ive heard both your clips before they sound really good, i hope you can post some more soon dream theater isnt so much my style so i was just hoping for some more diversity in the clips that paul recorded

Any chance you can post the recordings or at least a portion of them with or without the full mix? It would be great to listen to the differences as Im about to have my blue stripe shipped out to mesa this week for servicing and the c+/r2 mod

I'd love to know too, the mod sounds like exactly what i am lookin for does the pull deep still add gain? and is that really how its supposed to be?

finally got it fixed! turns out it was dirty *** pots, those bastards... but thankfully all is good now, and i can tell the cap job helped with the tightness/noise/harmonic content immensly! also i can now turn the presence up to like 7 before i hear any fizz whereas before even on zero is was...

my presence is on zero. even with my last set of pre amp tubes which still work good, same problem.

as far as cleaning jacks and pots should i just spray contact cleaner into the pots and jacks and turn them a bit until its all good? Its a really harsh high treble buzz that is constantly there at high gain settings that def was not always there. How can i go about checking cathode caps? Do i...

So I have now changed all pre's to Tung Sol and power tubes to SED and replaced the 7 main filter caps with sprague and F&T parts which helped alot with the noise floor and tightness of the amp. But there is still a very harsh ice pick quality to the tone that was never there before. No matter...

Thanks murray, that sounds like it could be a possibility ive got new F&T and sprague filter caps coming this week, but i got a magnifying glass and want to inspect the board Can you specifify which board the power tubes are on? I dont see mine being on one... How obvious is a cracked circuit...

Well I just got new power tubes. 6l6 and el34 SED Winged C's and up loud the amp still sounds soo harsh. Can it be a fried resistor, caps, pots? Im out of ideas on what I can look at myself and dont have a good tech I know of in CT. Also would like to diagnose on my own if I could. Worse comes...

uh pres were EH and a mesa 12ax7 in V1, but even with those in there it sounded rough, thats why I changed them. Today Im gonna take the chasis out, go through all the pots and tube sockets and make sure everything is clean Thanks for the replies

The amp used to sound amazing I would always get tons of compliments at shows and I never set it for a metal sound, just a nice thick warm kinda high gain tone and it was perfect. Now the amp has a really harsh grating quality like there is buzzyness attatched to any note i play. I know how to...

So I've got my Mark III Fully Loaded Blue Stripe retubed with a brand new set of Tung Sol Pre Amp Tubes. They sound pretty nice and lively but the amp has a nasty harsh buzzing no matter what the settings even with treble/presence/high eq all on zero. The clean channel sounds beautiful and the...
