Until I got my Express 5:25 out of the bedroom, I couldn't find much love for it. I really don't think in retrospec there is any bedroom aspect to the amp. It likes to be on. There was no *** to mine either in the bedroom on low volume. Changing from bedroom volume to playing outside volume...

My amp is working well. Tube quality is questionable. I do really use this amp a lot for a jammer and can almost always play it with the master volume up pretty good. So I guess I will go through tubes as I have. I just don't use 5 watt mode anymore as it just uses up the tubes too fast IMO...

Thanks for the reply, cho. It sounds amazing with my Express 5:25 plugged in. Amazing bottom end and just plain loud! I am running it as the only speaker plugged into the 4 ohm inputs. If I add the built in v30 it will only be 2 ohms.

I am not sure what this is, but a little reading tells me maybe 1980's possibly, so I am hoping for some help. It's a 2x12 vertical Slant Half Back. On top where the slant is there is a Black Shadow MC-90 by Celestion at 8 ohms and 90 watts. On the bottom in the closed section is a Black Shadow...

One OT glows more then the other in 5 watt mode. And I have been trying 5 watt mode and even going with the the 8 ohm speaker in the 4 ohm slot. Playing a lot too. So maybe it was time since it came back solid.

Put in my last set of Mesa EL84 Red and she is jangling and loud. I think it's time for the cooling fan again. I had stopped using it in the winter and at venues where it is a comfortable temperature even on stage. But Sunday is the real workout day for the amp and it was hot. Looking back we...

Well, she fell on her face during a show again yesterday. All was good, switch to do a solo and nothing. Reached back for some master volume and nothing. I turned it all the way up and got low volume. Usually it will start squealing before 3 oclock. There was no sustain. It's been several...

Just pushing the conversation a little. All the options are good. We all have different expectations.

Compliments. I live for those! LOL I use a mic and get them too. But I like the way I sound standing in front of my amp and the pa. Your turn.

Google it for opinions. Last I did they all said tone suck. But everyone buys a tube amp with different expectations.

You mic it. There is no line out on the Express 5:25.

This affects us too. I will call and get prorated too. Kinda sucks for the kids.

I used to install mall type in the ceiling PA systems. It's a high voltage wire that delivers the sound and each speaker taps into it with a wattage rating. They don't vibrate much at all and they are pretty darn loud even tapped as low as one and two watts. With my Mesa 1x12 at jam level I can...

I think you would ruin your home IMHO. You are essentially making your ceiling a 4x12 cab. The vibration would be "epic dude". Is that opinion too cautious?

I used a Celestion G12-65 speaker once. The G12-65 does not bark like the Vintage 30. It's a bit more 80's rock and roll as advertised. I like it, it's very usable. The speaker was out of my buddies Marshall 2x12 combo.
