bluesy Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Great site-- don't know how I found it but glad that I did. Maybe you can recommend something. I use a Mesa Simul-Class 2:90 (set at half power) with an Alesis Quadraverb GT through a 4X10 (2X 10's per side) or a 2X12 (1X 12 per side). Doesn't sound too bad. My only complaint is Fullness. Sometimes it sounds a tad thin at higher volumes- 'though it always sounds good at lower volumes. Rolling the volume down on a Strat (with Barden PU's) really seems to deaden the entire sound. The only way to quiet things up when necessary is to roll down the output knob of the Quadreverb. A volume pedal acts the same as the Strat's volume control-- slight roll-off (from 10 to 8) makes the audio all but disappear. Tubes are good. (Mesa tubes) What could I do to use the volume knob or a volume pedal without losing the amp sound? Thanks. Carl Laesch Jeeeeze- one more thing if I may. What tubes (the Mesa has 3 AX7's total and 8 6L6's (four per side) would you recommend for that Robben Ford type of sound? (Yes, I realize that he's an extraordinary player)- but that Vowelly(for lack of a better term) type of thing! Jeez-it's magic. And yes, a Dumble would not be an option. The tube primer section was very informative albeit over my head- Ratings, blue, white,etc. Which pre-amp and/or power amp tubes would one use in this here (previous e-mail) set-up ? Any input would be appreciated and possibly invaluable. Thank you; Carl Laesch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O'Shite Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Sounds like another "S.A.G.-Kit" and "Ask Myles" candidate! (NOT a sales-pitch, but I bet I'm right!) (By the way, welcome! This is a great forum!) Address the same questions to the "Ask Myles" thread, you will not be dissapointed in the least, I promise. That's not to say that you wouldn't get any answers here, though; you might get some replies from other folks here, as well. Post other stuff, replies to other posts, too!
