I should have an update tonight.

Thanks BB. I think I've ruled out cables at this point, and I looked inside the pedal and it looked clean (i know that doesn't mean that it IS clean, lol) I'm going to clean it on tuesday after rehearsal. The really hard thing is I cannot recreate the problem, every time I try it works. So it's...

So this is the first problem I've had with the amp in 7 years. It did this once at rehearsal a few weeks ago then it did it in the middle of a show tonight: At random (it worked fine through the whole set until the last song) it got stuck on the orange channel, and I had to disconnect the cable...

I know I'm really late on this thread, but I really could not help it: "please believe me when i say that Im 100% confident that it is not the tubes." "since ive started having the problem ive retubed the amp 4 times . Svetlana 6L6' sovtek 12ax7 wa's like i've said im confident its not a tube...

I actually prefer running my Dual @50Watts. But no, it won't be noticeably quieter than 100.

The cool thing about doing that is you get the advantages of the closed back cab with the open back combo. The closed back is articulate while the open back sounds expansive. I never liked my open back cab alone, but when I ran it stereo with my closed back cab, it's the best sound I ever got...

Yeah they are really affordable. Man, I played an F-30 combo today at work for a couple hours. Those amps sound really good. I'm trying to convince my other guitarist to get one. If he dosen't, I might. An F-50 head through a traditional recto 4X12 should sound sick, dude.

The Scenery Channel clips sound like that because the dude can seriously play. I shouldn't speak for another guitarist, but chances are he could dial in those tones on most heads. Don't get me wrong, the F-50's a fine choice, and perhaps the right choice. I'm thinking about getting one after...

Way back when I first got my two channel Dual, I would get all kinds of foreign language stations through it, seemingly at random. One time, I even got a russian talk station at the same time as a spanish talk station. The problem got better when I started using better cables, but the problem...

I've scanned this thread a few times, so I'm sorry if you posted this and I just keep missing it. What are your settings? More specifically, how high do you have your presence, treble, and gain? WillShred

What else can you tells us about the signal chain? Pickups, guitar, cables, effects loop? WillShred

Yeah that stuff's not proprietary. You can just use the cable from your PC. WillShred

Good call.

I, myself, feel quite isulted. Let us keep our isults to ourselves. Hmm, ok take two: Let us keep ARE isults to areselves. I feal like part of the teem now. WillShred

I'm only responding to the orange channel presence question. I've had similar experience with the pod but I don't have the answer. I just stopped trying to use the pod as a stand alone effects unit. Yes, it is normal for the presence to "seem" to stop working on orange modern. It even addresses...

Someone feel free to fact check me on this. I'm not an amp tech, but I know what amp techs have told me. The SPAX7 is just a 12AX7 that tests with lower microphonic noise than other 12's. The give it some extra shielding and then market it for the V1 (input tube) slot. Supposedly, this reduces...

This may be a little patronizing, but did you run the 7581 business by the tech support guy?

I didn't re-read the other thread, so I hope I'm not missing something. I've never heard of 7581's until now but this is what it says on http://www.vacuumtube.com/FAQ.htm It sounds similar to problems I've had with worn out powertubes, but that wouldn't explain why it sounded fine through...

Agreed. Real engineers who know what they're talking about use the 57 for the tone you're looking for. I AM NOT KNOCKING OTHER MICS! But for the down tuned palm muting tone you should really stick with a 57. Even though Andy Sneap is strictly a metal engineer, this is the tone you're looking...
