Brief & Accurate Description of Gear: I'm not 100% sure I'm going to sell this, so just looking to gauge interest. I have a TriAxis incoming and I want to see that it covers the same bases this covers for me before I commit to a sale. This preamp sounds amazing and if you have a stereo setup you...

I'm actually looking into retubing my 50-50 as well. Previous owner has some Ruby Tubes in there which I always thought sounded like *** in other amps but sound pretty good in this one. I had Sovtek WXLT+s in my Mark IV that were selected for Mesa's Bias range and they sounded pretty huge and...

Bringing this one back from the grave as I just recently picked up a Mesa Quad and was considering how best to proceed on this myself. SO comparing the Quad positions against the tube layout from the Mesa Mark IV (close enough for comparison): PAGE 17 Description of Tube Functions V1A= Input...

Awesome man! Congrats! I'm back in Mesa Boogie land myself (just picked up a Quad pre). Hope you enjoy the hell out of it!

No problem, good to hear it was something simple. :D

The Peavey is a solid-state amp. Even cranking full output it would nowhere near approach the level of SPLs the Mesa is cable of delivering. The mid-scoop on the Boogie in the traditional "V" formation only removes a small section of mid frequencies (not the low-mids or high-mids), so cutting is...

Yea, recommended settings, with Master on 3 should be stupid loud. My Mark IVb combo was easily overpowering the drummer on 1 with similar settings to Clean/Crunch/Lead settings (the first recommended settings in the Mark IV manual). I think you might need to get that amp checked out. Before...

To each their own. Personally I am not a fan of the Roland JC clean tone, so I really didn't get on with my Cube 60 when I had it. I messed around with my Nomad for weeks and tried various preamp tubes and EQ combinations and I could not get a clean tone that really spoke to me. Other people...

Actually, yes. I have a Mustang III and was able to directly compare it to both a Nomad 45, F50 and Express 5:50. Honestly, the Mustang sounds amazingly good clean. If you put a little effort into it, you can actually get better cleans than the Nomad or F and one that is pretty on-par with the...

:bump:

Brief & Accurate Description of Gear: Good used condition, not many marks in the tolex. Handle has a couple of splits in the exterior wrap but is structurally sound. Modifications (if any): Original speakers replaced with new Celestion Vintage 30s (Made in UK). Parallel to serial effects loop...

Noise is probably not the right word for what I am describing. Basically, I had too low of a preamp signal so I had a much less defined pre-signal feeding into the power amp.

I actually played around with my Nomad a bit more and I think it might be that I was just running my channel volume too low so the power section was amplifying a bit more noise than it should. I did another comparison to the Vintage 30 and Governor and the low-end is rather similar so I think...
