You get the amp and the Voodooman footswitch. There are some cosmetic blemishes you can see in the pics. The metal bar for the back is missing, that's the way I bought it. The amp was repaired by Mike B at Mesa not too long after I bought it. The repairs were sorta kinda chronicled here...

Bump, $600

Bump, just got back from vacation.

I gotta pay for a few car repairs, and I'm headed off to college. I don't need this AND my Mark IV, and I happen to like my Mark IV better. The amp has been recently repaired by Mesa. I had some issues with this amp, as chronicled here. I have the repair slip thingy if you want to know what...

I'm looking for some sort of unit I can plug my headphones into or run through a regular stereo. I was looking at stuff like the POD Live or GT10, but I'm not sure which will suit my needs better. I'm looking mainly for something that will give me a good saturated distortion sound with...

The poor man's copyright is to make a copy of whatever you made, put it in a sealed envelope, and mail it to yourself. Just never open and you have proof that you did it first. I know people do this with written materials, I'm sure a CD or a tape or something is just as valid.

He says he's running the stock set :) Vox AC30 Custom Classic. I don't know if this is the newer reissue or what.

Maybe up to like 50 bucks?

Hey guys, I'm the kind of player that likes clear distortion and really little else matters. I don't notice nuance differences in tone. I have a teacher that is a total tone junkie, and I thought it would be cool to buy him some sweet sounding NOS tube for his Vox AC30. I need to buy him a...

I think it's a 1997 model, serial is F97xxxxx. The trem is a LoPro. I want to sell it because even since I got my 7 string this thing has just been hanging on the wall and collecting dust. The only flaw on it is a dent the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen on the back. It took me a while to...

Thanks! It was $160 of LDRs according to the packing list but they gave a $160 credit for them, pretty neat of them to do. As far as technical faults the amp had the LDRs and the bias pot (with the wrong bias set...) were the only ones present. Mike B also said that the gain pots were replaced...

So it's on it's way back. LDRs were replaced. Tubes were ridiculously hot because some genius installed a bias pot and had twice the correct current going through the tubes. In other news I found out myself that Mike B is a total G. It's not exactly news but hey.

Resurrecting this old post because I got around to actually tinkering a bit. The amp recently started intermittently going wishy-washy at band practice, and when I turned it off it chirped. Like there was a bird stuck in the tube. I figure this is not a tube issue as I hoped. I took all the...

Unfortunately neither issue seems to have been resolved with these tube swaps. The amp is still functional by my standards, but I'm worried about what could happen if I decide to crank the amp all the way one day. I swapped out both V4 and V5, and the situation hasn't changed at all. I'll try...
