    Lack of EQ

    Hey Larry, I was at rock bottom with this amp for a while. After spending $120 on a set of new Preamp and Power tubes I noticed a slight difference. The difference being slightly more gain (and usable gain might I add), and a smoother voicing. If you take a look at some of the earlier posts you...

    Express 5-25 Plus for Metal/Hardcore?

    Noah, I was not mocking your thread by saying I laugh when I see a post like this. To be honest I like telling people what this amp can do. I mearly laughed only because this question has been asked plenty. I understand your thinking in regards to the overdrive pedal. I thought that...

    Express 5-25 Plus for Metal/Hardcore?

    LOL I always laugh when I see posts like this. YES this amp can do Metal/Hardcore no worries. You just need to know how to use it. I play Death Metal on my Express 5:50, Cannibal Corpse style riffs and It sounds Brutal. You WILL need to have an overdrive or a clean boost running before the...

    Lack of EQ

    Well since Don has given me that info I have put his words to the test. I have played my mates 5:50, and 5 others in various music stores. I found the same thing with all of them. The equaliser is not very responsive at all (especially with the Burn channel). Good thing that the voicings on...

    Lack of EQ

    Hi Don, Thanks for your reply. I am so happy that I have found someone who has experienced the same issue. Your explanation makes perfect sence to me now and have started using the EQ on my TC Electronic Nova System which sits in the loop. It has helped 10 fold. Also I changed my tubes a...

    Lack of EQ

    Ok, So I have put the new tubes in and I don't really hear much of a difference at all. The bass is tighter slightly, but the EQ controls are still the same! I have little response from the EQ period! Arrrrrgggggg so frustrating.

    Lack of EQ

    My Own Original Metal Song

    Hey Corpsetone! Thanks heaps for the feedback. Was going for a Cannibal Corpse type thick and brutal tone at the time, and having a tone comparison to Necrophagist is pretty **** rad :) I love a pretty broad range of metal ranging from Nu Metal to tech Death Metal and I tried to incorporate...

    Mesa Mini Rectifier Review ( Surprised and Impressed)

    Great review Adambomb, I so want one of these. I have seen so many demos on youtube, but none sold me more than fearsde's Metal demo. It sounds so good, and the voicing and tone sounds just like the older brothers :) Although I do think the bass is slightly tighter and more focused than it's...

    Mesa rectifier + G major 1

    Hey There Mate, I haven't ever tried a G Major or a G System, but I do own a Nova System. I have had it for over 8 months and use it every day. It has never frozen on me, the effects are mind blowing, and sounds amazing in an effects loop. As an added bonus you can run it before the amp and...

    My Own Original Metal Song

    I wrote and recorded this back in 2008, but it's the only recording I have of my Mesa products. I was uber happy with the chunky, tight tone that i got from my Dual Rec in this song. Please excuse the lack of bass and fruity loop drums. It's the tone and riffs I want you to hear :) Enjoy - I...

    Lack of EQ

    I also think there may be something wrong. The thing is though, I have found it to be like this since I bought the amp brand new 6 months ago. I want more gain out of it so I want to get a tungsol or JJ high gain in the V2 position. Any ideas as to what preamp tubes would give a slightly...

    Mesa Triple Rectifier - Henric Hermansson Modded

    That doesn't sound like a recto anymore in my opinion. I owned a '95 Dual Rec for 2 years and loved the tone but ended up getting rid of it due to the size and inability to get the volume past 9 O'clock at home. I absolutely loved the chunky, thick but harmonically rich tone. It's the reason...

    Lack of EQ

    Hi There, This is my first post so be gentle lol. I have had my Express 5:50 1x12 combo for about 6 months and I absolutely love it. I play all music styles but mainly write hard rock and metal stuff. I have noticed that the EQ on this amp isn't very responsive (especially on the burn...
