Without being able to see everything that may be happening with the amp, and what else might be sent with the Midi commands from the Helix, make sure that it is not also invoking the solo control or some other option that may be changing the amp. You might want to install midi-ox on your...

lol, yea, that anecdote about the papers flying and "feeling" the sound wave are pretty intense. I still wish i had that amp, it also had an EV. i always have in the back of my head the thought of buying a used purple-stripe. But i don't think i would ever use it live again, since I have a...

I owned a MK III purple strip simul-power at one time and tried to do the same as you, turn it up to get power tube distortion. I could not get it to happen, it was just way too loud for any practical live playing situation, imho. I never had the master above 3 to 4 for any of the gigs i was...

At one time RJM made the Amo Gizmo that required a custom cable to interface with the amp and substitute the foot pedal. I have one and am using it with my MKV:35. Works great. It can also control another amp with the 1/4" connectors. It has been discontinued, but you might try looking for a...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm actually using cabclones, with the speakers on mute, on both amps then into a mixer and then headphones, since i live in a housing situation that does not allow me to run out loud. I'm doing the preliminary setup and adjustments this way, then will rent a...

I was finally getting around to test configuring my WDW rack with the first two amps of the three that I will most likely use, a Fillmore 50 and a MarkV:35. I will be adding a TC50 later once I have these two setup and working. I am running a Volcano from Soundsculpture in the effect loops of...

Placed weatherstripping on the grill, fired up the amp, and i swear it sounds like heaven, lol.... Well, there is absolutely no buzzing, anyways! Played a bit more and tweaked a bit more and it's coming together! Gotta say that the vibe coming from this amp is stellar! I can't really turn it...

Thank you for the prompt reply, sir! I will try that and reply back.... :)

I just received my Fillmore 50 and am loving the "vintage" vibe i'm getting! I've only been able to play it about an hour or two to test it out and begin to get the feel of the amp with my guitar, but I am a bit concerned after I turned it up loud to get that "alive" feel, lol! It started...

Awesome! that looks pretty good! My initial idea was to go with the CabClone, since it's a "known" device i have been using with my other mesa's, and there were no other ideas posted here, but that "ISO line out" looks very interesting. I like that there are options to fine tune it. Will be...

Thank you sir, for the reply! Unfortunately my question about the slave out concerns the Fillmore 50. I actually use the cabclone on both my MK5:35 and TC50 and it works great! I know that i could get the cabclone standalone for my future Fillmore 50, but would rather use the effect loop, if...

So, I'm gassing for a Fillmore 50... :oops: :lol: Have checked out all the vids too many times and read the manual front to back 100 times just to convince myself. :wink: I have a midi controlled rig with 3 other boogies, MK5:35, TC50 and a LSS. It's a wet/dry/wet setup where I use the...

Ouch, sorry to hear that... maybe there will be enough "noise" about it from us "users" that a fix will be found.... peace...

I feel your pain about the popping when using the footswitch. Mine is not that bad, but since I use my MV:35 in a midi rig, which controls all the footswitch functions thru midi control instead, there is absolutely no popping. Maybe that could be a way to eliminate that issue for you or anyone...

I was able to open your "porn", thanks for sharing!! lol Some really beautiful "flesh" err... wood.... :) I feel your pain about selling your first Mesa, I keep killing myself mentally over my "lost" MKIII purple stripe.... :cry: Peace

Hi, congrats on the new amp... i had a purple stripe MKIII that i had the R2 mod done to by Mike B at Mesa many moons ago, so I can't give you any info on how to do it, but I can say that after I had it done, i kinda regretted doing it. The "crunch" channel lost its "mojo", so instead of...

thanks for posting this thread. i've been reading your other interesting posts about your TC and you really perked my interest when you mention the 6V6 in the TC50. Just received my 6V6's to replace the EL34's that are in my TC50, so i'm jazzed to try the out, since i had to go to work...

I use my TC50 in a multi-amp rig, along side an LSS, and MKV:35, with an amp gizmo and other midi devices, so using midi to control the amp functions are "mandatory" in this kind of set-up. if your using just one tc-50 in a "footpedal" type setup, you might be able to get away with not using...

I had a purple stripe MKIII that I really loved the crunch channel on, especially running it in a stereo rig. i could get that "on the verge of break-up" sound that was really fat and singing, unfortunately it would be out of balance volume wise with the clean and lead channels. I was living...

Lol... never noticed that aspect of owning a head vs a combo... my choices have always been combos (mkv:35, lss, mkiii) ... thanks for the replies! makes total sense now... 8) peace
