Keep rocking IronSean! You are in the right place. Wow! Elpelotero you have been a member for a long time. Old folk's home is what this place is. Also, a library of knowledge. I'm 46. This month I celebrate 23 years of being an Ironworker. Next month I celebrate 32 years of playing...

There are (4) 12AX7 and (1) 12AT7 preamp tubes inside a .50Cal+.

Most likely a tube problem. If it is, taking them out and putting them back in will do absolutely nothing to help.

I've been watching a lot of the Rig Rundown videos on YouTube. Those professional techs have it down pretty good backstage, running two rigs - one for the stage and one for the PA. I honestly do not like large shows. Almost hate them. The last big show I went to was Anthrax, Testament and...

Hey, GTS! Where did the snakeskin tolex come from?

I think it is in great shape. Just too much. Check out the cabinet underneath my Racktifier. THAT is beat up. Here you go - http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=71471 That stack will be getting a Mark V head and snakeskin tolex. The Racktifier will be getting a pair of MESA...

+1 Might even bring your reverb back. On the .50Caliber+ one of the 5 preamp tubes is the reverb tube.

Not to make things too confusing, but both my amps I looked in just have month and year.

That gives time for someone, that has had the same problem or knows more than myself, to chime in. 1 Yes. Some brands are better, to some people, as far as dependability quality. And some offer different grades of performance quality. Mainly in preamp tubes. Such as, I currently have 4...

Great find on the video! Sounds great. Yes, the Quad/295 is cheaper. I bought my 295 for $600 and Quad for $430. Probably could get a red stripe for around that. Just to give you a warning. The Quad/295 is extremely heavy because of it being two separate amps in one package. Total of...

Here's one. Kinda high priced. In the state above you...

Yes, very hard to find.

Your buddy is probably right. The most part, maybe 95% of Mesa amp problems are tube related. Sounds like your tubes are worn out. Your amp takes 2 EL84 power tubes and 5 12AX7 preamp tubes. Here is the cheapest I could find on eBay. -...

I'd like to get two MESA Traditional cabinets for the Racktifier. The Racktifier is sitting on my future Mark V snakeskin stack. Three cabinets have been tainted. #3,5 & 6 cab 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 speaker breakdown for each cabinet 1 C90 (w/original top back panel) - EVM-12L...

Find two Mesa/Boogie metal grill cabinets with EVM-12Ls. Take out any casters. Set them side by side with their feet planted on the ground. This is the only picture I have of any cabs side by side. Newer V30 and older EVM-12L
