That's a shame, the FM3 seems like some top notch stuff. Do you have 2nd input at line level? Do you piss off drummers with that volume? 😅

The Lexicon MPX-R1. I had the MPX-G2 once, with the jmp-1 and triaxis, but the JP2C/Helix combo stomps it by a mile. The MPX-G2 was the first, however, to incorporate the whole 4CM thing, so I have a huge respect for it. I was looking at the FBC1010 with the extra EEPROM for momentary...

That is a sweet set up, I was actually considering getting the core myself! I'm coming from a Rocktron, so I like not having to deal with scenes, and I very much like the 1-128 numbering instead of 01A-32D. I think the Core is the only other FX that lets me do that. Plus, I like the idea of 10...

Personally, I don't see what the problem is. Your posts are very informative, and one can simply choose to skip it if one wants. Better more knowledge/opinions than none.

Will you have to pay for shipping if it's a Mesa fault under warranty? I've never shipped to them, and have done only local (15 -30 miles) repairs in the past. It's a good thing it's going to Mesa's hands, I would feel safe.

Man, fine tuning the compressor really honed in on some great clean tones. I think I have the pop thing when switching, but only the first time around, I'll verify with faster midi foot switching. If so, not a big deal, just have to do the channel sweep at start up, like the rectos. Now that I'm...

****, are you able to swap preamp tubes before you spend the shipping $ + service? I hope it's just that. But if it's under warranty, do they pay for shipping? Might as well, huh? Or a local authorized tech?

Holy cow, what a combo! I forgot how awesome it is to have high gain with no noise! Ha ha. Just using a couple things now, but wow, what a difference. Compressor for the cleans: no more hitting a chord and getting thrown to the back wall. Hard gate on the brutal high gain, I'm using Ola's...

I seem to notice a stark difference now between ch 2 presence pulled (10-11 o'clock), and ch3 presence pushed (noonish). Maybe you might prefer presence pushed, it's way bassier: I have to lower EQ2 (I use it with ch3) more than EQ1 80hz. It might kill what you perceive as "buzz".

I have been a huge fan of Ola since 12 years ago! He gets the chug tones well. I usually try to be more conservative with the eq, but I tried the Ola setting (T-10, M-0, B-0), and I'm hooked! No turning back now! Chug chug chug...

Since I have the STR443s in mine, I probably also have the Schumachers in it too. How can I tell? I was wondering about the volumes: at 9o'clock, it's a loud TV volume. My old MKIV would have leveled buildings at 9. Different taper?

That is an amazing set up!!! I bet it sounds killer. Yeah, active tone is not as good as passives for lead tone, or to volume roll-off, but I am addicted to the tight thrashy palm-muted grind of actives, and there's no turning back. I did confirm that I do not like the 81, but I love the 57. I'm...

Whoa! You were right on the mark! Yup, they're 443s. I fully enjoyed your expose on power tubes, very enlightening, and makes me wanna roll some Mesas to hear the differences. Ha ha, looks like I was suffering from hearing hangover when hearing Marshall in a Mesa. Bwahahahaha! I guess I was...

Why do you need a midi hub? Can't you just use different midi channels for each device, then daisy chain? That would be much easier I would think. Unless your switcher can't isolate and control just one/more midi channels with midi chain outputs. what kind of switcher? Even if not, you could...

Wow that is a super nice collection! I like how you have the JP2C white front panel with matching cab. Delicious! I just got another splittable EMG81 to try out for brutal tones, and I'm in the process of installing D activators with parallel/phase options. I really want to mess with the clean...

Warning: total fanboi lengthy just-plugged-in-once-and-i'm-too-****-excited review commencing: Holy ****, I was not expecting this at all. Plenty of punchy bass, and dynamics(?) of this magnitude even though a lot of claims of this amp are of a flatter compressed nature. And ... somehow...

I don't know where this is, but if it's like the mk iv mid gain/harmonics switch, it's a cathode bypass cap/s on one of the later stages. If that were the case, you could implement a switch just like that, with the caps of your choice. Maybe a higher value with a resistor in series to lower the...

Not sure what you mean by "adding signal" and "both stages of the signal". It seems pull deep is permanently activated on the JP2C, whereas on the IIC+, you can deactivate it. Have you tried Stephan's idea yet? All that matters is if it sounds good or not, not what may or may not be dictated as...

In that video, he's got the reverb on a gain channel, then switches to the clean, and the dirty reverb swell sound comes up very obviously. So that sucks. But in a perhaps more common way of using reverb, would it also do that? Meaning, drenched reverb on the clean, but dry dirties - would the...

If the schematics online are correct, the pull deep is on the cathode of the make up stage after the verb and loop. So yup, you are doubling up on the pull deep. Doesn't it sound very too scoopish, woompie? I once went out of the slave out of a triple rec to a poweramp/cab in addition to the...
