Studio tube preamp

from Gadget, 0 Comments, 512 Views

Widely recognised as one of the best Mesa Boogie amps ever built - a true stadium amp used by many top touring bands.
Mine has had a 110v to 240v conversion.

• Three rack units deep
• 2 x 200 watts power output
• All valve powered: 4 x 12ax7, 8 x 6l6 and 4 x 6550
• Built 1980s at around £2000 new
• SwitchTrack system, with two remote switchable channels, each with seperate volume, presence, half-drive and deep-extend settings.
• Fan cooled

This beautiful piece of engineering was saved from the amp graveyard (after some very amateur work by a nameless Birmingham based valve amp specialist!) by top UK valve amp designer and all-round good guy, Anthony Matthews, at Tube Distinctions in South Wales (see links page). Annoyingly, no schematic has ever been released, making repair work a daunting and near impossible task.

What the manufacturer says...

Total Access to the Encyclopedia of TONE.

Digital disbelievers scoffed at the very idea of packing five 12AX7's and 25 years of tube tone heritage into one rack space of pure magic...but there they are...five little tone bottles, glowing quietly-all too ready to rock the house.

Eight separate modes deliver the elusive creamy gain of the Mark I, the heralded focus of the Mark IIC+, the scooped Rhythm of the Mark IV, and the heinous crunch of the Rectifier. But these are just a few of the classic sounds at your fingertips.

Most programmable preamps start with a digital control circuit and then adapt the audio to fit the confines of the digital framework. We weren't about to compromise the audio just to take the short cut. Instead, our three years of research produced a new patented technology which preserves in every nuance and detail the exact audio elements which made these classic sounds in the first place. The digital circuitry was forced to serve-not dictate the tone.

Each control's up and down keys work much like an old style knob...all parameters are displayed and active all the time. To you, that means no scrolling to find your Treble on the gig. You don't have to wonder how your Bass and Mid are set, you can see them from across the stage.

You can store your favorite sounds into 90 user presets and these can be mapped to any of the 128 midi program locations. To get you started, we've included 20 defeatable/ retrievable factory presets, 10 of which can demonstrate

SmartPower™ voicing options where TriAxis controls our power amps, switching their capabilities to further enhance individual modes and sounds. Make no mistake-TRIAXIS IS an arsenal of the most powerful guitar tones available in the world today...and that's without using the Continuous Control function. But don't believe us, just listen to the likes of John Petrucci, Rocky George,Reeves Gabrels, Adrian Belew, and James Hetfield.

Features...

• 5x12AX7
• 8 Modes
• 90 User Preset Locations/128 Midi Program Locations
• Midi In/Out/Thru • Midi Continuous Control (any or all parameters)
• Midi Data Transfer
• Phantom Power (for Footcontroller)
• Programmable FX Loop w/Stereo Returns
• 4 Programmable Function Switches (Controls Smart Power™ "Deep, Half Drive or Modern" on select MESA Power amps or controls other outboard gear)
• Stereo Main & Recording Outputs
• 1 Rack Space

Channels...

• Rhythm - Green = Vintage Fat Rhythm (Mark I, Black-face)
• Rhythm - Yellow = Modern hyper-clean Rhythm (Mark IV)
• Lead 1 - Green = Vintage Mark I Lead
• Lead 1 - Yellow = High Gain British Style Lead
• Lead 1 - Red = British Shred-Style Lead
• Lead 2 - Green = Medium Gain Boogie Lead
• Lead 2 - Yellow = Classic Boogie Lead (Mark IIC+/Mark IV)
• Lead 2 - Red = Searing Boogie Lead

What I think of it...

A superb preamp. Very versatile and easy to use, with all settings permanently on display on bright LEDs, unlike the Marshall JMP1, where the particular parameter value has to be scrolled to. High gain sounds, particularly on Lead 1 and 2 red, get a little noisy, but then we're talking extreme gain.

I haven't found any sounds I can't get out of it yet, though you have to be unafraid to use the full range of the controls to get them.

Care needs to be taken when revalving, as the board which holds the valve bases can snap and break the connections; remove the top first.

Mine is fitted with a set of little-used Mullard ECC83s.

Well this thing is modded to hell. It has so many mods I don't even know what they all do. I do know that this amp kicks ass. Its a mix between a Rectifer and a Mark IV. The 5 Band EQ slays for the brewtall metalzzz.

My Mesa Boogie DC-2

A modified studio 22+ combo from 92' with grafic EQ. It had a new and better cabinet a few years ago. It had new tubes and a alnico blue dog speaker fittet as well. After the mods the combo sounded a lot better than the stock version. Shockingly the best thing about this combo is the clean sound, so nice!
