E-mail Ted Weber regarding this. You know he does custom stuff, and he's got a killer inventory of designs and everybody gives him rave reviews. He might have an EV-like cone that can be Neodymium fitted. Never tried a Weber myself, but try it.

Thanks guys. I'm going to mix it up at some point, in terms of magnet type. I never thought about looking at SPL and matching them as close as possible in a cab to get consistent behaviour -- I've only noticed tone-style and wattage, and SPL ratings should be an additional consideration in my...

I have a Tremoverb too. It's a unique amp due to the fact that it's noticeably smoother than the regular DRs. My two cents: I think they need to be fed something more to their liking, something clean and organic; don't worry, you'll have plenty of gain, but cleaner gain. Preamp tubes that I...

Bump.

Argh! Browser crashed my very excellent reply. Short and sweet: I call the entire realm of this "homogenisation." I agree with you 100% on everything you say. Manufacturers have to rely on some economy-of-scale to get their products off the floor and out of the docks. And amp & cabinet makers...

Uuh... Hey, jdurso! What's that!? *tranquiliser in your neck!* Stuff like that has to be secret if you want that edge. Especially since it's in total disguise by being in a cabinet. Make it look like you've got "stock" tone. Well, that's what I do anyway. *puts your opiated body on a train...

I've never seen anything, but I'm curious. Would running my cabinet with two speaker cables in 4 ohm, rather than with one cable at 8 ohms, give the bottom end more oomph?

Has anyone ever mixed 2 ceramics and 2 alnicos in a 4x12 cabinet? I'm looking to replace my two Celestion V30s that came with my Mesa Standard/Oversized cabinet with speakers that are creamier. I'm looking for a sexy sound to compliment my V30-like ceramic Governors, and I want something that...

Testify!

Thanks for all your replies. That perceptual volume difference opened my eyes up about tubes again. Wouldn't using the FX Loop master merely saturate my preamp section? I've done it before, but I quickly went back to normal because of there was much more noise than usual. I have different...

For posterity: Homogenisation. That's why. I'd rather not sound like something that's been done for the past thirty years too.

Any suggestions for a better HFS? That's one piece I can't seem to narrow down to a handful to buy and try. Thanks, Alejandro

Thanks Elpelotero. I'm a member of every forum except that one! **** Top Secret Specs! I agree with you platypus. The HFS and Vintage 30s: How much do you love ice-picks in yo ears?!

True. True.

But remember, if there are some busted guts they can be repaired to full specification. Practically everything can be replaced too, that's the great thing about Mesa. I'd walk 500 miles to fix my Verbiage.

It's Maryland-made from 1998. I've tried penciling, graphite lube, dabs of white lithium grease, and combinations of the latter two, to at least ease the knee-bend of the string over the saddle. My aggressive playing is very, very sporadic. I'll contact PRS, but I'm just going to have to try...

I agree wholeheartedly. In fact, this topic should be deleted to remove all trace of this information. I'm serious. No really... I AM SERIOUS. Secret and magical in the hands of the uninitiated mind is dangerous.

Commander Coo1, In addition to the compressor, how do you like your screamer? Is there no comparison? I'm interested because the BYOC stuff seems all top-shelf and it's all true-bypass. If I can avoid FETs and modding, I'll do it. I dig that Tremolo demo. A definite if my Tremoverb breaks and I...

With all this set-up and tuning stuff, I've got a few for some out there: I use D'Addario, 09-42. And my strings keep breaking at the bridge on my PRS? The black-balled middle D especially. Is there a secret with PRS set-up, simply because their tuners are quite unconventional? I've tried...

Or point me to a website or PDF. I absolutely cannot find any technical specs on these things. My intention is replace them with similar output pups, but... eh. They ain't similar to anything because I cannot find any info on them. Thanks.
