My mesa DC10 is making my ears bleed.
How can i get the tube saturation and cut the volume in half?

Even with mesas master volume, between 1.1 and 1.3 is so sensative, I can't really crank the amp up for saturation where I want it to be. And the amp at 2.5 chan, 3 master, drowns out just about anything on the planet.
I guess we'll have to see. Those THD things are beyond expensive

I have a Mark IV and if I switch it to 30 watts only using the outside tubes you are saying the ohms switch to 4 or are you saying you have to pull the tubes out completely. I didn't think someone would make a amp like that which could cause that 8 ohm speaker to blow running 4 ohms in it. The reason I ask is I was thinking about buying a THD hot plate for my amp and you have to buy them with knowing what ohms you are running.jamme61 said:Volume is a pain, i had the same problem. i like the weber better then the THD but I like yellow jackets even more. It's all a coprimise but the YJ worked best for me when i had a MKIV volume problem. You can pull two of the power tubes too but, you have to half your ohms. So if your running a 8 ohm cab and you pull two of the power tubes you run it at 4 ohms. a set of YJ's is around $100 uless you buy used. The new boogies have a 5 watt option (thank you!!!) Volume = tone it's always a struggle even 5 watts is loud and you got 100, yikes. good luck
