Hello, my first post and my first Mesa. I just picked this baby up from a used store here in Ottawa. I went through a lot to get this thing, had to sell one of my guitars, anyway I am having a few problems and I am afraid I may have to bring it back. Now since the amp was on consignment, there is no warranty, however I do have 3 days to try it out, and so far day one hasn't been good to me. Visually the amp looks immaculate. Now here are the problems.
1) When turning the Standby switch on/off, I hear a popping sound, kinda scary. It is kinda loud...
2) This amp does not like my M13 at all. I did as the manual said (turn the effect mix high, adjust the wet/dry on amp) however, the pre-effects, do nothing, at least as far as I can tell. For example, I wanted to add a little boost for leads, tried, OD, Boost Comp, etc, but no difference...so far I can live with these troubles, since I purchased this as a back up amp.
3) Here is the biggy. The amp seems to loose and gain volume (phasing in and out). At first I thought it was the Effects Loop. So I tried the guitar directly into the amp, and the problem was still there. This was after about an hour or so of playing with the amp. I really want to like this amp but I don't know, any thoughts? Thanks!
