Mesa/Boogie Titan V12 megathread!

To make sure my Titan will last long, is it a good idea to consider adding a power conditionner or any protection such as a Furman power conditionner?
Or is this useless?

I'm looking for the footswitch, the capacitor is not for me

Oops, sorry for the confusion. Your distributor will be able to help with the footswitch.

I wouldn't bother with a power conditioner, it won't make any difference.

Are power conditionners useless devices?

Are power conditionners useless devices?

For all intensive purposes, yes.

 

[baxter_x]

Well, you probably saved me a several hundred bucks then

I'm sure you can find something more useful to spend it on, right?

... on the footswitch for my Titan!

There you go, two problems solved!

What was the reason? The prodigy?

Yes, I couldn't have both, I'm still wondering if I chose the right one.

Interesting....

Well, after playing ma Titan for an entire week, I plugged back in my SVT4 Pro..... The SVT 4 Pro still produces a tone that is to me very special.
Where the Titan is more mids oriented, the SVT 4 Pro can still produce a super massive fat heavy bottom and super clean sound the Titan can simply not produce. The Mesa M9 is actually very close to that tone.
I still have to make my choice between those to awesome competitors. It's like choosing between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini.... And it's tough.

Does swapping tubes change/improve the sound of the Titan?
Have you tried that?

Hello I am new to the forum
good morning everyone I know this is an old thread but I would be grateful if any of you can tell me what changes should be made to the titan v12
I tried to contact the mesa but they always say the same thing to send her from them I live in Italy (excuse my english) and between shipments and repairs I buy a nuova.Cosi if I can figure out what needs to be replaced can do with my technician.
Thank you all.

Tony, first tell us what goes wrong with your Titan. Assuming the is someting going wrong.
Also, finding another Titan is almost mission impossible in EU. There is just one in Germany. It's been discontinued by Mesa a while ago, so buying a new one won't happen neither

 

[tonybassr]

hello and thanks for the reply
My suffers as all titan heating then sounds while the signal goes away for a few seconds, and then returns.
I read that the mesa has made changes type A fan and a transformer diverso.Io I would just figure out what kind of transformer and fan mount

Is it in a rack ? If yes, what king of rack is it?
Ithe Titan needs a certain airflow around it. I haven't used my on stage yet but it's inside a 6U rack with holes around the amp to let it breathe and I haven't had any issues.

You really need to contact the authorized service center in Italy. The updates are not user installable. They require an experienced technician.

 

[tonybassr]

I asked the only service center in Italy is 1000 km from my home
for what it cost me to send it to them then shipping in america more repair
I do not suit me if only I can figure out what goes stotituito maybe having some detailed photos I try to make them the changes otherwise I just keep it as a table to rest your glasses

 

[agedhorse]

I repeat, the updates are not something end users can do. It is a procedure for factory authorized service technicians.

Tony, does your Titan remains in a rack??
