fwiw I have a 'switchbone' and I used to use it to switch between my fender hot rod deluxe and my mesa f30. Radial makes a good product, it always worked Flawlessly !! They also have another, which has come out supposedly made specifically for 'tube' amps. They are expensive but worth the...

looks good !! Maybe I'll get to it this weekend and post back if I like the sound better. I would think that it would have to sound better without that cable pouch Are you planning to re-attach the pouch for the cords etc. on the back side of the lower panel ? Or are you just going to...

It seems as though you were already on that road........ I just got you to the end quicker. But you're welcome. That's what these forums are for. to share ideas .. thoughts. Anyway, can you post a coulpe of pics as you have changed it ? I'm curious to see exactly what you have got there. It...

Bill brings up a good point - I know I have seen a couple of posts where folks are saying that their experience has been this rectifier tube going south is a common issue with these amps but like him I have been playing mine everyday for at at leeast 1- 3 hours, sometimes longer. This has...

Yup, just had the same issue the 5Y3 Rectifier tube, replaced it - problem solved. I bought an extra one when I sent for mine from Torres relatively good price - Russian Sovtek. I have to agree this amp is well worth it. It is a very sweet sounding amp. Glad to see all is well. Zeemo

I have an f30 and love it. ........One thing I wonder about though is whether or not the pouch in the back for the footswitch and cords takes away from the sound. I mean, if you look at it, the pouch covers the whole lower half of the speaker in the back of the basket. do you think this has...

Reaper is definately the way to go .... I just switched to Reaper after being a Cubase VST user for about 5 years or more. The cool thing is that reaper costs alot less and is just as useful (if not more) than the big named higher priced programs. Also an excellent drum program is EZ Drummer...

Recieved the 5Y3 rectifier tubes from Torres today -Sovtek russian. amp is singing sweetly again - I'm in boogie heaven. Just thought I would share.............. The F30 still is a screamer though. then again, when I fired up the LSS there was no 'getting used to it' period. It just sounds...

Used the F30 tonight at rehearsal, man does that thing scream . At first I didn't like it cause I'm so used to the LSS. But after I tweaked the tone, and got it to a decent master vol level and then used the vol, on the guitar (LP Classic) (no pedals - fx) nasty bite, singing sustain, feedback...

jeez, I called ALL over the place and NOBODY had a 5Y3 . I had to order one from Torres engineering. ( I actually ordered 2) Other places had them (availavble to order) but Torres had the best price. anyway, guess I'll wait for when they get in.... see what happens. Thanks all, Zeemo

Hi folks, Bought this LSS a while ago, (I was the one posting about the monophonic tubes back around Sept / oct). It has been working great since I replaced the 12ax7 s but now today, I turned it on, and there is absolutely NO output no sound coming from the speaker - not even a hiss when I...

I'm checking out volume pedals, thanks for the advice. any suggestions on whether to get passive or battery /ac powered ? also the morleys seem to use optical sensors (no potentiometer) and the ernie balls use a pot, but it's supposed to have a 'good taper' any thoughts? Theres a used...

I thought of a volume pedal. but I guess I was thinking in 'purist' terms (which I really am not..... ) (although I dont use any kind of pedals) just guitar into amp, and whatever footswitch comes with the amp. Would using a volume pedal like you desribe change the responsivenes / tone of the...

This goes for any amp really... but on for example the lonestar special.... is there a modification where you could footswitch out both the output, and the solo controls to say a 2 pedal volume pedal. ?? (1 for 'output' vol. the other for the 'solo' control) In other words if you were playing...

Well I found a setting with the Les Paul, that is probably pretty close to what will end up being a often used (regular) setting. so then I plugged in the strat without changing anything on the amp and it was pretty good. Maybe it's the lace sensors, they aren't as 'sharp' as stock strat...
