    I use a TriAxis into a 2:90...

    I do have this pedal board that needs completion, moving a few around and connecting cables... prior to using it in the loop.

    I was using my 68 Bassman and either my V30/Greenback Avatar 4x12 or my drip edge Dual Showman 2x12 with a Cannabis Rex and a Texas Heat... most likely the 2x12. Either way, it's pretty far from a Mesa. But this pedal is just straight up rad. Thanks for the compliment. It's understandable that it may sound Santana-esque in some spots, as the graphic EQ really lets you dial in that tone should you desire it.

    Well, that sounded really nice! Kinda Santana-ish in some spots. What amp did you use? It really retains that MESA sound ...

    Long overdue, but I finally haz clips!

    This is not meant to be a demo of the Mesa Flux Five by any means. It's just me and some friends getting together and jamming. I'm using one of my PRSi on this track... I want to say it was my WLH loaded McCarty. I used a few different effects here and there, but IIRC the Mesa was on the whole time.

    And yeah, my bassist is using a Bass VI. It's awesome and makes for rad guitar/bass interplay.

    Don't need another gain pedal as I am happy with my Bass Big Muff PI + Malekko Sloika stack but I have been interested in getting an EQ for awhile for fine tuning or even as a huge mid boost option.
    The frequencies and bandwith. It's pretty hard getting a crappy sound with the Mesa EQ, something the Boss can do a lot better and easier.

    I wasn't able to get my rig together in time for work, so it looks like I'll just have to wait until Tuesday to really open up the Mesa. Oh well, I can wait two days.

    I can understand why you would say that about the Flux Five playing it at low volumes. I get the same impression, but I can tell from my second or two of accidentally having the volume too high that it will really open up once you get to gigging volumes. I'm going to take my board, amp, and a few axes to work with me tomorrow so I can crank it after work at my boss's warehouse. That will give me a great idea of what sounds and feels like at gigging volumes. And hopefully I'll be jamming on tuesday, so I'll find out how it works in a band mix. I'll report back after each of the experiences.

    And yeah, it's just awesome having the Mesa EQ in a pedal. If I had the space, I'd love to have the standalone eq.

    That's good to hear. I really liked what I heard when I played it. But it was with an unfamiliar guitar through an Express 5:25+ at the shop, and I was keeping it pretty low (it still sounded really good).

    Essentially what it does is allow you to bypass the slider EQ using the standard two tone knob EQ on either/both the low or/and high gain channels. There are pros and cons of both designs. I, personally, use the low side without the slider EQ since it's a bit fatter that way and set the higher gain side to cut with the EQ on. Nice flexibility with this one.

    You can also considerably roll back the gain and have almost a clean boost thing happening with it and still have plenty of gain on tap if you wanted to kick it in. The volume knob itself is at unity at around 9 o'clock so there's a heck of a lot even on just the low side to make your notes jump out.

    I'm looking forward to hear how it cuts in the band mix Jordan
