I prefer a TS-9 I have an old one that Ive had since the early 80s. For metal rythyms I dont use it thou, I prefer straight amp for that, I just use the TS-9 to boost for solos

Magic Eight Ive been using attnuators since before you probably even knew what an attnuator was, and basically with one or using the loop you achieve the same sonic goal. The only difference is if you are diming everything thru an attenuator to bedroom level you just wind up with a lot of noise...

Well your first and cheapest option is to just use the loop as a master volume, I do this with my triple all the time and it works well. This is a lot cheaper than buying an attenuater.And basically it accomplishs the same thing as an attenuator. Someone mentioned a POD, I had a POD PRO rack...

ME I fought with the fizzy sound for years, in fact I just wouldnt use the modern channel at all, just jack up the vintage channels to get my tone. I guess at one time I thought all the controls should be up for some reason, but its gotten rid of all the fizziness that was bothering me with my...

I have a Triple and dont know how it relates to the Single, but I have learned on my modern channel to set my presence around 9 oclock, and I run my treble at about 12-1 oclock, it seems to take all that fizziness out to me. Most amps seem to have a sweet spot on the recs to me are best around...

Stop diming the bass! that will fix it

To hell with the amps, I want that brown car in the background! Nice way to tease us! What year is that?

LOL YJ! You should try it, it saves me tons of money a year, just hook your guitar thru a whammy pedal and hit the 2 octve up switch, dime out the Triple, and just play for a while! Im older than most on here I imagine, but i have a friend whos son came over with his guitar and asked to play...

Ive used a few different attenuators thru the years on my Mesa Triple, but I just quit using them and use the loop as my overall master volume these days I just feel less is more. I agree with the above post about not truelly sucking tone, if you are used to running the termites out of the...

Boah, I like your post, I used EL34s in my roadster when I had it and loved them too. The thing about tone is its subjective, as long as you are happy with it, it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks! Keep Rockin

Just sounds to me like you dont appreciate the variety the amp offers, I got rid of my Roadster Combo and am back using a Triple. But there wasnt anything wrong with the roadster, like someone said go check a new one out in a store and make sure there isnt something wrong with it.

I had one of the early ones, and now I have a more current Triple, I dont think its worth the bother, the new one has an additional channel, plus the boost for pumping your leads. Theres not that much difference, just learn to really work the amp you have and get the sound you have in your...

If your listening to these videos thru a carvin pa and speaker, would that make it sound more like Vai? LOL!

Yes you can, just pull the two outer tubes or the inner tubes, and take one rec tube out for each pair of power tubes. Ive run mine with 2 power tubes and 1 rec tube. If its all about volume you really wont notice a huge difference, it does sound a bit thinner to my ears, but volume wise your...

I play in a covers band everything from 70s classic rock to Grunge and Alternative rock of the late 90s I play a Triple Rec 1st channel is set to clean, with the gain way down and the master way up 2nd channel is set to raw, gain mid ways, and master mid ways 3rd channel set to vintage, gain...

Elvis and MB thanks for the info, I guess that rules me out of getting one, it looks like effects loop would be footswitchable to me, but i guess not, thanks for clearing that up for me. Enjoy the new amps!

I have a question for you MINI owners, I have an interest in one, but when I look on the MESA site, it looks like the Effects Loop is either off or one, can you turn it off and on or is it just preset? I dont see any send or return controls on it, so its just a set level and you use your effects...

Dont mean to be a smartass, but have you checked all your guitar cords? Checked your guitar? What about your speaker cord? Thru the years Ive done some silly things like that, so Im just asking. Good Luck, hope you get it figured out and if its in the amp please share what happened!

Iron $1200 is an excellent deal. They have handles on the sides, my advice use those to pick it up, it should come with wheels. Good Luck and enjoy it, now all you will need is 4x12 to put under it! LOL Seriously they are about as close as you can come to a half stack.

I had a roadster combo for a couple of years, great amp, even more flexible than the Triple. If you happen to buy it really explore channel two it has this brit mode setting, really crank the gain and bump it in front with a Tube Screamer, you got AC/DC right there, I had a set of EL34s in mine...
