Thanks for the info. You said that current Mesa are JJ's. What are older ones? I think the Mesa 12ax7 I have are about 10 years old. Comparing the 2 Mesa branded 12ax7's, they look different.

Thanks for your information and input. I've replaced the JJ's with Mesa's and put a Tung Sol in V1.

I haven't got a chance to crank it yet but I'd like to ask a few qustions about the tubes I found in it. In the V positions all are mesa tubes except for V3 and V5 which are JJ's. Why would JJ's be in those positions. There are Groove Tubes GT 6L6 R in all 4 positions and Mesa 5U4GB in the other...

I went to rehearsal last night with my new loop jacks installed and bingo!! Cleans are back and volume seems to be way louder that it was!! I'm happy it all worked out...just have to tweek my setting a bit more and I'm good to go!!! I hope I don't have any more of these issues!!

I got a call from my amp tech and he said the the problem was coming from the effects loop jacks. I did run straight through like you suggested but left the loop jacks plugged in...I know I know...I should've taken the jacks out. My tech is going to replace the loop jacks with the gold plated...

Yes. I ran straight through and no change.

I cleaned v1 and v2 with contact cleaner as you suggested and tried it at rehearsal last night and no change. Still terrible cleans. So its off to the repair man and then possibly up for sale. I love the tone from the triple but if its causing this many problems than you might see it on ebay or...

Thank You for all your time and help. I'll let you know the results soon. Would rubbing alcohol work instead of contact cleaner?

Yes. Pushed setting has a nice crunch but on clean it sounds less crunch and more break up.

Yes i checked the EL34/6L6 switch. It is correct. The other channels sound right. I've tried different outlets and 2 different cabs. Its does it wil all guitars. I'm afraid the best way to discribe the distorion is like the "Pushed" switch on, but not as pushed. Kind of like running out of head...

I am taking it to a tech soon. If it's going to cost too much to fix then ill probably go out and buy one of the two amps I mentioned. This is the third time in one year that I've had to take it in for repair. Each time it's been for something different. It's getting a bit frustrating.

Hi All. I have a Triple recto 3 channel that i'm having issues with the clean channel. Basically the clean sounds overdriven. No matter what I've tried to do with the settings, tubes, switches, knobs etc. i can't get any cleans out of this head. I'm considering switching to a Roadster or a Mark...

Try this. When its feed backing, put your finger on the pup and push down on it without touching the strings. if the noise goes away or is reduced then the pup is too loose in the guitar cavity. Try stuffing some foam underneath the pup and see what happens. This is a common problem with active...

Hi everyone. I've reading a lot of great info on this forum but If someone could help me on my serial number and tell me roughly how old and what rev. if there is any, this is. I have a three channel Triple Recto. and the number is R-020953. Thanks for your help.

Wow....That was hilarious. One of the comments I read was "Congratulations, you made your $2000.00 amp sound like a $75 distortion pedal" HAHAHAHAHA LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!! My $30 Dean Markley practice amp sounds better than that.
