Has anyone been successful in modding the tremoverb’s tremolo to actually sound good. Maybe make it more like a traditional Fender 60’s Trem. I love the amp and if the trem was any good it would be some serious icing on the cake.

Had a studio pre about 5 years ago and kind of wanted one again but wanted to try a quad. Well here it is. Ch 1 sounds a fair bit "bigger" than Ch 2. Clean or dirty. Just has more girth. No idea if this thing has been modded or not. I had it open when I first got it to make sure the tubes...

Scored this today. Sounds great to me. Did quickies for Orange and Red, but through a cell phone the difference is minimal. No boosts. Orange https://youtu.be/HKScrCnRE7I Red https://youtu.be/rYXA4aJ_8vs

This is becoming a sound I'm loving out of my MKV. Like a dumbass I was perplexed why when i rolled video, the tone was more muted than a few minutes ago. I had rolled the tone pot back. It actually sounded OK through the phone, just warmer, more old school but in the room the nasty attack had...

OK, so my Deuce (bought used) performed great for over a year and suddenly started a serious feedback howl when taken off standby. I thought maybe just a bad tube. I open it up for the first time since I bought it and found this on V1. Any ideas what is going on here. The (copper?) foil is...

Was wondering what Mesa is using for their standard EL34 tube they sell. It seems $94 is a bit more than I can get many EL34 quartets for.

I've always felt the MK1 setting was the sleeper metal setting on the V and tonight I had the bright idea of using a graphic EQ (MXR 10 band) in the front to just clear a little low end going in to tighten it up and bingo I got the best approximation of MOP I think I have out of the amp. Big...

I was hoping a hot preamp tube might do the trick but saw in the manual that the reverb send and return are on different pre-tubes sharing duties with lead gain. Is it a matter of a different tank perhaps or are you looking at changing component values to get more signal to the tank?

I've only seen the Simul Class to straight Class A (outer pair only) switch on combo's. Is this available on heads. Been looking for a head that has it and haven't seen one yet.

Just put an old Super Distortion in my V so decided to do a quickie through the Stiletto. Really liking this pickup for the raw rock. Also much prefer it over any new Super D's I've tried recently. SS Rec and spongy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27XY40YJUTU

I've had my deuce II for about a year now and have been really happy with it. I know the Bias get's real cold when on tube rectifier or spongy, especially if both on crunch,gain settings but it sounds great. I don't hear anything I would consider harsh or brittle and I don't even play it that...

I've been playing new Roadsters lately and feel there's noticeably more gain on the Brit and clean settings when you get the gain up there. Personally I like it and because I realistically need to get a used one I'm concerned about getting this same result on CH 1 and 2 as I played many...

Trying to find a good power amp for my Studio Pre. Looking at Mesa 295's, Mesa 2:90's, Marshall EL34 50/50, Mesa 20/20, VHT 2-50-2. What have some of you used and what did you find, especially if you used more than one? I even may just run it into the return of my Stiletto but would like to have...

I've got an email into Boogie but was wondering if there's any generic ears available that would fit the Studio Pre? I looked on StewMac andMojo but find nothing. Other searches bring up nothing compatible.

I'm sometimes getting a loud pop when coming off standby on my Deuce. Any ideas on what would be causing it?

Simulclass question.....I've seen heads that have the simulclass switch and some that say their simulclass without the switch in back, but they have 34's on the outside. Is there a way to know for sure when the switch isn't there? Is it only Simulclass if you can physically switch to the outer...

Ok, So I recently picked up a used Stage II and noticed the rec tubes and a few of the power tubes made a fair amount of mechanical noise when tapping. So I decided to give some JJ's a go as I've used them with success in the past with Marshall's I've had. Just using a basic bias probe I noticed...

I'm checking out a used RoadKing II and was wondering is it normal for the reverb not to work unless activated by the footswitch? There's no F/S to try it but the reverb by itself does not work. Also is it normal that on channel 4 for the presence to only have a normal sweep on modern? On...

I was using my MXR 10 band to great affect in the loop of my 2 channel Triple and decided to do an experiment where I loaded down a Marshall Superlead into a Hotplate and used the line out on the hotplate to go through the MXR into the return of my Triple and use the triple for power only. I was...

Anyone used GZ34's instead of the 5U4G's in a dual or triple 2 channel. Did it mess with the voltages in a bad way for the tubes? Did you get a noticeable change in attack or tone?
