Mesa Boogie Triaxis | A "Slightly" Technical View

[@johnharmon6730]

I've owned the Triaxis for years. You have masterfully analyzed and explained the modes and gain structures! Well done!

[@regor5150]

The TriAxis is a beast not many fully understand. They're intimidated by all the options and few rarely dive DEEP into the understanding behind how the controls affect each other, behind the scenes. For example, in the LD2 settings, the Treble control is actually a secondary gain stage. So you have Gain, Treble, AND Lead 2 Drive all affecting that gain's saturation. As always, RTFM and your eyes will be opened to so much more that it can do 😉

Great video. Explaining the switching and a run through of the modes. Nice.

[@ryankharl]

i love the sound of this preamp, however, it hisses a lot and sometimes uncontrollable.

[@AnthonyBullock1968]

Depending on the version - the 'marshall' mode (V1) was changed to a Rectifier add in board (V2. TX-4board) until the parts became unavailable.... then it changed back.

Glad you enjoyed it

Dunno if it’s you’re think at all, but Weezer did the Mark I think on “Say it ain’t so.”… one of my favorite feedback tones ever.

Since the triaxis is based on mesa mark amps, you should keep the bass low on lead modes in higher gain settings, and compensate with the graphic eq. In this case, since the triaxis doesn't have a graphic eq, just use the DV

What size of strings are on your guitar ? 012 ? Thanks for this detailed video of the majestic sound of this preamp.

[@slightlytechnical103]

I think 09s at the time

[@janschepenaar]

Thanks!! I use the triaxis with a mesa 50/50. Thinking about swapping it for a 2:90 when i van find one for a decent price. I have the dynamic voice modded. I hear allot of people about using external eq instead of the dynamic voice.

[@slightlytechnical103]

Hey! Thanks for the reply! Yeah the 50/50 is an amazing option as well, a friend of mine has one, sounds amazing. I didn't want to get too deep into the dynamic voice topic, still figuring out how to make these videos, but definitely it can be tweaked and adjusted. It works well, but since it is only one control, it is very hard to be surgical... As an upgrade for the dynamic voice, the opamp (TL072) stock, can be swapped with a high end audio amplifier opamp, such as LM4562 - gives it another layer of fidelity. Cheers!

​@@slightlytechnical103I'd be HIGHLY interested in a video explaining what you're talking about with regards to modifying the Dynamic Voice.
