Have a great Sunday everyone!!
I finally purchased my dream head (but still saving for the matching 2x12 cabinet) and have been running through a Genz Benz 2x12 for the past 4 months. Unfortunately, it was borrowed and had to be returned. As a bass player, I have an extra 4x10 bass cabinet (4 ohm 500w rated, with frequency response of 48hz to 18khz).
Electrically speaking, would it be safe to run this combo (although far from ideal, sonically)? As long as I connect to the 4ohm output of the amp, it should not damage either the amp or the cabinet, right?
Note, this is only jamming at home with friends and as you can image, I am not turning up past 9 o’clock and am also running in 60w mode.
Viable or no?
Changing tubes on my Lonestar Classic, and I very stupidly had an el34 in the rectifier socket and the rectifier tube in the power socket. It was in Diode mode on Tweed. I was playing around with cabinets and twitched it to full power (I turned it off to switch) and when I turned it back on I saw small bit of smoke. It was on for 10 seconds in full power mode, then immediately unplugged. I pulled the chassis and didn’t see anything,,but there could be something hiding that can’t be seen. I turned it back on briefly, it’s sounds amazing, as always, but got in touch with Mesa tech support to send it in.
Insane deal I found on marketplace. I see posts all the time about insane deals. Never thought id actually find one.
So, I came into one of these speakers recently and have been trying to look things up.
Pictured is a listing from a decade ago describing it as rare. There's someone trying to sell one with a blown cone on eBay right now for $250 (obviously too much)
My speaker is identical, functional, sounds great.
Is it actually a rare speaker that a Mesa guy would pay decent money for?
Anyone know what this is actually worth?
I’m a big nu metal head so I decided I was gonna save up and get something nice for my first “real” amp (you can see my only other amp in the bottom left lol), now I just need to get a PRS but the Harley Benton gets the job done, absolutely love it, now I need to start looking into pedals for the clean channel
I don’t recall the footswitch ever operating like this but here’s my issue:
With the loop set to “foot switch”, each time I change channels the FX LED on the switch illuminates and the loop engages. This does not seem expected be expected behavior to have the loop defaulting to ON every time the channel changes. What I would expect to happen is that it would default to being OFF unless activated with the switch in that position. This is behavior that I’d expect to happen should the loop be set to a particular channel but certainly not affecting ALL channels either..
I’ve cleaned the connections on both ends of the switch with DeOxit, same issue applies. Super weird, anyone else experience this and find a solution?
Edit: forgot to add this is a 2006 Dual Rec Solo. Just installed a full tube compliment from Eurotubes, all are brand new. I don’t recall this being an issue with the old set of tubes but I also wasn’t really paying much attention either.
Yes it's heavy. Yes it's insane.
Picked up a near perfect Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Roadster and cab for a song. Now I just need to take a PhD level course on dialing it in.
Paid €1,325 ($1,500) for it, which is a bargain where I'm from (The Netherlands). It has got a 7000 serial and a fixed power cord which I believe means that this is a (very) early Rev. B. Maybe '94/'95?
Lead channel sounds very similar to my Mark III green stripe.
EDIT: pulled the chassis. Says 11/11/95 in magic marker
Hey there !! Recording some Heavy Guitar Riffs with some Thrash Metal - MetalCore - Groove Metal Vibes using my Esp Viper loaded with Emg pickups into a blend of a Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier and a Peavey Invective MH (Misha Mansoor signature amplifier) for Drums I’m using GGD The Downbeat !! 🤘🏼
Have a great weekend everyone!!
Greetings - I'm hoping to find some input on what 2x12 cabinet/speaker set ups other Mark iii owners are playing. I've had my Mark iii for 35 years and played through a 4x12 Jubilee 2551A loaded with G12-75s the entire time. The G12s have always sounded sort of dark to me, maybe lacking in dynamics a bit.
It's time for something new that takes up less room. I'm looking for good articulation and clarity for medium to full gain. Rock/Punk/Metal & some fusion/prog. Maybe some chicken picking/gentleman country, too.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
Quick question regarding Celestion Vintage 30s. Are the V30s found in a Mesa Boogie Rectifier 2x12 Horizontal cabinet the exact same ones used in the budget Harley Benton 212?
The price difference between these cabs is huge. Does Mesa use custom-voiced/UK-made V30s that actually sound better, or is the price gap purely down to Mesa's cabinet construction and brand name?
Thanks!
The Mesa Powerhouse 4x12. I'll never understand why they discontinued this cab, or really any of the Powerhouse line. I know I know... "it's too heavy! My back hurts just looking at it! I hope you have roadies! Which arena are you playing with this?"
Whatever. Nothing compares.
Could I ask any other Badlander owners if they can hear a louder mains hum on the low power mode?
I have the Badlander 25 combo, but I’ve noticed a low mains hum when in 10w mode. I know that this changes the way the power is handled and is more susceptible to hum, but I wonder if it might also be a tube imbalance etc. Thanks
I need a metal amp as the opposite of my deluxe reverb, im thinking on a mark vii but a rectifier is also tempting, wanna read people's experience on this matter
Hello everyone, just got my fist boogie yesterday but two of the power tubes are bad. I know that switching to 60 watts essentially drops two tubes into standby but I keep getting conflicting results on if it’s the outer two or inner two that drop out. I really want to use the amp but I’m scared to damage the transformer. If anyone has any suggestions that would be a huge help. Thanks!
