New mesa subway amps and cabs!

But what's the best watts for the Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band?

 

[GregC]

Think it goes Kmart watts, Behringer watts, solid state watts, tube watts, Mesa watts, Watts on 2nd

I've also heard Trace watts, GK watts, Peavey watts, etc. Basically, where any amp builder=X, some fan of that company on TB has said "X watts."

and then there's TC Electronics watts...

Ouch!

Not really, it's a "boost" and cut filter (not really but that's how it appears to work) that has a different shape and response than the parametric eq filters.

Got it. Thanks... Got to tell you, if I’m buying a new app, that’s the one. That is one sweet piece of engineering.

I've found it to be the "Cut Through The Mix" knob myself.

I've played around with it to see how it affects my tone. I usually find my sound with it between 12 and 1. If I need help sitting in the mix (and my overall volume doesn't need a boost), I just bump it up and I'm there.

My rig has a similar parametric EQ, and once it’s dialed in, I never have trouble sitting in a mix. That’s why I responded. Having read the responses to my inquiry, I have a better idea of what it’s purpose is. Thanks for your response.

Yeah, that was a strange one.
I mean there's watts, and there's everything else. Like calling 120 miles, 60 miles, if you travel at 120mph, half as far.....

I mean I understand em saying it's as LOUD as some other amps rated at..... etc, but...

I just ordered myself a WD800 from Sweetwater after reading all these posts. Looks like I’ll be selling my 800+ now.

Jumped on board too, new D800 (yeah, didn't want WD) and Subway 215. Bonus: arrived the same day as a CIJ PB70-US P-Bass.

OOOOhhhh and he left us hanging with no new bass pic. The crowd snarled.

I did the same a month ago.

Affliction with Mesa gear...1x15 arrived today! I was skeptical about a 1x15 bringing the thunder (along with cutting mid range.) This little cab has amazed me. Been switching between the Mesa 15, Berg NV610 and a Berg HS210. The Mesa just sounds more full/ fatterr on the D and G strings (Fender P with SPB-1, flats) I'm thinking another 1x15 and I have my new indoor/ outdoor rig. Maybe selling the NV610...yeah the Mesa is that good.

 

[rodl2005]

Await the ending of the HONEYMOON phase!
Whenever I got rid of an NV cab, I regretted it after a while..... I now have my original. Nv215 back. And altho I've got a couple of neo 115s, ..the NV cab still slays in a way that others kain't!
And it ISN'T to do with the neo magnets, it's just the sealed cab solidity. It'll work in ANY situation

Old news. Their new specs are quite thorough...

I did sell my NV610 and SVT CL and replaced it with the new Mesa 2x15. Absolutely no regrets. The 2x15 kills! The big rig just wasn’t practical anymore as all the venues I play have decent PA systems. The portability factor is a big bonus too.

 

[_Some Dude]

Can anyone compare the 215 against the 115? I’ve been really curious about these but haven’t seen any to demo yet.

Tc watts +/-/= Behringer watts now.

My new wd800 arrived today and the tube is micophonic. Changed cables, Basses, speaker cables and cabnits. Customer service ain’t open today. Ugh, not what I was expecting right out of the box.

Received my tube replacement today, thanks to Andy and Garry. I know it’s a PITA to send a small tube to Canada from the US(so much hassle for a small shipment) but you guys came through. This WD is the best thing I’ve ever played through. So happy with my purchase.

 

[derlewine]

Thanks for the advice @agedhorse and everyone! WD-800 Arrived last night and I got to spend a few hours with it. Hands down the best sounding head I’ve ever played through— and I’ve just BARELY scratched the surface. I can wait for the next gig
