    Mesa Thiele 4x12 stack

    For the looks of 4 X 112 vs. a stack of 412's, it just depends on the angle of the camera LOL True things about the harness of the wires being external... I'd make sure that all speaker cables are the same lenght, AWG and brand, just because I am OCD like that. Obviously you don't want a 100'...

    Mesa Thiele 4x12 stack

    I agree that the built of the Thiele is to pack high wattage into it, and on the floor it sounds best. That doesn't mean you can't run them in parallel or series like a 4X12, one 212 or two, as long as your resistance factor makes sense. My 112's were just too good on price to pass on them, but...

    Mesa Thiele 4x12 stack

    I own 3 X 112, all different: Thiele 112 widebody (23") closed back with c90, an open back 23" with V30 and a 3/4 closed back extra wide (26") with C90. I have tried the paring of 2 and it sounds great (V30 and extra wide body with C90). I now play into the extra wide alone as it is my fav... I...

    Mesa Triple Crown tone suck test - new video

    Hello Marcelo, great and detailed video! Thank you. I noticed the tone/db loss when I got my TC50 and right away added a preamp at the end of my pedal board and that fixed it... and I just 'forgot' I had it there lol. I like your solution but I have not looked into its cost. @bandit2013 had...

    TC50 first impressions and argument to buy

    Anyone tried an Orange cab with their TC? I recently refurbished a 412 Marshall cab (has original Made in England GT-65's in it) and I keep going back and forth between my Mesa oversized 1X12 3/4 open back and the Marshall. I was wondering about the Orange cabs since many people swear by them...

    Mesa Triple Crown TC-50 2nd & 3rd channels noisy

    Hello Maxem, this will sound silly... just doing some elimination process here. Since you have tried with the tubes and nothing worked... Have you changed where you plug your amp recently? Have you changed anything in your house (i.e. modems, routers, lighting, etc)? I ask because I got an awful...

    Good pedal to put in front of a Mesa to overdrive it?

    I tried and kept a Laney Tonny Iommi boost and it rocks! It has an EQ that can be turned on or off. Plumes from Earthquaker Devices is also very versatile in front of the amp. Let us know your pick! Cheers

    Running two TC50 with one pedal board?

    Thanks guys! And nice vid Bandit, very clear. I guess that in either case (getting another TC or getting another brand), I'll still need to couple my effect pedal board; I mean going into a send/return (in) pedal with double send/return (out to both heads). I don't look to get a true stereo with...

    Running two TC50 with one pedal board?

    Hello all, Hope you all Boogie aficionados are doing well. I think I read somewhere that there is a way to link two TC heads together, allowing ONE pedal board for both heads? Either I dreamt it or I am too stupid to find back the info. There was a trick to do it and I can't imagine what...

    Refinishing a Marshall cab

    Hello all, Just sharing my recent project. A friend of mine was selling his well toured Marshall cab, a 4X12 JCM800 Lead, mono @ 280w, with 4 Rola 65w drivers. I stripped it down, sanded, a friend took care of the wood filling/painting/sanding/painting again. He did a great job there. No vinyl...

    Free I think I got scammed

    In this world there are two types of people... those who work full time, and those who scam full time. The last ones are a sub specie, parasites that feed off the good ones like us here. Sorry to read all of this and hopefully none of this happens again.

    Speakers for 3/4 back cabinet with Rectoverb 25

    Hey, I played around with speakers in recent years, but separate 1X12's. I had the Rectoverb and used a Thiele, then went to a TC50 with one wider cab with a C90 in it. Then bought another 1X12 open back with a V30 in it and last year got a 1X12 wide ¾ open back with a C90. So far my favourite...

    TC50 first impressions and argument to buy

    I tried adding an EQ in the loop to add a bit of bass, what a difference! Thanks for sharing your speakers choices. Cheers

    TC50 first impressions and argument to buy

    Me again, yes again about the TC lol. Just to share that I recently scored a Three Quarter open back 1X12 cab (with a C90). It sounds absolutely awesome. Why did Mesa stop making those I wonder... I have not gigged with it at high volume yet and for now I try to figure if I like it best paired...

    Suggestions for a Mesa amp for mid heavy sound

    Hey Mike, I deal with the same issue of being in the country... that being said, a 4hrs trip to the store helped me pick a TC50 a few years back. I am not a Mesa amp expert like some others here so keep that in mind with my comments: I never looked back. I played around with some tubes and the...

    TC50 first impressions and argument to buy

    Hello Bandit, are you referring to the JAN-PHILIPS 12AT7WC model? I need to replace that FX Tube and found an old tube of that model... not sure it's ok as I slapped it in there and didn't notice much of an improvement with the volume/tone suck in fx. Overall the sound seemed improved a bit but...

    Can Boogies be addictive?

    This is an excellent advice and well explained opinion! Wow. I am not familiar with the Badlander at all so thanks for the suggestion, I will have some digging to do. I like that it uses EL34, would be using the same stock I bought for the TC. Thanks for your answer and take care Cheers
