Juat recently, I've experienced a noticeable amount of tone loss in my Mesa Rectoverb (the 25W combo), and I have no idea what it is.
On the clean channel, there is some nasal honk in the treble, very thin sounding mids and what sounds like a drop in volume.
Thought one of the tubes had come loose, but my guitar tech housemate checked it and it was fine. Got the amp back upstairs and the problem had come back. I've tried different cables, with the pedalboard and straight into the front, I've tried both my Jazzmaster and JM Jag, but still this thin tone persists.
It's driving me mental. Short of fucking it all off and getting a Kemper, what can I do? What could the problem be? GAAHHHH!

Another fault I've come across a few times on these modern Mesas is PCB jumper connectors making a poor contact.

Mine did it once and i thought i had the dreaded problem, but i switched some pre amp tubes around and it's not done it since.
Really??
It would be great if they did give me a voucher refund, but I did buy it 3 months ago...
I hate intermittent faults, is it possible that something might have moved in transit? Maybe a dry solder joint or a stray wire???
Second: possibly. I'll see when I go to GG on Sunday.
At my lowest ebb I traded 14 guitars in 12 months.....
you know I love you right Toast??
