Hey. New to the board but I need answers quick! I have a Mesa triple Rectifier 3 channel head. I recently got it fixed because there was no volume output at all. Only a slight amount of volume, and nothing worked to turn it up. I got the head for free because of this problem from a friend, who's dog pee'd in it a year or so back. He sent it out to mesa and they "cleaned" the board for $200. It worked fine up until this problem happened, then he traded me a guitar i had for it.
The tech i took it to said it needed some parts for a circuit board..yada yada. So he fixed it, and it ran me back $265. I thought "SWEET, mesa triple rec for $300." I bring it to my jam space, plug everything in.
Same...problem. :|
So i take my pedal board out, unplug the EFX loop, and it works fine, only it sounds like absolute ****, terrible tone, choppy muddy sounds when the channel volume is anywhere from 12 o clock to 3 o clock. No idea what it could be.
I tried putting a patch cable from the send to return, and it worked fine. But when i plug in my rack equip...it doesnt work. I tried using each piece by itself, i rewired everything 4/5 times. I even tested all the cables. I tried the rack on another head and it worked fine.
I was going to try and replace the V4 and V5 preamp tubes. But with it working with the patch cable, but not working with the rack I'm stuck.
I'm running:
guitar - boss DD20 - boss NS2 - head
Send - korg rack tuner - BBE sonic max - return
Does anyone have any idea what this could be??? I need answers quick I have a show friday :shock:
Thanks.
