    Fave Replacement Speaker DC-3

    Hi Bottle Rocket-I recently got a DC-3 combo and found the Celestion V30 too harsh and replaced it with a MOJO BV30H.It's a world of difference and suites me.I just installed it yesterday and have only been able to get 2-20 min.sessions in,it should only improve after breaking in.I had tube...

    DC-3 My first Mesa

    I did get a chance to crank it up today,Man I do like what I hear.After a couple of hours I decided to tackle the GEQ problem.Some how the eq board got pushed so far on to the standoffs that it took a bit of grease and some judicious prying to release it.I noticed the chassis at the GEQ was...

    DC-3 My first Mesa

    DC-3 My first Mesa

    Now that the adrenaline has worn off I have to say my first impression is of an amp that is somewhere between lifeless and dull,with scratchy pots.Cosmetically the amp is in excellent shape and came with a peavey footswitch that seems to work but with no LEDs on the footswitch and the way the...

    DC-3 My first Mesa

    YeeHaa,I came home today and found My DC-3 had arrived.Plugged it in and NOTHING-twiddle and jiggle to no effect,so I put in on the bench to pull the chassis and see the mute switch is engaged.Problem solved.My initial feeling was that the amp lacked bottm end,but I couldn't crank it my wife...

    DC-3 My first Mesa

    I got a Combo-I also have a couple of old Celestions and an old Jensen P15.I can't find specs anywhere(Dimensions ,weight).How do I determine replacement footswitch replacement type or are they easy to build? What's up with the FX loop mods? Why do people change it?
