Wow, got my new JJ's tubes and got the gain knob situation resolved. NOW it's a totally different amp. Whatever idiot worked on this in the past didn't just switch the pots like I thought. He soldered the clean channel to the lead channel's gain pot and vice-versa. Since the lead channel has all...

Does it persist without a guitar plugged in? Sounds like preamp microphonics to me as well.

Thanks for the information. Of course, the Amazon page didn't show bias or voltage settings, so I'm hoping that there is some documentation that comes with the 6L6GC's. Perhaps I'll have an amp technician fix the gain knob and just install the tubes while he's at it. I'll look for an...

Thanks a lot, Blaklynx! Yeah, I quickly found out that it's not quite the high-gain monster I was looking for, but the cascaded drives on a supreme clean sound fantastic, very much like I was looking for. I'll keep experimenting though, obviously. Authorized Boogie, Someone apparently worked...

I now know that I may have wasted my money on the preamp tubes, but the price was right on Amazon.com, so I just went for it. Being that it's my first Mesa (well, I...

I picked up a used Rect-O-Verb 50 v.2 head today. I know that all Mesa's take a bit of time and patience to "dial in", but I'm hoping that someone can help me find that awesome crunch tone. I'm also thinking of re-tubing it and I'm wondering what the recommended tube brand would be. I'm thinking...

Just to add a little more info, I've read in the manual that this is normal IF you're using the effects loop and have the switch set to "Loop In". I don't and this is still happening.

I'm curious about this myself. If someone can hook me up, e-mail to [email protected].

All, I picked up a used Stiletto Trident this evening at Guitar Center. Everything (so far) on the amp works fine, except the Output and Solo knobs do nothing at all. I am a complete n00b with Mesa's, as this is my first one. Is this a known issue that's easily resolved? I can always take it...
