I was looking at one of these in a combo recently and while I loved the cleans, I found it hard to dial in a distorted tone (think fusion-y) without it sounding harsh on the top end. Maybe it needed some TLC?? Any suggestions on settings? The price is good so I dont want to pass it up if I can...

Ok. So I had JJEC883's in my studio and wanted to try and open up the preamp's sound a bit more. So here what I did: V1: Mesa ECC883. Tried a Tungsol in V1 but the bass was too farty though it did brighten it up. The mesa was more open sounding. JJ had a lot more volume than these two (I...

I'll still have to play around with my setup I guess. The new tubes (Winged C's) from Doug Tubes didnt make any noticeable change when the power amp volume is pushed past 8. I'm not sure if the preamp tubes in the 50/50 are contributing to the boomy sound but I havent checked them. The other...

I may do that. I did get partial "relief" by changing my preamp driver tube from a JJ to a Mesa 12ax7. Some of the woofiness is diminished as well the preamp being more articulate. The power amp tubes look good but I may replace them and leave the old for backups.

Has anyone had an issue with the 50/50 being woofy at higher volumes? I am using a Studio Pre amp with 1x12 open back EV. If I set the power up past 6 or so, it gets really boomy. The presence control only adds some zing (too much I think), but doesnt help the bass issue. I'd like to get...

Ok. I ended up buying a 50/50. It hasnt got here yet but I'll add a new post when I've put it through the paces.

has anyone tried the 50/50? I'm might consider the bigger ones but at a measley 130 lbs, I dont want to push it! I've tried some combo Mark amps (I also have a Mark I) but I really like the Studio Pre. I havent tried a Mark IIC+ but compared to the Mark III and IV, the Studio Pre to me...

Hey all, I have a Studio pre and am looking into a power amp. I play mostly fusion (Chick Corea/ Tribal Tech/etc) and straight ahead jazz. I'm thinking either about a 50/50 or 20/20. Wanted to know if the 20/20 had enough headroom for loud clean playing. I've heard mixed reviews. I had...

I had the same issue with my Mark I. I have both an MI Audio Blue Boy Deluxe and Tube Zone and ended up just cutting the brightness control significantly and it now approaches what the pedal sounds like through my fender. Luckily these pedals have this control.

I just purchased a 90s Reissue and was hoping if someone could enlighten me on the effects loop. My Boss volume pedal and chorus pedal work fine in the loop but my delay pedal (Boss DD-20) I cant get any wet sound. The dry signal comes out alright though. I've experimented with setting the...
