i bought some stuff from doug's, it was a good experience. nice to just call someone on the phone and discuss your order with a real human being who knows tubes.

no dice, it got louder but nowhere near normal operating volume. guess i'll just use it without the fx loop

cool i'll give it a shot and report back

no i'm just playing without using the loop at the moment.

one of the guitar teachers i had in sydney knows randall smith and goes way back with mesa, and his advice was to never buy a new mesa model until it's been out a couple years haha

pretty amazing how expensive they are in oz, i had a big debate with a guy from pro audio over email about how i thought they were gouging. i'll post it in its entirety maybe. i'm gonna use a 500w stepdown and see if i can get sherlock amps to send me a 240v tranny, i don't think rectos have...

touching tubes is fine, but let em cool first. as far as leaving your amp on, it probably just depends on how long you want your tubes to last. just play a couple hours, turn it off, and spend the rest of the day on the computer :P

twelve noon on both the fx send/return knobs. like i said i get some small amount of volume on chan 3 but on nothing else.

bump cause i replaced all the preamp tubes and it still happens

i think you might be a little misinformed on the nature of power and tubes - it's ok, i was too when i bought my triple recto (i wish'd gotten a dual and pulled a pair of tubes). to get a ~3db sound increase (sound doubles with every 3db) you have to 10x the wattage. so all other things equal...

i got a 4x12 avatar with eminence v12l's in it, in 1999, for 150 + shipping. it stills sounds great and i'm getting ready to sell it for what i paid. i'd heartily recommend them.

i heard you shouldn't ever pull 4 power tubes out of a recto. but i've had 2 tubes + 1 rectifier pulled forever and had no problems.

hey all, was just messing around with a new EH delay i bought and noticed that my FX loop doesn't seem to be working on my TR. if i set the switch to "bypass loop" everything sounds fine, but if i use any of the other options (which would engage the solo and output controls, as well as the loop)...

seriously just go used. they're built like tanks anyways

lol anybody got some advice for how to pack a triple rec in a suitcase? australia here i come!

last time i checked the online store only has 440's for 6l6's. i'm not sure they have a page about discontinued tubes - http://mesa.stores.yahoo.net/tuavasdu.html they do have this though, but it's outdated by 2 years - http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/TubeReference/TubeRefGuide.html

i'm not sure it will hurt the amp, but the speakers, if voiced for certain frequencies, could be damaged. as far as i know amplifiers are not subject to frequency response, they just amplify whatever comes through. it's the physical tug of an 80hz bass note that can damage a guitar voiced...

well the nice thing about putting el34's in a TR is that i get a little tighter and more midrange sound, while still retaining the recto voicing. 6l6's just sound too throaty for me, but i don't like marshalls either. anyways i think i might get the EH 6ca7, the reviews on those said they...
