[QUOTE="SpitfireMusic, post: 151560, member: 3532"] 1. I'll agree with the others about setting the module levels "properly" I think Rob from jaded faith actually stickied a cool post on here about it somewhere. 2. I'd probably experiment with power tubes to better suit your tonal/feel preferences 3. In the amp itself trying a 5751 in the phase inverter spot instead of a 12ax7 and a couple of good quality 12ax7 in the other two slots (v2 isn't as critical unless you try the effect loop trick mentioned above) 4. A foglifter/mda board can make a pretty noticeable difference as well 5. Consider getting your modules "upgraded" I know that base mods from Rob can make a huge difference and aren't quite as expensive as the full on mods. Plus with a base mod he can pretty much give you whatever your heart desires of course within the confines of the MTS platform but Rob at jaded faith has shown us that a lot can be done. 6. New module tubes just be sure that the tube on the right is a Chinese or JJ tube as this position is a cathode follower and a lot of current production tubes like those from New Sensor tend to be prone to failure in that position Some other food for thought is while the cab/speakers you have may work great with your Mesa every amp is different sometimes certain things work better with certain amps/modules than others. I find that speaker/cabinet selection can be one of the crucial aspects to attaining a particular sound/feel from any amp not just in MTS. In any event as discouraging as some of this might seem don't give up just yet on MTS while it has its drawbacks it also has some major advantages and can really be dialed in to a multitude of different tones and settings.
