I recently found a rectifier 212 (2FB) cabinet at a great price locally. The guy sent me a picture of the speakers, but they are definitely Chinese version vintage 30s. Don’t all the Mesa boogie cabinets have the UK vintage 30?

https://www.flickr.com/gp/26666571@N03/f5CkZ5 The top is the red channel and the bottom is the orange. First off, the pot ohm specs were reversed (red was 100k, orange was 25k) but even after buying replacement parts from Mesa my Orange channel presence doesn’t seem to have any effect on the...

Just bought it. I was looking for info in settings and found this thread. Any other Rev d’s?

Not sure if anyone still cares, but I’ve got a Rev D. SN 294xx. Transformers 56160, 562181. Choke 550381. Pictures https://flic.kr/p/2jDFoKV https://flic.kr/p/2jDKFVN https://flic.kr/p/2jDKFW4

I found a Mark III that I am considering buying. It has Mesa Boogie LTd in the back and Mesa Boogie Mark III on the front under the power/standby switches. This leads me to believe it is a very early amp but the seller swears it has a faint red marker line over the power cable. Also, it is...

As title states. Looking for a Mark III or IV under $900. I am in NC.

Thanks. I’ve tried that. V2 is supposedly for channel 2 and it had a 12at7 in it. I swapped that out for a few different 12ax7’s and a 5751 including a older US 12at7 and settled in a TAD 12ax7. I am continuing that process but sometimes I feel After playing a while it is harder to tell the...

When I tried it this amp I loved the clean but wasn’t too sure about the lead channel. It has enough gain, but seemed a lot “looser” than I wanted. I would call it a mudiness that I cannot dial out. Using a SD1 in front of the amp brightens it up, but I want that bright/tight feel on the...

I'm going to resurrect this one again. I recently picked up a small logo, cord attached Rev G. It has no "vol 7-10", a newer loop, the 8-16 outputs, Mark series transformer and the Red channel does a great impersonation of the Rev C's I've heard demonstrated. R-003863. I don't think the...

I finally got in touch with a tech (the local, recommended guy) but he is so busy he can't even look at it until 2 weeks from now. Called Mesa to make sure I get the right transformer part number and they said the amount of hum I'm hearing is normal. I guess I was just being overly cautious...

New set of Ruby 6L6’s didn’t fix it. I’m taking it to a tech to be looked at.

I went ahead and bought a set of tubes so we will see what happens.

Not yet. It has two different 6L6 duets (JJ and GT) and a random array of 12AX7’s but I was waiting to get an opinion on the hum before spending the $$ for all new tubes.

I had been on the lookout for a early Dual Rec at the usual sites and noticed one with small logo and attached powercord at a Guitar Center in the used site. I called and talked to them about it. Decent condition (some tolex scrapes and dust, plus mismatched tubes) but otherwise worked and...
