There's one of 3 ways as described: 1. Add an EQ in the loop, such as an MXR 10 band. Adjust EQ with in an upside down V shape, boosting the mids. You may want to cut the bass a little as well to cut through more. Adjust Output Level higher for additional volume. Engage when time for solo...

New speakers need a break-in period to sound their best. I suspect Mesa will say the same thing. Don't expect a new V30 to sound like your road-worn V30 at this stage. Give it some time. http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=49767...

Of course you can. Any preamp can be used in an amps loop. Connect Send (or output) of preamp into Return (or In) of amp's loop and plug guitar into the input of the Quad preamp. You'll effectively bypass the amps own preamp section and replace it with the Quad preamp. That's it. If you had a...

I don't have a triple but did have a Rectoverb II and now own a Roadster head w/2 2x12's, so give or take, close enough to your triple. Distortion should be plenty by 11 o'clock. Not saturated but should really have a decent growl to it. So, let's assume your amp is OK in terms of tubes /...

Hi MesaMad... You're not clear with your details so I'll provide two answers: 1. You have two amps but only one cab? Tonebone (Radial Engineering) make the Headbone VT. You need to be cautious with time based effects in the amps effects loop, though (read the details of this switcher)...

I don't have either of the amps you're after but I do have the Roadster. My suggestion, if at all possible for you, would be to buy the MR before selling off the Mark. Test side by side and then make a decision. It's very difficult to make a judgment call when hearing only one amp and trying to...

Buy your basic rig first (I'm assuming new since you're looking at TC-100) and when you're sure you want stereo buy later on as second hand gear. Stereo may not be the 'be all, end all' after the honeymoon period. You should buy the amp you want as the main amp first. You mention two amps -...

A bit more info on how you play; you like soloing? I'll get back to that. I have the Roadster head so I'll throw in my 2 cents. First, the Roadster combo is a H-E-A-V-Y amp. Check the specs. The Head is reasonably heavy on it's own at around 22kg. A 2x12 Cab is around 27.5kg and 'reasonably'...

Don't forget scrap metals.... car parts, sheet roofing, plumbing pipes.... any and every piece of metal from friends / family that can add to a trailer load over time. Take to scrap yard and get some cash. Another neat trick: loose change. Throw in a jar every day or once per week. You'd be...

Some advice I got years ago......"Don't turn your cash into trash." What's it mean?..... Don't buy; garbage products, trashy jewellery, irrelevant things because you 'want' it, and a host of other things. You'd be surprised how much money goes out the door on 'trash' stuff. Buying lunch...

Reaper is good. Last time I checked it was free. Download and install..... it's a pretty light weight app. You can only try. I think you can even run it from a USB stick. RAM is important.... the i7 should handle the CPU side. I've got an i7-3770 @3.40GHz with 32GB of RAM running Cakewalk X2...

You should be able to. The 2i2 has monitor outs (line level outs). You probably need to flick a switch/toggle within the Focusrite software (or your DAW software) or a hardware toggle to activate monitor in/out. Also check Windows OS (I'm assuming Windows) for the computers default 'Playback...

Let's be 100% clear.... If both amps are switched on (both powered on and Standby ON), then you need a proper head switcher such as the radial unit. The head that is not in use will need to see a load (speaker load or any resistor load) otherwise you run the risk of blowing the transformer. If...

You could try something like a Rocktron Patchmate Loop 8 or equivalent from RJM or Voodoo Labs. These could do all your loop switching plus they can do other switching. Probably best to use a loop switcher for all your effects and to change amp functions use something like the RJM miniamp Gizmo...

Easy to replace. Youtube has plenty of DIY Here's two. Search for more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tva8k4ErfSo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKkrjWPVz9I Tools usually required: screw driver Philips head driver knife or wire stripper wire cutters or pliers to cut wire Just make sure...

For the Stiletto I'm not 100% sure what the differences are. Maybe below links can help: http://www.rig-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68518 http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=13725&highlight=stiletto+thread There's also two series of the Rectoverb 50 combo (I think the head version...

hi riffpowers... Welcome. Hmmm.... a couple of interesting points you make about the recto amp. From most peoples experience, the recto amps aren't considered 'quite smooth' and 'single notes sing', however, for how you play and what you need it for it may be fine for you. As for the type of...

You're correct. It has the IEC cable. I would've taken photos of mine but here's a few images I found on the net: http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz261/bhurst462/IMG00088-20101005-1833.jpg https://donstickguitar.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/image6.jpeg?w=1000...

The gizmo is cable tied on the grille. As far as I know, the grille is standard. Mesa must've changed from bar to grille at some stage or maybe it was a requirement for Australian sale (?) I just saw two for sale in a local ad. One has the exact same grille as my amp and the other one is...
