...

You'll be fine. The Mesa pedal (as are most pedals) is 9v center negative. Your Boss power supply is 9v center negative, and it should have more than enough mA to drive the pedal.

I didn't know Fender even made pedals. :| I guess the question you have to answer for yourself is: Do you want to save some money, or do you want the same GEQ (same circuit, same frequency spread) in the loop of your 22 that Mesa puts in its amps with the GEQ option?
