    Rectoverb 25 Head Hum ?

    Hey guys! The 1st time I turned the RectoVerb 25 in my house and I noticed a hum coming from the amp (not the speaker). I would like to make sure if that's normal behaviour as I don't think my Express does this (or maybe it was a long time since I ran it in a quiet house). Thank You for any input!

    Express 5:50+ reverb decay

    Since this is a reverb topic I thought I should ask here instead of just posting a new one. Is spring rattle normal when You move or bump Your amp slightly when it's turned off? I notice the springs rattling whenever I move the amp, it is not present while the amp is playing. I would like to...

    What pedal are you guys using with Express for metal?

    For a nice heavy tone try these settings: BURN channel Gain MAX, Trebble 3 o clock, Mid 3 o clock, Bass 9 o clock, Contour ON at 12 o clock to MAX (at Your preference). I find You can't go past 10 o clock on the bass because You will never get a tight tone then. Try it out ;)

    Channel switching without the cutoff ?

    Hey Guys! I know it's a known pain of the Express (5:25) that there is a short signal drop when switching channels but is that related to the stock Mesa footswitch? If I plugged a seperate channel switch to the CHANNEL jack on the back would that have the same problem? It's really annoying and...

    5:25 Express, new owner and a question

    Well I do have EMG's in my Gibson aswell. I've got the new Mesa EL84's a few days ago and I've installed them a while ago. Don't know if it's my ears again but I swear there is more bite and gain to the Burn channel. I've noticed one of the old EL84s was glowing bright blue, I know blue is not a...

    5:25 Express, new owner and a question

    Hey Guys! The cab with the GreenBack made a big difference as expected. There is way more bite. However I'm still trying to figure out if this is the right amount of gain I'm getting from the BURN channel, as I mentioned before I've never heard this amp with new tubes. I've found a video of the...

    5:25 Express, new owner and a question

    Thank You ! I've ordered paired MESA EL84 set , from what I understand there are no different kinds of MESA EL84s ? As no other parameter was specified on our local distributors website.

    5:25 Express, new owner and a question

    Thank You very much for the feeback ! I do have a set of Mesa power EL84s heading my way just in case (a matched pair) and I thought of buying some Electro Harmonix 12ax7's for the preamp since from what I've read preamp tubes should be "plug and play" and don't need to be biased, correct? And...

    5:25 Express, new owner and a question

    First of all hello to everyone here on the Board. I've purchased the Mesa Express 5:25 two days ago (first tube amp), still waiting for a cab to arrive however impatient as I am I plugged it into a small combo speaker (3.2Ohm 15W Peavey) just to hear it for a bit :) I'm the kind of guy that...
