Okay, I'm back with what I hope will be my final update on this thread! So, the house current seems to be good. I talked to Rich at Mesa repair and he suggested that I take it to their authorized guy that I've been seeing in order to have the four diodes replaced. Rich said that the diode issue...

Anybody out there have one? Anybody try one out? They seem kinda neat online...thinking of trying one. I would appreciate any input. Peace!

I really only regret selling one guitar...an early Epiphone '58-59 Flying V. It was a great guitar! It didn't have the rubber non-slip strip and the pickups were unpotted and sometimes fed back at high volume but it sounded great! I used to love taking it to jazz gigs just to see people's...

Thanks for your reply jaslan! Glad to hear about your new Mojotone! I have a friend who just finished a Deluxe clone and he loves it! Anyway, took my girl to the store today and...not a problem! I played for about two hours and it performed perfectly! All the guys at the store agreed that it was...

Hey, All! Just here for yet another update. Got my beauty back and almost immediately experienced the same problem except maybe a bit more pronounced than before! So, the problem is not the footswitch I.C.. Tomorrow, I'm going take her to the music store where I teach and see if I can replicate...

Well, it's been awhile! My amp is on its way back to me from Cali! It's been with them for almost a month! I talked to Rich in Repair...he said that they replaced the footswitch I.C.. They were unable to recreate the problem sooo...we'll see what transpires. Hopefully, it'll be fine and there...

Hello, all! An update as the saga continues. I talked to my tech after the last post and he suggested that I run the amp without the footswitch. I ran it like that for a week and; no problem! I replugged in the FS and, within about ten minutes, the problem occurred! My guy says that he now...

Okay, another brief update. I took the amp to an autourized tech yesterday. We/he didn't find anything obvious. He cleaned up a few solder joints in the area of the known diode issue but didn't replace them as my amp is outside the known serial numbers that had the bad diodes. We played it loud...

Hey, all! Just a short update. I've ruled out the rectifier tube; the problem occurs whether it is in or out. I've ruled out the power conditiong power strip; it still happens when plugged straight into the wall. I took it to another outlet; the problem still occurred. The power tubes show no...

Hey, all! I'm new to the forum and I'm having this problem as well. I have the Mark V combo that I bought new in August of this year. I just talked to the folks at Mesa today and they gave me a number of things to try in order to help diagnose the issue. Since I only run the amp in 90 watt mode...
