These don't come up for sale too often. I got this a couple years ago locally. Word has it that George made 200 of these, and then Dave switched the design and production location. There isn't a switch to go back and forth between BE and HBE; just dedicated input jacks. There's nothing wrong...
I've been using a 1st-gen Mesa 295 mated to a Mesa Quad for guitar, and then mated to a Demeter VTB-201 for bass. That power amp is heavier than a dead preacher. I was thinking of going with something like a QSC PL/PLX and drop the rack's weight by about 70 lbs. I'll get to experimenting as soon...
Going to hijack your thread for a second, Nigel. I updated an older Recto cab last year that used the same Switchcraft shorting jack...
I put in all new Cliff switching jacks. Since the older jack plate didn't have an Out jack, it only required 3 little jumpers...
It went from this...
If you dip your toes into the Nashville swamp, I'll go with Brent Mason's Tele. That plank is probably the most recorded and recognized guitar in that town.
Then you got the Skynyrd gutars, Dwayne's and Dickey's Gibsons, Carlton's 335...there is no end to the list.
These were left (along with other little gems) in the back of a combo after a horse trade dealyo. As far as buffers go, is this Mesa stuff worth hooking up? I'll have to make room on the pedal board if it's worth it. These have been sitting in the closet for a bit.
That's the way I was going to recommend. Run those Boss pedals 90%-100% wet AND at line level. And then use the Marshall's MV and the power amp MV's to blend to taste.
Briman24, you stated in the first post that you were already running wet/dry/wet before you brought the mixer into the picture. How were you doing this before?
The last guitar I got for 2023 is a Warmoth that I actually put together 30 years ago. Here she is after a fresh refinish...
The headstock does match; it's the light coming thru the window.
Damn, Greg, sorry you have to move this rig. You need an iso-cab if you're in a condo. I'll slap one together and drop it off in the spring during a road trip.
