I would think that the 30 watter should be plenty for impromptu jams at home. It should be nice to have portability and the effects that you might use. The price is certainly attractive. Write a review on it, when you try/buy one.

I haven't needed to do it yet, but on the larger two Pedal Trains, I could mount the DC-Brick on the bottom side of the board, which would give more room for additional pedals or just keep everything as compact as possible. There are other power supplies out there, but I didn't want to spend...

Hey Monsta, have you tried using a compressor against your crunch channel? That might give a different take on the channel's attack and will give you more sustain on your clean channel. I use a Keeley, and you can use it as a clean boost, as well. If you're looking for a chorus, you might...

Hey Monsta, I use a Pedal Train. Reason- It was simple and flexible. I have a soft case for mine, although they are offered with hard cases. That would have been the better way to go. The soft case is cheap and I may try to find a hard case down the road. For a power supply, I use a...

The 60 watt tube or the 75 watt non tube version looks like it might be fun to me. If/when our local store gets them in, I'll probably plug into one to at least check it out. The manufacturers are coming a long way with modelling amps. Sure, they're not the "real" deal to tube amp owners and...

I had bought the spare preamp tubes for my RK, but haven't had to install them. It's still up and running. Knock on wood! :lol: I know that it's not a cure all remedy, but I hope that it helped someone out there, who might have been having problems.

Hey Blakkspider, I hope that you got your amp back up and running. Here's the info from the Mesa Memo... SOUND “DROP-OUTS” / INTERMITTENT SIGNAL One Possible Cause Most (but not all) Mesa/Boogie amplifiers have one or two “cathode follower” tube stages in their preamps. Tube...

I did get a copy of the notice. I was given wrong verbal info, V3 and V4 are the cathode follower locations on the series 1 and v3 and v5 on the RK 2. Boogiebabies was right. In any case, I'm still up and running. Sounds like I'm going to get my hands on a few more of them tubes, just to...

Hey Boogiebabies, Good info. I was told specifically V5, and that the notice wasn't that old. I'm just repeatin' what I got 2nd hand from a Mesa Service Rep. I replaced V5 and it did fix my problem, well, at least for the time being. If I can get my hands on a copy of the notice, I'll post it.

I don't know. I have an early series 1.

Yeah, I didn't realize that they were THAT sensitive, where even if it's a Mesa tube, the point of origin matters. At least the fix is simple if you know what to look for.

The C90 has a ceramic magnet. I'm not sure about the heating up and tone change. I haven't experienced it, but don't push my amps that hard either. I have heard of tone shifts as tubes heat up.

I knew that they made short heads, but that's the first short combo that I've ever seen.

I have a set of rings on my F-50 and it helped. Between new tubes and the rings, it should cure the problem.

If it happens again, read my "Did You Get the Memo?" thread. It sounds similar to what I was experiencing with my RK. Switching the amp on and off, helped me at first, and then the problem got worse. It sounds like it could be a marginal pre-amp tube.

Has anyone else heard about this one? My Road King was working fine, and then the volume started to drop and then go into volume swells, sort of like a slow tremolo. Then, at times, it would give an ugly static buzz. Finally, the volume totally dropped. I first thought that it was a pre-amp...

I had purchased a used Fender Blues Jr. for GC. It had problems and they said that they'd fix it. It came back marred, and it still had problems. I won't go that route again, but I already gave my opinion of GC on another thread. Just about any music store that takes trades or buys used gear...

That's a pretty good deal on an LSC. If you should buy it, set your channel volume where you like it and then use your master volume to bring it down first. A power attenuator may also help, if the master volume doesn't do it for you. With bringing the volume down, remember, there is a trade...

I was just on the Strobostomp site and the input/output jacks look like they are metal and more solid on the Strobostomp 2 than the original. They must've figured that an upgrade was needed on the unit.

You have your money and they have their tubes. You'd personally gain nothing by putting out the negative feedback. It's tempting, but I've never seen anyone rewarded by negative feedback. Now, if they took your money and kept it, that'd be a different story. There are a lot of people out...
