    My Ax8 froze mid-gig

    Just one thought, maybe the AXE8 and FX8 do not share the parts that are causing the holdup ... if it even is a parts problem. Doubt it is anything else, unless the 2000 I ordered is keeping others from getting theirs :)

    Tweeter squeal ruined the rehearsal last night!

    I experience that problem in small clubs, I have to turn the gate up (make it cut more and hold longer). But in a small club, you can't get away from the tweater much, so if I turn the wrong way after a song, I get squeel city. Small price to pay for the best tones of my life.

    ALL Mesa amps are a labor of love, they all require tweaking to find that sweet spot. PITA if you ask me, but the sounds are great if you get there. Not the same beast, but I had an early Tremoverb head that sounded different everytime I powered it up. Makes you question your sanity LOL
