    Tube Scare (normal?) "has this happened to you?"

    I live 10 minutes from the MESA factory in Petaluma. I bought these tubes from an "authorized" dealer also near me and assumed they would be top of the line (wouldn't think there would be grades of tubes with MESA on the box)...

After trying many "tone" altering pedals, pups, settings etc. my brain woke up and decided to change tubes. I started with new power tubes. That...

    MIDI MATE W/ GCX AUDIO SWITCHER

    Hello, I know they're different makers but they do work together. I have the MM changing patches of a G-maj 2 and switching MKV amp channels etc. BUT, Does anyone know how to combine these? Say MM ch 14 is "lead EFX" which needs MKV Ch-3.. I can step on MM button 8 for amp ch-3 and another for...
