Australian dollar is currently worth 69 cents US. Has anyone in Australia asked the price on an export JP 2C? Someone's gonna have to buy them new so there are at least some to buy 2nd hand... down the track! I'm expecting these will be keepers, nothing less. By the way studio 22 also = Master...

Hi Salty Frog, Not working on all channels? I'd recommend at least calling Pro Audio in Canberra. They have resident techs who are likely some of the most experienced techs' on mesa this side of the Atlantic. Talk with them and they will probably help you narrow down the actual cause of the...

Anyway, the Mark V's IIC+ mode has a monster crunch tone, but most people will never turn a Mark V up loud enough to experience it. + 1. These are capable big venue items. Even in a good rehearsal room unless the drums are micked these amps can be too much. Recently I had both my MkII and MkV...

Two IIC+ amps in one amp plus clean! Foot and Midi Switchable! Very specific objective. Anyone think Mesa would release it if it didn't meet it?

Work with your drummer and front of house tech to get the right levels at sound check then everything sounds best. If it's a small venue where you're relying on the amp's volume for front, then you will know what settings you need for each song through rehearsal only if you practice at stage...

Don't move your amp around whilst playing through it. How can you even do that anyway?

That's all. Merry Christmas everyone. Nice and warm here in Australia, very hot in some of our States actually. Great guitar playing weather. I hope everyone gets to spend time with family and friends and a also some time playing their favorite guitars and Boogies. Got my Christmas present a...

Nice! I had noticed the jack on the underside of the chassis, but thought nothing more of it...until now. Being able to drop the eq and reverb on and off adds real functionality. (not comparable to the functionality of the V models). After all these years...still keeping secrets from me. Thanks...

I did not know you could switch reverb and eq on a IIC! Does this require a modification, or is it standard, if standard did the MkIIC RG's come with a specific footswitch for reverb and eq? I have possibly out-noobed myself once again.

"Technically... double the power only adds about 3dB of overall volume." (Have to edited my own thread reply from 10hrs ago. Please ignore the following misinformation I posted: ["3db increase is a doubling of volume. (nonlinear)"], That (my) statement is simply not true. Editing and not...

Nice score. Does it have a Roland pickup built in, or is it a separate attachment? I have a synth but it requires the pickup to be stuck on near the bridge. Let us know how it sounds.Have you got it yet?

That info is golden. Explains why some preamp tubes are better suited to specific positions. I hadn't considered that each channel mode put different stresses on its corresponding tubes. Only makes sense. I got Ch.2 sounding better but not fixed. I ended up buying two new 12AX as all my old ones...

It's good to have back-ups. Good luck. I hope you're plugging in to your mkiii again soon.

Hi, Sounds like you're on the right track. I can't advise you if the part number you have is the right one or not, hopefully someone can Those switches should be common. Assuming your old switch went HR and the wires are ok it should be a straight forward swap. If the wires got too hot the...

Thanks for the response elvis. Every day something new. I can't believe I never knew this before. Is there a best method for testing both A and B paths in 12AX7's? Given each amp is different, I assume the method would be unique to each amp type. Given this is a MkV thread, I guess we should...

Hi everyone I have a problem with my MkV channel 2 sounding weak as if there is a second note breaking up in there. Most obvious when playing single notes in Edge and Crunch. To recount, the amp sounded great like a normal V got awesome tone in every channel. Then developed a buzz in one of the...

I guess I have an obvious opinion on whether rings are a hazard, I'd been up and down on my truck the same way thousands of times without an issue. IMO day to day, yes rings are a hazard. That said, while I only did the damage a few days ago I already think I'll get my ring bent back into shape...

Thanks for your sentiments Markedman. Looks likely to be a 6 week layoff due to the bone being damaged and missing skin, otherwise tendons and joints' survived fairly well and I still have good sensitivity at the tip. The specialist said this type of incident is not uncommon and that people...

Things fail. New Old, well used, or abused, even if they are wrapped up and put away for years then turned on once, they can fail. Electronics suffers from discrete random failures. Reliability is quality and I can safely say the Vintage Boogies are reliable and of high quality. Slightly over...

Too gory to post photos but just had the misfortune of partially degloving my left (ring) finger thanks to my wedding ring. 8hours ago. Just out of Hospital emergency department. I'd heard stories and now I've learned the hard way. Very scary. I see a specialists at a Hand surgery clinic first...
