Adamant - No worries! Glad I could be of assistance to ya! God knows while I was trying to find my tone on my own without the help of all these great Mesa owners, I went through my struggles (see Frail Words Collapse...'cough'...haha)! Another thought is the compressor up front (not in the...

zappaslaughter - Thanks for bring to light a possible negative to this specific function of the LS series as it pertains to Channel 1. To everyone, here's what I found in a live situation: Effect Loop setting at 11:30-1 o'clock: Nice meaty, yet airy and defined gain on Channel 2 (with...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I got my LSC back from Mesa yesterday and it still wasn't completely right. Its been a 6 month saga of issues from start to finish. Mesa narrowed my issue down to a broken circuit in the channel 2 drive switch and a full replacement of all power tubes...

+1 on the FWC tone not being the greatest. We were all pretty young, self producing the record and had a certain sound in our heads for the guitars (At The Gates). A Les Paul Studio with an EMG 81 and a ESP H-1000 was used with the amp setup I mentioned above to provide the main gain tones...

I know I'm a little late to the game, but here goes... In reference to you AILD level gain, it really depends which record you want to model your base tone on, but +1 on a Maxon OD808 in front of the amp. AILD uses the EMG 81/85 combos in their guitars. Don't rule out the use of a 10-band EQ in...

King.bee - Check the forum below: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=24173 This thread was related to the issues I had with my LSC, which at this time has yet to be resolved. My LSC is currently at Mesa and they have yet to find a resolution. We tried a set of new power tubes, new...

Thanks and no problem about that :) I think I was about 9 hours into looking at this on Saturday and was a little loopy :) I received the correct cable and was still having issues with the footswitch and I believe it is the jack. I'll know a little more by saturday. Take Care! jasun

Sorry for the delay guys! I took it into GC today (the guy I dealt with was off for 3 days) and we got everything all figured out on this. The drive on channel 2 issue due to a combo of a bad power tube and fuse. I guessed I missed this somehow. Once we swapped the tubes, the 4A 120v fuse...

Upon further testing, all this hum, popping and noise is only present when the Drive is engaged on Channel 2. If I turn it off, no noise, hum or popping. Also, if I have it on, this is when my volume issues return. I found a few Mesa stock 12AX7s I had left over from my retube of my Rectoverb...

Tube bias is set at 6L6 (I am using the stock Mesa 6L6s). Hum is present with reverb down on both channels (tried both warm and bright just to make sure it wasn't the switch either). Hum is much more prevalent when loop is set to Hard Bypass (almost deafening). Stranger now, I have unplugged...

Thanks for the suggestions! Here's an update... I attempted to tackle the volume issue first. Unplugged the footswitch to eliminate that as a possible cause. Strayed contact cleaner on an instrument cable and worked it in and out of the effects loop send and receive jacks (did it on all...

Okay, so I just bought a sweet looking Blonde Tolex/Chocolate Grill 50/100 Lonestar Classic from GC a few hours ago and I am already having problems with it! The sound is amazing, but I have two problems and I am starting to get really frustrated!! 1 - Switching issues - My solo button doesn't...

Kiss My Axe - I would give The "Ask Larry" thread on Incubus' Forum a try. Larry is Mike's guitar tech since the Make Yourself days. He chimes in about every 2-3 weeks...

If I remember correctly, a C-Code is a clearance code used by Mesa which sets the price at a clearance price set by Mesa Boogie. Before the first, the clearance price was $999, but it is now $1210.65. The problem lies in the fact that they want me to purchase an additional two years on the...

ja22y - Thanks for the reply and the info! The amp is brand new in the box at GC; not floor model or used. The current 5 year warranty on new products still apply, so their tacking on an extra 2 years to that (so 7 years total). I've been checking craigslist (San Diego, LA, Orange County...

I picked up a pre-1000 2 Ch. DR Rackmount from a a pro musician here in San Diego back in '96 and because of some hard times in '01, sold it to a friend who then sold it to mutual aquaintence. I have regetted that sale since I made it and have been trying to convince him to sell it back to me...

So, I went ahead and put the LSC 50/100 1x12 with cover, footswitch and casters for $1210.65 on layaway. Too bad they had just taken off the clearance price of $999 on the 1st. Here's the catch...to get the discounted price, GC made me pay for an additional 2 years Mesa warranty ($159.99) so...

Thanks all!! I decided to go with the 1x12 50/100 Blue LSC. With the possiblity of picking up a used late 80's tele for $650, I just can't justify spending the extra scratch on the 10-watt option and an additional speaker. I'm running it in combo with a front loaded V30 equipped 2x12 anyways...

No problem, man. Like a lot of the people on this board, I've gone through it seems like everything to find my "grailtone". Glad I could be of some help! jasun

Dang it!! You beat me to it! I saw that on Ebay and was going to make a concerned effort to pick that up. Been sick for the past couple days and completely forgot about it... Let us know how it sounds!!
