Recently acquired a white tolex simul GEQ combo. Swapped in a full set of Mesa tubes, working my way towards that blooming saturated overdrive I hear in my head. But I sure do miss the 'verb like I have on the Lonestar! What are my options? There are a couple different descriptions of the Mike...

So, my understanding is that Tweed reduces power section headroom by reducing voltage -- does the tube rectifier result in the same effect or something different? It think I hear a greater difference switching from full AC to Tweed than from diodes to tube rectifier. Maybe Tweed effects the...

I'm a newbie to tubes as a life-long bassist, so I'm, you know, somewhat ignorant. I'm quite happy with what I'm getting out of My M1RI, but its going on the bench soon for maintenance/repair, so I thought I'd look into possible mods. A couple searches on the board turned up references to the...

Got my Mark 1 reissue and loving it. Grailtone being something/anything along the Carlton->Ford->(Vintage) Billy F. Gibbons) arc. It wasn't too hard getting an impressively bright and full clean tone. And I'm making some progress on Channel One after watching Andy Timmons' LSC video. But is...

Can I put 6L6s in a Studio 22+? Anybody else tried this? Thanks!

Hi there I'm G.A.S.-ing for my first Mesa; a lovely used Mark 1 reissue at the local GC for $1100. Haven't seen any others for sale. Is this price in line with what you've seen? Thanks!
