Would it be safe or ideal to run a parametric EQ from the speaker output on a dual rec to a parametric EQ, then from there to the cab? Or is in the loop the better option? What are the pros and cons of each?

I'm not sure how this would work seeing as the only pedals I've seen feed one input to two outputs, because with my setup, it won't work properly. I want to run two preamps into a single 295 power amp. From the power amp, I'm running a single speaker cable from the 8ohm output on the 295 into a...

What is the 'brown' sound that I hear so much about? I have no idea what it means.

I'd buy one if I had extra cash, definitely. I really meant which section on a Quad since we can choose between the iic+ and the iii section. I agree though, so far it's the iic+ section for leads and the iii section for rhythm. Though, like I said I've been able to get good rhythm tones out of...

Perfect answer :D You hit the nail on the head because I was a little worried at having the 'devastation' that you mentioned. The context of a mix is what I was talking about since I work in a studio, not really a live player, so that's good to hear.

We all know the Mark IIc+ wins on leads :D but what do you think wins for rhythm? The Mark iii section? I'm talking about in the Quad pre. I've been able to get some nice metal rhythm tones out of the iic+ section though... What do you think?

Have any of you done a side by side comparison of Mesa gear? I mean like something from a Rectifier series compared to a Mark series, back to back. I'm wondering which one of these is going to push more air, as in harder sounding, not louder. Presence, kick, punch, whatever you want to call it...

I lost the fuse, no where in sight. The thing is that they've got different sizes of the same model so that's what I was alluding to. Not sure what size to get.

Still need to know this guys!

Bump. Need to know!

I forget the exact kind of fuse that 50/50s use. There's a model, but there's also a certain size. I need to pick up a few of these in the next few days.

The quad pre and I think the studio pre as well have some very different kinds of bass/mid/treble controls on them. I'm wondering if adding a hardware EQ unit to my rack will help me get to where I'm going. When recording it would be nice to go straight to the hardware EQ and not have to worry...

High gain metal riffage! Something powerful enough to be death metal, but, not really death metal. I'm mainly looking to use this amp as a total riffer amp. I want some of the chuggachuggachugga balls to the wall metal riffage sound going on.

I read everything above, and I know it's nothing to do with me really, but my personal setup will be a tad different. I'm going to be using this as my main amp (for the time being), so that means practicing with it at very low volumes. I know you've got to crank it a bit to get a good sound, but...

Sounds perfect. I'll give it a shot, I've got a dual rec on the way.
