Brief & Accurate Description of Gear: I'm not 100% sure I'm going to sell this, so just looking to gauge interest. I have a TriAxis incoming and I want to see that it covers the same bases this covers for me before I commit to a sale. This preamp sounds amazing and if you have a stereo setup you...

I'm actually looking into retubing my 50-50 as well. Previous owner has some Ruby Tubes in there which I always thought sounded like *** in other amps but sound pretty good in this one. I had Sovtek WXLT+s in my Mark IV that were selected for Mesa's Bias range and they sounded pretty huge and...

Bringing this one back from the grave as I just recently picked up a Mesa Quad and was considering how best to proceed on this myself. SO comparing the Quad positions against the tube layout from the Mesa Mark IV (close enough for comparison): PAGE 17 Description of Tube Functions V1A= Input...

Awesome man! Congrats! I'm back in Mesa Boogie land myself (just picked up a Quad pre). Hope you enjoy the hell out of it!

No problem, good to hear it was something simple. :D

The Peavey is a solid-state amp. Even cranking full output it would nowhere near approach the level of SPLs the Mesa is cable of delivering. The mid-scoop on the Boogie in the traditional "V" formation only removes a small section of mid frequencies (not the low-mids or high-mids), so cutting is...

Yea, recommended settings, with Master on 3 should be stupid loud. My Mark IVb combo was easily overpowering the drummer on 1 with similar settings to Clean/Crunch/Lead settings (the first recommended settings in the Mark IV manual). I think you might need to get that amp checked out. Before...

To each their own. Personally I am not a fan of the Roland JC clean tone, so I really didn't get on with my Cube 60 when I had it. I messed around with my Nomad for weeks and tried various preamp tubes and EQ combinations and I could not get a clean tone that really spoke to me. Other people...

Actually, yes. I have a Mustang III and was able to directly compare it to both a Nomad 45, F50 and Express 5:50. Honestly, the Mustang sounds amazingly good clean. If you put a little effort into it, you can actually get better cleans than the Nomad or F and one that is pretty on-par with the...

:bump:

Brief & Accurate Description of Gear: Good used condition, not many marks in the tolex. Handle has a couple of splits in the exterior wrap but is structurally sound. Modifications (if any): Original speakers replaced with new Celestion Vintage 30s (Made in UK). Parallel to serial effects loop...

Noise is probably not the right word for what I am describing. Basically, I had too low of a preamp signal so I had a much less defined pre-signal feeding into the power amp.

I actually played around with my Nomad a bit more and I think it might be that I was just running my channel volume too low so the power section was amplifying a bit more noise than it should. I did another comparison to the Vintage 30 and Governor and the low-end is rather similar so I think...

Well, I still think I'm breaking in the Governor. At present, the Governor seems a bit smoother in the upper-mids an treble area and has a noticeably nicer, more full-bodied tone on clean. Switching over to the Boogie lead and they sound very similar, slight differences in the midrange response...

I think you'll be happy with it. I'm considering reverting my Nomad 45 back to pre-mud mod specs but to be honest, the clean channel really does sound better (just my drive channels are too bright for my taste now). The 55 and 100 definitely seem to benefit more from this mod from everything...

Yea, Channel 3 is pretty much your hard rock / metal channel and while I liked the low-gain tone, it definitely isn't going to work with everything. For blues, I find that channel only works with single-coils, otherwise there is definitely a bit of mush. The Gain definitely works to tighten the...

The GT75s are definitely going to be a bit harsh sounding with the Nomad. I've played those with a variety of amps and they certainly work for certain types, but not sure about the nomad since its such a Mid-Heavy amp. As far as mods, I'd definitely recommend the Extreme mode-switch mod to...

I just performed the Mud and Parallel to Serial Loop mods today on my Nomad 45. To be honest, its not a terrifically drastic change with the way I have my EQ set currently. However, I have spent a lot of time tweaking with different tube types and speakers and run the amp in Extreme mode pretty...
