    Quad lacks gain in L1 and L2

    Also I would like to ad that most Quads needs to be cleaned inside out and that seems to cure the faults. Like you mine was bought around 2003-4 and hardly used since. The tubes were gainy enough but dirt makes channel 1 limited for me. The channel 2 is still good and so is both switching +...

    Quad lacks gain in L1 and L2

    The volume on each channel has input on how much lead gain you get. 6-8 volume 6-8 lead drive should bring higain. Maybe there is dirt in the potmeteres that can hinder the volume to have no effect. The channel 1 volume on mine goes to 6 and then no more making lead drive weak.

    295 lost power

    I got 12 12ax7 Mesa tubes old Russian 2 produktion = EH and installed the 8 in my Quad preamp. Then 4 in my 295 poweramp. Tested good and after a while I shut it down. Then later I wanted to test again with a different guitar and for some strange reason volume on 10 is like 3. Everything...

    Is this true? Quad pre won't work without FU-2?

    Now I have the Rockman midi octopus handling the ext outputs and a Rocktron midi mate board which came in the deal together. Got the special DIN cable to connect board to octopus and it works for channel switching very well. The special DIN cable was for the midi mate and other boards might be...

    New Quad Owner *with vid*

    Have Quad preamp and 295 poweramp which is rare in Denmark. Export 220 volt version. Looking to get service and tubes in the near future. Tried the recording outputs on the Quad alone and it sounds pretty good. This couple may have been together before in the early 1990s when it was new by a...

    Is this true? Quad pre won't work without FU-2?

    I am currently using a wah to select channels so no ft2 can be done but to change you need to move the input jack on the Quad for your choice of channel this way. I have yet to use the Rockman octopus as its 110 volt not 230 volt for European use and I got no effects to use the midi on it yet...

    Is this true? Quad pre won't work without FU-2?

    You can use a wah from the amp input to the decided channel inputs on the back of the Quad. Step on the wah to activate channel. Or you can get a Rockman midi octopus and a midi board of choice + benefit of midi for effects.

    New quad - large volume drop after a few minutes

    My Quad is now back in trial mode as I realized that I have yet to see how good the recording outputs are and so I hooked it up to my Tascam 414 4 track cassete deck. For monitors I use my Beomaster 6000 for it's rca plugs from the 414. At first I tried A to input on 414. It sounded between...

    Having 2 problems with my Quad preamp. Any ideas?

    The only switch is a ground switch and it is a non midi 1990 version wired for 220 voltage which is standard in Europe more at 230-240 these days. As long as I can select a channel I am happy. To alternative channel switch I am using a Wah pedal into the external channel of choice on the back...

    Having 2 problems with my Quad preamp. Any ideas?

    I checked the symptoms to be clear about what the switching does. With the power on the Quad no channels are selected. This is normal according to the manual. When I then hit any of the switches everything lights up and what channel the sound is from I have no idea. I think the v21 tube is...

    Having 2 problems with my Quad preamp. Any ideas?

    I finally put 4 preamp tubes in my Quad and hooked it up. On channel 1 rhytm 1 the sound level goes up and down. I think it could be the preamp tube for v1 that is old and needs to be exchanged. The switching is weird. I plug in the fu2 board. All channels light red on the Quad. One is...

    alternative footswitch for Quad preamp

    For some reason my original footswitch gives all lights on when I try use it. It could be the cable. Instead I use a Wah pedal plugged into the selected channel and the left side input of the Wah. When you step on the Wah it will engage the channel. I can't select between channels so easy but...

    Help me! New tubes for Mesa Quad and placements questions

    Thank you for the reply I read about 7025 and what it means earlier today on another site. The Quad gain is enough and sounds awesome but it is the first time I am about to change some of them as they sound not so fresh anymore. But 7025 in V11 and V21 with 12ax7 in the rest seems to be the...

    Help me! New tubes for Mesa Quad and placements questions

    So I want to get my Mesa Quad preamp back in action. The preamp tubes in channel 2 were giving me lower volume than channel 1 after a while (pushed master to 7) and microphonic feedback so time to change them. I took the lid of and found Groove tubes in all 8 positions. I took out the channel 2...

    Where in London can I find a good guitar shop?!

    Try Denmarkstreet near the tottemhamcourt road tube station. Also just across Denmark street to the left and then right you have another guitar store that could be interesting.

    Dean Markley Signature Series 120

    I have had my I20 for years and it still works fine. It sounds better with single coil pickups and fine as a poweramp. I can still recall the day I found it at the music store. It looked cool so I tried it with a nearby guitar and I took my own Strat with me + some effects some days later...

    First Axe

    My first acustic 6 string was a Jasmine S60 which I got new in 1988 and I still got it. It is a Takamine knock off but the sound is not bad just thin. My first electric was a Applause Stratocaster all black around 1991. I got the idea from a school mate who had a white one that I was not...
