Parang nabasa ko or napanuod ko sa interview ni JP na ginagamit nga niya yung Royal Atlantic sa studio ngayon. And yung guitar na gamit niya is yung JP13 na. Excited na ako sa new album nila. Hehehe. Kuha tayo ng Royal Atlantic Head! Wahaha!

Hey guys, I have a problem with my Mark IV, hope you guys can help:

Whenever I start the amp, my lead channel is fine, but after a couple of minutes playing, the volume and the gain drops. I leave it alone for a couple of minutes, then the volume and gain goes back to normal, then goes down again after a couple of minutes. This happens to when I switch to Lead channel from Rhy1 or Rhy2 channel.

I don't have a problem with my Rhy1 and Rhy2 channels.

Is this a tube problem? I googled, and read that I should swap my V3 & V4 tubes. I did that already, but am still experiencing the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

How's your power supply? 110 yang MarkIV mo right? Are you using an AVR for your 110 power outlet? Hindi ba fluctuating yung kuryente sa inyo?

Yup, it's 110v, and I'm using an AVR for it. Power's not fluctuating naman. It's been two days that the amp is like this.

Try to call mang raul. Nangyari yan sa ch. 2 ko dati. Nilinis lang niya hehe. Pero try mo rin icheck cables mo, baka isang cause din yun.

Will try this too.

Thanks!

Decided to keep my F-30. So I'm still part of the club!  Can't part with that Mesa.

Gaganda ng mga Mark IV niyo! One day when I get enough intention and patience to save for it. LOL

[shredmaestrobri]

Warming up before my practice session:



Mesa!

[haey2]

ganda sir  dream amp ko

[jun_gats]

Oo nga nakakapaglaway  nga pla I have tested the mini and dual rectifier pero hindi ko gusto yung dirty channel. parang merong mali. ganun din ba ang pagkakadinig ninyo?

[shredmaestrobri]

When i played through a dual rectifier before, vintage mode was best for me. Tamang high gain metal! Did you try that on the DR you tested?

So i couldn't agree wth you na may mali (well at least sa settings na ginamit ko nun). It was a great amp. Id choose it over the Diezel i tried overall with price to value to sound ratio. Just my opinion. But syempre taste yan so the Rectifier gain may not be for you.

If I could use my budgets for a Mesa, I would get a Roadster head.

[gnarly]

I'm speechless.

[jun_gats]

I havent tried the roadster yet pero I was told that maganda yung dyna at royal. sayang didn't have enough time to test everything.

[Bolt Thrower]

yung "parang mali" sa rectifier heads is yung fuzzy mush when you dial too much gain with too much mids. masyado hairy tunog. i tried the modern setting sa triple and dual recs, mas madali i dial yung fuzzy na matabang tunog sa tight na tunog. although i managed to get a tight sound pero after much much tweaking time.

i like them though. but i like the dual than the triple. mas tight tunog ng dual. the triple has the BIG/HUGE/GIGANTIC sound that i find hard to tame.

now that mini is a great amp. 

[MYN11]

Usually sa Mesa Amps, pag lumagpas ka ng 12 o'clock sa bass (eq) flubby na tone mo. Tulad ng sinabi ni Bolt Thrower, magiging hairy naman masyado pag mataas yung highs and mids. Always try to start at 12 o'clock sa lahat ng knobs when trying out Mesa Amps. Then imbes na lumagpas ka sa 12, pabawas ang gawin mo.

[jun_gats]

yung setting na ginamit ko is 12 lahat ng knob tapos from there atsaka ko sya twineak. 12 o clock nga daw yung setting na pinakamaganda sa mini at dual sabi nung sales na binilihan ko. medyo madami din daw kasi syang amp sabi nya. yung cleans ng ta pansin ko tlgang maganda, yung dirty lang ang medyo kailangan ng push

kahit ano yata scoop mo sa recto heads may mids pa rin siya. hahahaha yun yung daya ng recto e kaya ang laki ng tunog nila kahit anong application. the cleans are really great pero yun nga need time to tweak the heavy gain channel. ganyan din experience ko sa mesa kala ko kulang o mabuhok masyado talaga tunog nung high gain channel. pag sapak ko kasi sa 5150 plug and play lang konti tweak ok na. yung secret pala ng recto is yung matagalang tweaking.

di ba may diode switches din sa recto heads that affect the gain structure?

di ko nga alam kung bait ganun? I have tried a couple of amps pero parang nagandahan ako sa egnater, yung bogner and hughes nasubukan ko pero parang hindi ko sya ganun kagusto.

[MYN11]

Yung Dirty Channel ng TA need pa talaga ng Overdrive Oedal sa harapan. Medyo bitin ang Gain kung magme-metal. Pero kung rock and pop lang, sufficient na.
