Members eiolenii Posted May 23, 2009 Members Share Posted May 23, 2009 I've been having the same problems with FX Loop as you guys have discussed before in the thread. As i understood from different forums, that especially on the early models of Single Rectos and Rectoverbs the effect loops tend to do this (especially when using Line 6 or Boss reverbs/delays). The solution for this is to mod the loop to be serial not parallel. The circuit of the loop has somekind of a FET, that starts to make that described rambling/helicopter sound. Any of you guys tried this mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members revontulet Posted May 23, 2009 Members Share Posted May 23, 2009 Didn't try the mod when I had my rectoverb series II, but that whomp whomp whomp helicopter noise from the fx loop drove me nuts; so I got rid. Was such a love hate thing that amp; some days I'd think it was wicked, others it was total toss. Too much Gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's really bugging me too. But i love the pure sound of it. I need to get them delays to work. I'll try the mod later today and I'll report back.

Members SharkMinusBear Posted May 23, 2009 Members Share Posted May 23, 2009 well at least nick has 33% good taste in amps..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eiolenii Posted May 23, 2009 Members Share Posted May 23, 2009 Okay I did the mod, i got recommended and it seems like my problem is solved. No more helicopter or overloading noises to be heard anywhere..yay...Was pretty easy to do too, took some 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more helicopter or overloading noises to be heard anywhere..yay...Was pretty easy to do too, took some 20 minutes. I'm gonna have to look into this... I've only run my Quadraverb in the loop, but had no problems. But I've been thinking lately about running my SMMH and some other modulation pedals (RE-20, Small Stone, chorus) in the loop. Luckily, I have a "guy" in town who's Mesa certified and seems to be a straight shooter. It won't be until the end of summer that I'll get around to it, but I'll be sure to let ya'll know what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eiolenii Posted May 24, 2009 Members Share Posted May 24, 2009 http://forum.metroamp.com/download/file.php?id=5971 That's the schematic that i used to do the mod...You can contact Mesa also and they'll give you the schematic, but if you're guy is a Mesa certified tech he probably knows what he is(will be) doing.

Members booher Posted May 24, 2009 Members Share Posted May 24, 2009 i want one. i found a guy on craigslist willing to sell me his for $850, but the whole idea of craigslist just scares me. I've bought a guitar and an amp off of CL, and I sold my old mesa, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dimebag11 Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 My next amp will definitely be a white Tremoverb......just need to save up a bit more cash and find someone that would want to trade $ + a Gibson Explorer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 well at least nick has 33% good taste in amps..... I have 100% good taste in amps. And so do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody777 Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 I haven't played my Tremoverb in a really long time. It's one of the only pieces of gear I don't use but couldn't bring myself to sell. Great amp... but I want a Bassman and a 335-type guitar so I might have to sell it.

Members xtoby44x Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 I have 100% good taste in amps. And so do you. so just general curiosity here Nick do you always run two Maps or one and if you run two do you run mesa dirty and ac-15 clean?

Members Crxsh Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 so just general curiosity here Nick do you always run two Maps or one and if you run two do you run mesa dirty and ac-15 clean? Recently, yes... I have been running both mapz simultaneously. Not always, but quite a bit. Why not, right? Generally speaking, I'd run both the RoV & AC-15 clean, with the RoV dialed in with more mids & bass and the AC-15 w/ a bit more treble, and use the Timmy/Ernie/DLS for dirt. That just sounds so full. It's really something. Now, I run them clean/dirty too ..... but honestly, the cleans are so fantastic on the Mesa that I have that one as the clean and the AC-15 as the crunch. Or, get the Mesa really heavy, and the Vox dialed in w/ just a little breakup. Both amps really offer something different on both sides of the clean/dirty fence, so I can get almost any sound I want pretty easily. Hell, I've run them both dirty too! That was fun. Now, over the past week I've just been playing the ToV exclusively...... because it's new and because I'm trying to figure it (and these EL34's) out. Once my 6L6's get in for that later this week, and once I get a better feel for it, I'm sure I'll revert back to the A/B/Y setup.... or just play them one at a time. I can't even imagine all of what I'll be able to do w/ this ToV and the Vox. That's something I'm really looking forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I'm really looking forward to. never played a mesa with el34 mine always had 6L6's and the cleans never wowed me, which is why i wound up selling them and going to Vox. the distortion on my Triple Rec i had and it had enough volume to make ones ears bleed which is always a turn on there are just so many options with you setup for live situations but the worst part is lugging all that stuff to gigs two maps is hell on the back. either way i think you got a great setup on your hands there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I start "gigging" again, I really doubt that I'd take both amps. Probably just the Mesa. Unless it's a smaller place..... then the Vox.

Members darren1988 Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 I traded a guy on Craigslist my Krank Rev1 for a Mesa Tremoverb. But I noticed only on the Modern gain channel theres a loud white noise (like a "SHHHHHHH" Noise) its not a hum so my ISP Decimator doesnt take it out... Is that normal or what?? Could it be the preamp?? HELP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dap99 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 Been a while. Any new TOV owners? I recnetly got a '73 Twin Reverb which has some sweet Fender Cleans, but in doing some comparisons, I have to admit... My TOV has some pretty sweet cleans too. Not as bright, but definitley cool.

Members clund Posted May 24, 2011 Members Share Posted May 24, 2011 Mind if I join the fun!?! Just traded my H&K Trilogy for a Mesa Tremoverb Head.... I ran it as a stereo rig at a gig last Friday with my Orange TH30 head... Sounded pretty good. I'm not getting along with the Dirt on it yet. Seems a little Fizz and Dark, like it needs more body!?! Any Idea's ways I can set this amp??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
