    something else that's at play is the human ears hears mids quite a bit better than the lows or highs so that also may be why having only slightly scooped mids seems so middy to us. I've always loved mids .... to me that's where the magic lies. I used to love to set the mid on my Ampegs to...

    Interestingly I just read an article about scooped mids and part of it was charts showing the freq response curves of Marshall and Fender amps and it was shocking ..... even with the mids all the way up, a Marshall (and apparently all other amps ) has a scooped mid! The Fender, of course, was...

    got a couple of Mesa's ..... my main amp is the Blue Angel which is NOT complicated..... single channel .... doesn't even have a master volume .. volume, treble, middle, bass, reverb .... that's it. Also have a Mark V which I suppose is complicated though I don't find it to be so. Main thing I...

    I had one .... it basically didn't get dirty even wide open ..... Had a friend with a blackface Super and it was glorious. I have an Ampeg VT-40 and it's magical ..... I just can't lift it.

    yeah .... I have a friend with an old blackface deluxe .... not sure of the year .... got to use it on a big outside stage where I could run it on around 8 and holy crap, that thing sang! Maybe the most responsive thing I've ever played .... just hold notes out like it was singing .... it was...

    yes ..... that way you're only using the power section. But nothing on the preamp would work .... no tone control or volume control from the preamp.

    I would think most of them ..... part of the point of an effects loop is to not have the effects running into the preamp so it would make sense to me that the return of a loop would go to the power amp.

    I'm not a SRV fan that much. It grabs people's attention when you mention you've jammed with him but I do find his playing pretty repititious and much of it sounds like recycled Hendrix to me. I know that's sacrilege to his fans but even now I listen to him and go 'meh'. Oh he had blues chops...

    well ..... yeah, but when I jammed with him was before he was SRV. It was just a band named Double Trouble I believe ..... I was a regular jammer in that particular club so I played with anyone that came thru there if I was off that night. So he was just a guitar player at that time, to me ...
