My group imploded so I brought my gear from the rehearsal space back home. I wanted to get separate pics up but just never got around to it. Now that it is all together, I had to get at least one pic up.
hey i see you have the studio preamp. how is it for you? every review i read was absolutely steller, supposed to be the smoothest sounding thing ever, but i got mine and it sounds crappy!. i have a mark iv so i know a bit about how to tweak these amps. the sound is just kinda flubby. muddy lows , muddy mids, and muddy highs. i had it through a recto 2:100, didnt sound real good, with the modern engaged , worse again. although my other preamps , jmp-1 and voodoo lab pre sound great through the 2:100.
im gonna return my 2:100 and go for another 2:90 i guess , or would one of the other mesa power amps be a better choice?
then put the studio through the return of my mark iV and it sounded quite a bit better, fuller, thicker. but still not good enough. it also squeals terribly with feedback when i turn the output up past 2!, with master and volume on middle settings, 4 and 6, 3 and 7 ...
i wonder if theres something wrong with mine?
it also completely cut out (no sound) several times when i first plugged in.
