Check out www.legendarytones.com. The guy is a major Marshall lover, but he has done tons of work with major players. As the volume goes up in a room, the eq's on the amps need to be tweeked. Move volume, demands that the bass be backed off and that the mids get turned up. Even Korn turns...

I have had similar problems with a Boogie Nomad. I had a 400+ and it did not do what you are describing but the Nomad did. 1st, when it happens again, look to see if 1 or 2 tubes are glowing brighter than the others. One will be much brighter, the other just a little. Then look at your...

Think Stone Temple Pilots. All those tones are modified Vox's all use EL 84's. You can get beautiful cleans or JCM 800 like crunch or Boogie gain and sustain. They don't have as much low end bottom crunch, but with an EV speaker, NO CELESTIANS, they get pretty close. The Mesa's using EL...

Oh yeah forgot, Baltic Birch in the boat business means they import the wood from Eastern Europe (The Baltic Sea). These are often old growth trees, very old, very many rings, very dense wood. I don't know if this is true or not but I know I love every Boogie cab I have ever seen.

I worked for several years repairing boats, marine grade means they use 2 part epoxy between each layer, and they "glue/epoxy" gets squeegied on betweed each layer(14plys=14 layers) to make sure their are no voids for water to seep into and stay. This prevents dry rot in a boat and prevents...

You just told me something important, if the head was on a chair, the chair could have been vibrating from numerous sources. The drums, the guitar, even the PA. It will be interesting to see if you can make the sound come back by yourself.

I'd try to get that sound again by yourself. Play real loud for a while by yourself until you reproduce the sound. Then I'd look at the tubes to see if one or more is looking hotter, or colder than the others. Those sounds can be a vibration in a wearing out tube or almost anything else...

I am assuming you are using the contour mode. That is a given. Then do not turn the midrange down past 10:00/10:30. Treble at 12:00 mids at 10:00, bass pegged 5:00 in contour mode. Even with the 12" Blackwidow, without a 4/12 you should have nice low end. Unless you are playing a tele or...

Welcome. Start by lowering the wattage on your distorted channels to emulate your DC5. Turn your presence way lower than the DC 5. If your trying to emulate the CONTOUR, go with the silicone rectifier and Modern. Do not lower your mids past about 10:00 there is A LOT of mid in the DC...

If I play with a 'real drum set' not electronic, I'll use my Nomad 45, which is usually more than I need. With an electronic drum set, I always use a Subway Rocket. I know all the guys who 'need' 100 watts for tone etc. I just want to play at a volume where the band gets paid, rather than...

Geddyentwistle, With that name you HAVE to be a bass player! You name two of my favorites. And who is crazy enough to call him self 'Jaco' anything? Any mesa bass gear? Welcome to the forum!

The feel and dynamics of any modeling amp is different than tubes as you all know. Try a Boogie Subway Rocket, the contour setting is awfully cool!!! Not a rectifier, but I'd certainly preferr one to a solid state, even with a preamp tube.

Try the compresser, you can boost all or most of the levels with the eq, and get a volume boost, but it won't do much for sustain.

With my old DC 2 I loved a compresser. Had the level up a little higher than 12 o clock. Try one from Guitar Center, some are very cheap. If no good, take it back. The compresser didn't change the sound much, but I set it to increase volume and it helped alot with sustain. Doesn't your...

Lots of folks don't like channel 3 on the Nomad. I have one and it took me two months to tweak it in. Now I use it as much as channel two. Everyone who buys the rectoverb loves both channels right away. The nomad gives you three, some folks don't like the third as much as two, but you still...

I love my Nomad. This is my third Boogie Guitar amp,(had a 400+ bass amp) and I have loved every one. They have all been different, but great. They're the only cabinets I'll ever buy as well, bass or guitar.

I played one for 10 years. It is an Ampeg SVT on steroids. Great sound, unbelievably loud but.... Terribly HEAVY, it was almost 100 lbs with my road case. Everybody that ever helped roadie for me ,cursed the thing and hated me! Because it was SO heavy, my road case was always getting really...

Call Boogie right away. They have a great customer service phone # and treat you like gold, even with a used amp. It sounds like the internal connection, underneath the chassis of the amp to me, but Boogie will help you. Go on line get the #.

To make a serious recommendation I'd like to ask you a couple of questions. Are you using any effect pedals? Any distortion/gain pedal? Do you want a head or a combo? How loud do you play? Are you going to use a pedal for lead boost? All of these questions will have a big impact on what...

I think this has to do with EL84 tubes. I thought it was some way to get extra juice out of the smaller wattage EL84 units, like Subways or DC2's I did not think you had that option on 6L6 tube amps. Correct me out there if I'm wrong.
