**(spoiler alert - Sounds insane BTW)

Oh yeah, thanks for the input for sure matey. That schematic(s) you produced is amazing, that was definitely part of the rebuild. Love your work.

Got the guy some new clothes. and chopped the combo in half. looking slick... I'll get some sounds in as soon as I can get to the jam space.

Here it is basically finished: Just need to finish converting the Combo to a headshell.

So I tore everthing out, sanded & repainted the chassis, designed a new board that would slot into place over the existing socket holes - let me tell ya, it's pretty **** tight in there. I disassembled a lot of the pots & replaced the tapers with new CTS pot tapers, as the pull pots are...

I posted this over at SLOCLONE, Thought you guys might find it interesting too... Using the (just updated, non-coincidentally) SLOCLONE schematic: http://sites.google.com/site/danoampstuff/mesa/Mesa_MK2C+_SLOCLONE_v2.pdf Had this one lying around for years (since 2013), bought this MK2B Combo...

I've updated the SLOCLONES version (finally). Should be 99% correct. Check out the JB version for and impressive amount of extra info on mods etc. This is just what we worked out from trawling gutshots for months. A rebuild of a MK2B which I converted to MK2C+ forced me to fix the schematic...

I would be shocked if anyone could pick the difference in tone or noise levels, etc. I believe the difference is minuscule. Interesting reading here: https://www.aikenamps.com/index.php/where-to-connect-the-outside-foil-on-capacitors

it's just the file extension! (*.DSN). There's a new version of my SLOCLONE with much more colour added (and a bunch of fixes). Yeah, that's the flyback diode, doesn't affect tone. It's just for protecting the output transformer (to some extent) if the amp is played without a speaker...

90% sure It's 1M on non-EQ models & 100k on GEQ models. 1M on GEQ models will get you to full volume at about 2 on the control!

He means HE could still pick out the 2C+ blindfolded :lol:

the power supply / OP stage part of the schematic has the LDR Types. I think you are after a VTL5C1

you mean the suspension (the bit that joins the cone to the cage)? If so I would recommend using one of those tumble dryer sheets (the fabric softener, anti-static things) cutting out a small patch, and gluing it in place with silicone, as stokes said. this is great reinforcing, and because they...

to short the windings out to the stack, you would need to remove the laminations from the transformer (easier said than done believe me :lol: ) and damage the bobbin / mylar cheeks somehow. The varnish (usually polyurethane off the top of my head, but could be wrong) is predominantly there to...

Find a guitar shop with a MK4, and take yours in to compare it. Then you'll know for sure.
