Re: Mesa Boogie preamp tubes
thanks for the pic and for the reply on my other post about the rack fx unit.....................
................i was about to ask you on that G major............reliability issues aside how is the reverb?????enough parameters and good quality????I am not expecting it to be a lexicon pcm91 but i really want something better and more detailed than the replifex reverb......
One more thing....apparently you are not using it this way...but will it be ok in a parallel loop????........I know it has been designed for use with a serial loop and that they have added a kill dry feature to make it compatible with parallel loops but i don't want to buy something that doesn't work at 100% of its potential
(BTW i mentioned on the other thread that 50% of the g major users have experienced reliability issues......unfortunately the number did not come from my imagination but from a poll g major users made at the g major yahoo group.......................here are the results:
Our Poll Results:
What type of G Major failures have you experienced?
Responses
Choices Votes %
Mechanical (pots etc.) 14 25.93%
Electrical (DSP freeze) 12 22.22%
Electrical (power supply) 3 5.56%
Other Electrical 3 5.56%
No Failures on mine! 22 40.74%
:smack: :smack: :smack: ........that's not very impressive........ :burnout:

Re: Mesa Boogie preamp tubes
Like I said, they do seem to be quirky because I too have seen the complaints online but 56 people polled hardly seems like a high enough number compared to the total units that must have been sold. Mine has never given me a problem.
As for loops, I have used the G Major in my loop and it worked just fine. The only thing I didn;t like was that the Triaxis has only one loop send and I would have had to split the send and feed both sides of the G Major to keep the stereo imaging.
The reason I run mine is series between the preamp and power amp is so that nothing is interferring with my preamp tone before the output. I let the Triaxis do it's thing before I add any effects or compression and eq.
As far as the reverb parameters go, its chained like this:
Reverb subtype - rev decay - rev predelay - rev shape - reverb size - rev HiCol - rev HiFact - Rev LoCol - Rev LoFact - Rev RmLvl - Rev RevLvl - Rev Diffus - Rev Miv - Rev OutLvl
Should be enough programmability to just about drive you nuts.
The G Major sounds better than you might think and it's more than flexable.
