Hi everyone,
I’ve got some really crappy terrible distortion coming from my normally smooth and glorious Mesa Boogie Mark III. It almost sounds solid state in its distortion - crapharsh. I use PAF, low output humbuckers.
I’ve changed all the tubes and it still persists.
I believe it’s coming from the preamp, because when I turn up the master it doesn’t get worse. When I turn my guitar volume knob all the way down to ~10% it’s okay clean, but as soon as I increase the volume it begins to have this harsh distortion. I run my boogie with the volume at 8 and master anything above 2 for those Santana type tones. Put a boost on and it’s completely crapping out.
Since I changed every tube in there I’m confused. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
