I need to get one, my HRD sucks when i cant overdrive the tubes past 2, plus, hopefully ill be living in the city in a couple of months so i cant have it loud. I know THD has some but they are really expensive, any others out there for a little cheaper for my 40 watt tube?

see MASS.

Let me know how you like it Sennin. It's on my list but I'm dirt-poor at the moment. Have to wait a few months.

Fedex just stopped by and dropped off my Mini Mass!

Can't wait to plug it in tonight after work!

Yes, let us know how it is, I'm wanting to sell mine and get the new version with the tone switch.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you will love the way the clean channel sounds cranked.

ok....
Got it hooked up....

1. Suprised about how quiet it is! Have everything cranked to 11 on the Hotrod Deluxe and it's QUIET. The mini mass is on 10....there's no way that the neighbors can hear it.....I can still hear me strumming pretty well.

2. Suprised on how dirty the clean channel sounds....which I suppose makes sense when everything is cranked. But if I back the volume down to the point where I get really clean sounds.....I can barely hear it.

3. AWESOME tones out of the amp.....just wish it were a little louder!

4. What is the "Bypass" supposed to do? Because it doesn't seem to do anything.

5. The +6 treble switch helps out alot.

6. I wish there were just a little more volume. I've gone from the point wher e "1" is too loud....to "11" is too quiet.

+ on the tones
- on the volume!

.....maybe I have this thing hooked up wrong??

you should be able to adjust the attenuation pot for a little less attenuation.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I sent off an email to Ted Weber this morning.

I was able to adjust the amp/guitar to the point it was really sounding sweet! A little more volume and it will be perfect!

hmm, he might say you need the 100 watt version.

something's not right here. if the amp's crank and the attenuator is dimed, it's still going to be loud as shit.

check the connections.

amp output -> input of minimass -> output of minimass -> speaker

Amp is at 11 and Weber is at 10....Gain 11, Master at 11....

I can't get above bedroom level volume.

I unhooked everything and hooked it back up.....I'm going to try it again tonight.....maybe I do have something crossed, but it's a pretty easy hookup.

*shrug*

you're not plugged into the line out are you? because that would explain why the bypass switch isn't doing anything and why it's very quiet.

plug the speaker into the output jack. the line out jack is for direct recording or slaving into another amplifier.

It was labled pretty clearly...."To Speaker"...."From Amp"....."Line Out".

I'm going to unhook everything when I get home tonight. Maybe I have the "To Speaker" running to the wrong spot? I think there are 2 ports right next to eachother.

it's just the only think i can think of unless the unit is defective.

and don't take it the wrong way. it is simple but i used to have a THD hotplate and had it backwards for a while.

I just downloaded the manual for the amp.....I might be plugged in to the external speaker....not the main speaker.
