    Need advice on Triaxis & 2:90 tonal palette setting

    I have a 5150 combo which I've had for almost 20 years and love. I also have a love affair with my Triaxis/2:90 combination thru a 5150 4x12 cabinet. Do any of you Triaxis/ 2:90 users have any setting I can use as a starting point to achieve the "brown sound"? Yes, I know they are two entirely...

    Retubing a 2:90 and Triaxis...

    I'm planning on retubing both devices. (I contacted Mesa and they said not to worry about the 12AX7's inside the 2:90.) My plan was to retube the Triaxis with standard JJ's but I'm not sure about the 6L6's. I've read every post I could find and contacted The Tube Store and Tube Depot. I'm...

    Shadow "Kill Pot" 500K = CRAP

    I just purchased it and had it professionally installed on a Music Man Axis because the wiring diagram is nebulous at best to try to do it yourself. After a day, I noticed 2 huge headaches: 1) These pots are not "audio taper pots" which lower volume consistently over the entire knob turn...

    5150 Combo puzzler...

    I am the original owner of a 5150 Combo circa mid 90's. Of late, the reverb is getting weaker and weaker. Upon examination when I dropped the chassie to inspect, I noticed only one reverb spring left. I guess the others rusted and fell out over all the years of moving the amp. Does anyone know...

    FX in conjunction Triaxis and 2:90 question...

    I'm looking for opinions to this question: I currently us my FX looped thru the Triaxis and it seems OK. I've read that putting the FX between the Triaxis and 2:90 is another option. Would any of you care the share the positives and negatives of each configuration? My Triaxis currently at Mesa...

    Triaxis issue again... need advice

    In May of 2010, I shipped my older Triaxis back to Mesa for a complete overhaul including a new ribbon cable, some solders and a new touchpad membrane. Mesa gave it a clean bill of health and everything seemed to work perfect. This unit sat in a rack untouched and has under 24 hours of use over...

    2:90 question...

    I have a minor question about the 2:90... I know the 2:90 has an internal 12AX7 inside the unit which lasts a long time. When this tube is failing, how does it manifest itself so I truly know the tube is the issue and not something else? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    PRS Torero... is it worth looking into?

    I'm thinking about acquiring a black Torero. I find the neck thru body, bound fretboard, original Floyd Rose, ebony fretboard and active EMG's a very appealing combination for the price point of around $1000. I'd like to get input from Torero owners as to the pros and cons of this instrument. I...

    Triaxis issue... need prompt advice...

    I have an old triaxis which is behaving badly and wanted advice before I pull it and most likely ship back to Mesa in Petaluma. On a cold start up, preset and channel/program LEDs went blank after about 30 seconds, a static sound and quiet popping sound occurred and all the presets on levels...

    Advice on Racks themselves...

    I was hoping if any of the board members could give their 2¢ on racks. I currently use an 8 space commercial made plywood rack to house a triaxis, 2:90, and 4 other single space processors. Needless to say, the weight is a real ***** especially with the 2:90 loaded in the bottom. My fear is that...

    EBMM AXIS/EVH Modifications...

    Hey Everyone, This has been gnawing at me for some time and I need to find out if others feel this way. I own 3 EBMM guitars: A genuine EVH, A very early AXIS (right after loss of endorsement) and a late model AXIS. Here is the issue(s): 1) I've noticed a general degradation in manufacturing...

    Strange Acting Triaxis...

    Hello Boogie Board Brethren, I am a brand new poster and a new convert to Mesa Boogie. I have viewed this board many times and I'm delighted to be part of it. Since Mesa in Petaluma is exceeding slow on returning calls, I've opted to plead my case to the seasoned Triaxis users and get your...
