I am loving the Hi1 channel in 5 watt mode on my TA15 a lot. I have a Marshall JMP1h and whilebthis sounds different, it is still a Marshally Tone. I find that if I turn the Gain knob down to 10--11, it sounds very JTMish. That makes a great pedal platform for an OD made for a Marshall, like a treble booster, or a Lovepedal OD11 which I recorded with yesterday. Speaker was a Red Fang alnico, but I find if I go with traditional Greenbacks on this channel, I get more grease and fat..,the ZZTOP sound just oozes out, especially with a Lovepedal COT pushing it.
I keep finding new uses for this amp, and new killer tones.
Just wanted to share. I love this amp.
Now OT, why isn’t this forum more active? I don’t get it. There are plenty of Boogie Users out there.
Did something happen at some point which wasted the forum?
Just curious.
Hi1 on TA15 just ROCKS!

The forum traffic (or lack thereof) is a mystery to me too. There are a lot of Mesa users out there.alphasports wrote:Dunno why this forum gets so little traffic, but the TA15 is a great amp, love mine just don't use it enough.
Never used the TA-15. I have the TA-30, and love it.

I love Green Vox Top-Boost channel too. The Red Fang was made for that channel. It has beautiful yet gritty cleans. Truly an incredible amp that can do anything it seems.
