Kinda steep for just a jack but looking at the Mesa price of cables it's not THAT bad. So are the 5 pin outs on the Mesa basically a midi plug? I think I have a long spare midi cable that I haven't used since the good old days of drum machine midi programming...so I can hack it up and solder...

Oh, wow...Fender30 you're a Champ! You know - didn't think of that but possibly I can also do a mod there, although it might hit the resale value. TBH I don't need the switch itself as I have several switchers that should control that either via midi or one of these channel switch things that...

EM Custom responded in about a day - they'll have these available in March, so most likely I'll follow up and get me one of these. https://emcustom.eu/eshop/index.php?id_product=35&rewrite=xxx&controller=product&id_lang=1

Thank you, duh...I run it in 5 watt mode at the moment, so no glow on the two internal ones. One tube failed out of the box - just bad one thru Tubedepot. When I think about it last time I used them one of the 8 12ax7 failed straight out of the box. Wrote for a replacement, hopefully they sent...

OK, looks like a defective tube straight out of the box, it sucked on air and broke, took it out, luckily no damage to amp. Got a spare from an older set, all lights up ok and amp works fine. They all light up red but the furthest two also have a bluish tinge in there. Don't know if that is...

I started getting some issues playing, losing power and fidelity for a little bit (amp gets dull) and then comes back. After talking to Mesa they told me to try new power tubes - so I ordered 4 EL84s for this amp and changed them. Now one of the power tubes won't light up. I got matched tubes...
