I only run a single Strymon Flint thru the effects loop and the control has been set to Noon from Day 1.

The first time a saw and heard Jeff Beck was with The Yardbirds at the Alexandria, Virginia Roller Rink, December 23, 1965. I was 15. Then with Stevie Ray Vaughan(In Step Tour) at the long gone, but not forgotten, Capital Center, in Landover, Maryland, November 6th, 1989. They both filled the...

Here's a link to the Fillmore Front Panel White Radio Knobs, in case you're interested... http://www.forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=85367

Thanks for asking. Mesa recommends the 100 watt setting for both channels to use all four(4) power tubes. Also use the 'Tweed' setting as recommended, I've got the 'silicon diode' setting ON (not the rectifier tracking) and 4 ohm speaker output. Running this head through the matching 2x12...

Glad I could help...It's been a long time since I originally posted and thought a lot of people were really missing the opportunity to 'upgrade' from those plain chicken head knobs to those that really improved the looks and function of the front panel of the Fillmore series. Ciao'

Thanks for asking. To my ears, there's a softer tone at the exact same settings I was using with the quad 6L6's...in other words, I didn't change any front panel controls I had set, just swapped the tubes, and turned the amp on, played some chords and single note riffs. There's none of the huge...

Today I went from a quad set of 6L6's to a quad set of 6V6's. As per Mesa recommendation: Tweed setting/100 watt switch on(both channels)/4 ohm speaker output/rectifier tracking on. Should be about 40 watts...into a matching Lonestar 2x12 cabinet. A BIG difference in overall tone and volume...

The front panel, to me, now looks like it makes design sense. The black chickenhead knobs(that I've saved of course) weren't the best looking choice for such a tremendous amp. But Mesa did what they did...I'll wager the more people see 'the new look' they might follow what I've done. Actually, I...

As for me, I never cared too much for the Mesa reverb in my Fillmore 100 combo(Or my Lonestar 100 head either...) I use an Electro-Harmonix 'Oceans 11' in the effects loop of the Fillmore and a Strymon 'Flint' for the LS. Problems solved. (I apologize, my reply wasn't the proper answer to your...

Here you go...Much, much better looking, imho.

I've got a new Fillmore 100 watt combo...The black 'chicken head' knobs against the black front panel were driving me crazy...I never liked them in the first place and found them impossible, for me, to see clearly where they were set, ok? Solution: StewMac part number: 50804 Vintage-style...

After playing more and more thru this head over the last several months, I began to wonder, 'Why do both channels sound weak, Lo Fi and the drive channel just poor?' Well, the head was bought 9/2016...I looked at the manual and the one thing in common? V1...the original tube had never been...

Hello there, This might be an out of left field suggestion, but since no one else has replied, I thought I'd suggest contacting Warehouse Guitar Speakers. Their customer/technical support is first class and I'm certain they've heard of all combinations of speakers people might be interested in...

Wow...A question~!. The answer is: it depends. If you're running all four(4) EL34s in 100 watt mode, it's more 'British' than 'California' sounding. Since I don't have professional studio engineering ears, it's a very subtle/feel change in my opinion. Either way, the LSC 100 watt head is the...

I'm wondering out loud why the moderators haven't created a new amp category for the Fillmore Series?

Wow wow wow...And I thought my Mark V:25 was going to be the last low wattage head I'd ever buy...Mesa hit me right between the eyes and the pocketbook~!!!

Cancelled?...Well the Express Series is no longer displayed on the Mesa site, so I would say Yes is the correct answer...

Captain Obvious here. Well with a new quad set(tested) of these tubes(not Mesa brand($$$), by the way) in this amp, EL34 bias, with the 50 watt setting, using either channel, Tube Rectifier Tracking set "on' and 'Tweed' power switch enabled...this amp is a totally different animal driving a...

I've got the Mark V:25 and it's a great amp weight/price/performance. BUT if you want a 'lifetime' amp always go big...get the 90, you'll never have buyers remorse and left wondering 'why didn't I just save up for a few more months and buy the most and best I could afford'...

Bought a Lonestar 2x12 off of Mr.Reverb. Sounds fantastic with the 100 watt Lonestar head.
