Mesa Boogie 2:Ninety Power Amp | A "Slightly" Technical View

[@MrDonc78]

I've had a 290 longer than any other amp I've owned. Such an important piece of gear imo. It comes in handy in lots of ways. Instant wet rig for wdw, pedalboard amp, reamping vst, adding more cabs to your existing amps with their line outs, (half power with any classic voiced pre is glorious), etc.

25 yr owner of a Triaxis/2:90 combo here. I haven't watched your Triaxis vid yet (will watch it after this one) but with the Triaxis in the Lead 2 'Mark type' modes, set bass very low, like 2 or less to get maximum tightness and keep your master volume at 4 or less, any higher and it starts getting muddy and your palm mutes get flubby. Also you want to crank the treble up to like 9 as it adds more gain and saturation and set mids around 4-5. I also set the 2 gain settings around 5 and use a boost (Electric Eye Mud Killer) to get the amp even tighter with more saturation. I do use the Deep and Modern settings with the 2:90 as well. I quit using the Dynamic Voice option and now use a Source Audio EQ2 pedal in the loop for EQ'ing the tone.

Thanks for the comment! I actually figured that out later when I was playing around, it's definitely not a device to figure out in 15 minutes. I think I will revisit this combo in one of the future videos, with all your input and give it another try :) Thanks and cheers!

Love the 2:90 power amp, its such a versatile tool...

[@slightlytechnical103]

It's really good. Works great with a bunch of preamps...

What prs are you playing and what pickups in them?

[@slightlytechnical103]

@atlanticsoftwash it's a 513 with stock pickups. You have another video on my channel on the mod I did to this guitars electronics, however, what you hear in this video is before I modded it.

@@slightlytechnical103 thanks brother. I saw that video of the modded pickups after I wrote the comment. Great sounding mod.
