    Not even arrived yet, but tube options for Tourmaster4100?

    I know it runs on 5881's...what other power tubes can it use?

    New tubes for Roadster...partial fail

    New tubes arrived for my Roadster today - 6 TungSol 12AX7's and a quad of Ruby/Shuguang 6L6GMSTR's. Swapped them all out and MAN what a difference. I has clarity and top end - and need to redial in my amp - lol... Fail is because the OEM 6L6's tubes are clearly Mesa labeled Shuguang 6L6GCMSTR...

    Mesa-Boogie Roadster...

    I bought this thinking, like my previous experiences with 3-channel dual recto's, that I'd end up not liking it and sending it back. First night, I was able to dial in some decent tones, and was OK with it. I fiddled with it a few more days...then the moment of truth. I took it out and put in...

    I calculated up I have 30K of gear last night.

    I calculated up, for insurance reasons, that I have 30K of gear, and that's using MF pricing, not MSRP, except on things that were custom-ordered that without a shitload of digging, I won't be able to find what I paid for it... Holy crap.

    Lord Valve is a riot...

    I just ordered some tubes from him, and he said "My old lady handles the shipping, I don't know what it'll cost but it's around $2.75...and shipping is always $7.50 unless you order some heavy shit like a transformer. It won't go out today, I won't go near a fuckin' post office...it might not go...

    Mesa Roadster tubes?

    I'm 99% sure my new Roadster came with JJ's in the preamp. Not sure what the 6L6's are... I'm thinking I may go with Ruby (Shuguang) 6L6GCMSTR's in the power section (I'll just get them from MF, keep reading) and TungSol 12AX7's, which I really dig in every amp I've tried them in (Marshall-type...

    Mesa Roadster + Strat = GOOD SHIT!

    I sold my strat off a year or so ago, and have somewhat regretted doing it - so, I bought a new one - a MIM Standard...matches my Epiphone Les Paul, in the sense they're non-American - lol... Anyhow, the Strat sounds pretty damn good out of the box - the clarity with the Mesa is...

    WOT...I need to replace the roof on my house

    I started to switch my homeowners policy to another company that would cover my house at a higher amount (more realistic for a rebuild cost), for not much more money, and it'd drop the costs of my auto insurance policies by a good amount over my current carrier which had (until yesterday), all...

    Gassin for a Mesa Roadster...not really sure why?

    I have a JVM410H, and I'm quite content with it, however the Mesa Roadster just keeps calling to me...though I don't truely know why. My previous experiences with Dual Rectifiers (3-channels) were left in disappointment, as at the time I thought my TSL was just a better sounding amp. While I...

    My Guitarist...

    My guitarist is thinking of getting a floorboard-all-in-one unit - such as the PODxt-Live, or the Boss GT-10. I'm thinking I need to introduce him to the AxeFX... I know with 95% accuracy, that they are out of his "what his wife will let him spend" range...but, I think once he hears it, maybe...

    JVM410H - what tubes?

    I bought my JVM410H several months back, and haven't even bothered changing the tubes or setting the bias (straight out of the box, plug in an rawk!) So, now I'm thinking of getting a fresh set of tubes, and I'm not entirely sure which to go with.... I really liked the Ruby EL34BSTR in my TSL...

    MIDI Controllers?

    I've got on order a G-major-2 and pending if I like it...I'll be strongly considering a MIDI-switch/controller for it... So, other than the Behringer unit, what else is out there that would work well with a JVM and a G-Major? An expression pedal (or two?) is more than likely going to be a...

    OT: remember the car-refinance thing?

    I remember I took a bit of hell over refinancing the car, and using that to pay off some debt.... Well, I ended up doing it anyway. Car refinanced for 11995 @ 6.1%/4yrs. Payment 233, was 241. Never knew the APR before, but it was higher, and it was as a balloon payment-type due in June, if I...

    Saw STP w/ Meat Puppets last night

    Meat Puppets: SUCK. You'd think a one-hit wonder would get some decent equipment, and have their sound properly set up...or maybe the sound was properly set up...but man - they sounded horrible. You can tell someone obviously wrote their one-hitter. Peavey 2x12 solid state bass combo, some...

    So, I got the schematic of the JVM now...

    And at first glance, the only difference in the tone stack is the slope resistor - 33K is Marshall's typical, 47K is what they have on OD2. Talk about an easy mod... The stuff around gain controls are a bit different as well, notably a bright cap being a bit bigger on OD2, and a leading from...

    So...I ordered another JVM...

    Having my guitarists DSL 100 had me jonesin for a modern Marshall pretty badly... And while someone on here is selling their JVM410H for $1400 + shipping (and won't budge, even though I couldn't sell mine for more than $1100), I decided to just get a new one for $1749 shipped... Rawk! I...

    Crazy gig stories...

    OK, last show I played...there was a gal and her male whatever, sitting at the bar... Had her titties hanging out, playing with her shit down stairs to the point of soaking herself silly, and the bar stool she was sitting on...and at times giving herself two-fingers worth, and have her...

    Anyone work concert security?

    A coworker here is also has ties with doing security for touring acts that come through town - he asked if I would be interested. Anyone else done this kind of junk? Sounds like it'd be cool to get in to some concerts and get paid a bit to do it...lol...

    Metro Plexi kit vs Peavey 6505+

    Pricing is about the same, so...which should one go after? Let's see...old school VH tone vs new school VH tone...easily modded vs circuit boards... Believe it or not, it's a tempting choice either way for me...lol Thanks!

    Maybe I am crazy...(amp)

    but I'm thinking instead of going the Egnater route, I may just buy another Metro Plexi kit and have at it. I'm kinda lusting for a JCM 800, which, that kit would allow me to do with very little effort, that, and a Plexi with a PPIMV = heaven...lol Granted, I could potentiall pull the trigger...
