Hi, Hopefully this post isn't redundant, as I posted it a few minutes ago, but it is no where to be seen, so I thought I'd give it another go in the event I did something worng.
I have a couple of questions concerning the Mesa LSS. I recently bought one (new), and am still figuring it out out, as it seems to be fairly well documented the time it takes to get to know this amp. I have read about the reeder mod, and want to know if - what some describe - as an over midrangy done in Ch 2, is more of an issue with earlier LSS, or is it still an issue with the current production? I have already started asking myself what a Celestion G12 Gold alNico would sound like in there, as I put one (a G10) in my PRRI, and again, the difference is huge (for the better).
As an alternative, is it possible to control the mid range in channel two with a tube swap, and if so, what tubes have users tried, and liked?? I have a Fender PRRI, and I found that by swapping out the stock 6V6 GTs and and the 12AX7 GTs for Tung Sols, had a dramatic effect. I went one step further, and put a 12AY7 in V1, as the PRRI has a known reputation for farting out with the volume past 5/10. It can now be played at 10 (if I want to!).
Thanks for your time. Regards, Jared Purdy
