No, and you couldn't if you wanted to.There is no bias adjustment on LSS or any modern Mesa to my knowledge. Check your manual for Mesa's explanation of this. Also, if you order your JJ's from Eurotubes, be sure to email/talk with them and they will set you up with tubes for your style and amp.

Forgive my ignorance but what is "REH"? :)

I use a G-Major (primarily for delay type of effects, not modulation) but don't use it in the effects loop. I prefer to use the slave out on the LSS to the Gmajor (wet signal only) to a power amp then to a separate cab (or just slave it to another combo). I also like to have other effects in...

Congratulations! I heartily agree with you on all points. The JJ's make a HUGE difference for the better in this amp. They do clean up the mud. I just keep my original Mesa tubes as backups.

You may have tried this, but stick your old tubes back in and see if it goes away. If it does, order you some JJ's from Eurotubes. :)

Hi stu-LSS and welcome to the board. I totally agree with ylo on all points made. I own a LSS 1x12 and you just have to take the time to tweak it to suit your guitar and taste. Before playing out with mine, I bought a whole set of JJ tubes from Bob at Eurotubes. If you email him and tell him...

Here's one site: http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/ Let us know how they do. I'm still skeptical. :)

According to Bob at eurotubes, all tubes in a combo will eventually rattle, especially if you're driving it hard. It's just the nature of the beast. I've also looked at the "o-ring" option but I don't see how these would really help drastically since your tube is still suspended from the socket...

The treble and presence controls play a HUGE parts in the tone of this amp. I think with some tweaking you can come pretty close. You gotta know also that what you hear professionally recorded has had that secret "studio" button pushed. :D ...You know...Eq'd ...mastered...etc. Just find...

Here's a link to the original issue I was having.If your issue, diagnosis is the same, maybe this will help. Let me know if any other questions. http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=298

Have you tried putting your foot against the front of the amp, right at Mesa logo? Does the sound stop? Some of the cabs have a problem with the screw heads coming loose on the inside.

That's intresting. I bought my LSS last year at GC under the 12 month same as cash promo with no hassle and didn't have to by a non-Mesa product. As a matter of fact, the salesman was the one who let me know about the deal. It doesn't matter to Mesa or GC, they get their money for the product...

I have a Legacy cab with V30's and it sounds great. I agree that the v30's alone are great speakers. I just ordered a Avatar G112 with a Hellatone 30. I just wanted antoher speaker to hook to my LSS 1x12 that was small and light weight. I'm sure it will sound fine. Let's just face it, like Dave...

You are joking, aren't you? Did you determine this after the first or fourth guitar? :) I don't have anything against them but the fact that their stuff has "CARVIN" in big letters across it. Yea, I'm a victim of media hype. If there were many big artists swinging carvin's around their necks and...

I grew up and live in the Athens area. I don't think we know each other unless we met at a music store in Athens or Atlanta. Where do you play? I have played some at Athens Church which is a partner with Northpoint Community Church. Other than that I play with friends and in my little studio...
