    Fifty Fifty issue

    2 cents to check. When I got my 50/50 after a while it was blowing fuses and I checked most everything. The fuse holder didn't seem right after replacing fuses a few times. I took it out and replaced it. Never had that problem again. It's been many years.

    Mesa Nomad reverb problem

    Hi, the Nomad uses those relays on the board for switching doesn't it? Need to check a schematic. Looks like cap resistor fet or IC. Or Zener diode?

    best wood glue on old broken Mesa cabs?

    I have always been a firm believer in white woodworking glue. Clean the joints. Use clamps to hold it while it dries.

    Mesa 50 / 50 power amp and pedalboard

    I use a GT1000 into the 50/50 and 2 seperate 12" Black Shadow Celestions mini custom made cabs closed and insulated, adjusted settings of the preamps in the Gt1000. Play small clubs 2.5 volume or so. The sound/tones are real nice. People come up all the time and say they love the guitar...

    Awesome Tone at Lower Volume

    you can also get some resistive powersoak device to install before speaker on output so you can crank the amp and suffer a little on tone, however with adjustments you can dial a pretty good tone. Your 90watt amp will need a 100watt resistive device. I use a stereo 50/50 set on low and a stereo...

    Boss GT1000 in effects loop?

    I got custom patch sets from tonegarageUK and had some real good emails with him. This was what it took for me to start tweaking the device for guitar and amp, pretty much opened the whole idea up to what has to get done to get tone I wanted. It was easier back in the years. Now these pedals...

    Boss GT1000 in effects loop?

    Yes great piece. I find always have to tweak amps settings, distortion settings, setup equalizer and echo's noise gate levels, just about everything. Guitar signal and can't even remember all the other settings and levels. Kept searching YouTubes and documents until I found what I needed. Hours...

    Boss GT1000 in effects loop?

    Yes thats correct. I'm very happy with the Gt1000 and all factory tones needed to be tweaked for my guitar. You have to work that device and the amp. I tried already made patches and had to tweak them also. Move around effects. I have set the 1000 up with the Lonestar and have made patches with...

    Boss GT1000 in effects loop?

    How about input your instrument to GT1000. Output your GT1000 left/mono to return jack on amp. Insert dummy plug in send jack on amp. 1/4" plug no wires. Use GT preamps. So you bypass the preamp on your amplifier. I used my Lonestar like this for several rehearsals and it worked very well for GT...

    The Multimeter Cannot Lie.....right?

    Jacks and connectors don' t last forever. I have found many over the years. Possible to polish/sand with 1000 or higher sandpaper. Makes a difference. Best is to replace any resistive connection.

    The one guitar you regret most parting with?

    Many years ago when I was a young man I had a 60's white Les Paul Custom and possibly could have been a 50's with shaved neck that was basically stolen in Vancouver Canada. The shaved neck had super smooth feel and hand movement would just glide easily. A friend used to go to Seatle Washington...

    50/50 High Plates Voltage

    Henz thanks for the reply. I'm trying to wrap my head around why possibly I would use a 2 watt and 470ohm? The manufacture puts in a 1 watt and they worked no issue's for the last 30 years plus in this amp. The screen appears really only uses milliamps on that line, no where near the 1 watt. The...

    50/50 High Plates Voltage

    Came up with this link: Bias mod on a 50/50 : how to do A few years back the pictures were available but appears not any more. I'm interested but a little slow to get started doing this. Last year a plate resistor burned out, had to change tube and resistor. Can't remember any values. Hopefully...
