Got a T-Verb today, any advice?

[Steve K]

Besides never sell it?

Purchased from the Pittsburgh area, I drove 3+ hours one way to get it - and wasn't leaving without it! Heard good things about them and so far with the half hour of low level, family friendly volume - I can see why so many like it and cant wait to crank it up a bit more!

Being a newbie here ( Hello everyone !) I'd like to ask for advice and comments to help me along with the T-Verb. I own three other Mesa one being a RKII, and I discover something new about it every time I plug it in... Some observations about the T-Verb: It has 4x 6L6 mesa branded tubes with the word "blue" on the sockets. Has the large 5u4g rec tubes and a non detachable power cord. I was hoping of finding a way to get the production date or revision if anyone would be kind enough to tell me or point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Thanks,
Steve

Love it, nice set of amps there man

My experience of tremoverb is keep the gain moderate levels like around noon - give or take a bit, on the red channel with a fair bit of volume that will be real heavy sound, on the orange channel i like it for solos.
Blues channel is my favourite channel in the amp. Lovely and smooth.
Probably not much help to ya as you alrady have a roadking (which has similar sounds in it) but anyway, welcome to the board and glad you got a tremoverb - I wish i could let mine loose more often..

Thanks for the tips. I got to crank it up today and after a couple minutes the orange channel suddenly dropped to barely audible - The red works just fine. I figure it could be a preamp tube and I'll try and call tech support later in the day to see if they could assist. If I can get the bugs ironed out, the RKII may be looking for a new home..

Well..I tried replacing v1 and no joy. I'm going to try the rest of the preamp tubes then if nothing, have to suspect the dreaded LDR issue..

When you get it running right make sure you check out the full range of gain in every mode .... it is very versatile.
