That's certainly loud. If it helps any I made a post sometime ago about upgrading the crappy stock fan in my old Stiletto Ace combo after it started making a clicking noise through the speaker. If this fan runs off mains voltage that probably won't help but it might be worth a look.

Looking at the schematic for the dirty or 'lead' channel, there's room for some mods to make it better I think. I'm curious about the lack of cold clipper on this circuit, and maybe that's why it feels a bit bland and stiff on the drive channel? There's also a lack of gain to my ears. OK for...

He's come down from when he first listed it at $5,500.

Replacing caps is a simple process. The filter caps are the big ones, typically blue. They come out, new ones go in. You can just snip the cap off the legs then solder the new caps there by wrapping the new legs around the old and soldering it together. Electronically it's all the same. Just...

There's a guy in my town who's been trying to sell his Mk III for about 2 years. He's asking $4250 for it. That might explain why nobody has bought it.

I realise I'm 20 years too late to the Mesa DC party, but, I just bought a DC10 and will pick it up this weekend. Is there a comprehensive resource/one-stop-shop of these mods anywhere? I googled the terms in the listing but didn't find a whole lot. One presumes they've been scattered across the...

I was perusing the schematics of the F series amps for possible mods this week and something caught my eye. Namely, the contour switch on the F series amps and what it does to the sound. I was initially investigating whether it could be put on a pot for a sort of blend control and may have...

It could be, also could not be. Just take the back off and have a look man. It'll take you 2 minutes.

The accutronics tank code will be stamped onto the reverb tank itself so you can source a like for like..

If 5w will fit use a 5w. If a 3w has already blown that's not a great sign.

RIght click -> search with google lens. It's not exhaustive/comprehensive but covers the usual places (craigslist, reverb, ebay, etc)

Did they send photos along with it? If so, did you reverse image search and see where they got them?

The footswitch stopped working and you dismantled the amp? Did you take apart the footswitch enclosure? Considering it's whole life is being stepped on I suspect either a switch has died or a solder joint on the switch has come loose. Open it up and have a look. If it's a blown switch it's an...

It looks like it'd be trivial to wire up 1 jack and 2 switches. Can you just build your own?

Awesome. Thanks for the update. It's nice to be right.

That's not a source of anything. Where's the primary evidence? Where's the statement? It's a comment made by Fluff (also with zero evidence or citation) on a forum that got picked up and publicised. That guitar bomb article sure reads a lot like AI wrote it to pad out a nothing story with a word...

This thing is really good. I picked it up from a dude last week and gave it a bit of TLC such as cleaning out all the pots and sockets due to crackling and general background hiss I couldn't really live with, and also changed out 3/5 preamp tubes for ones I know to be good. It wasn't ******...

The the DR and don't use the stuff you want? Seems like the options are right there.

I had the non + 5:50 for about 2 months. It's the flubbiest, loosest, roundest, mushy amp I've ever played through. It didn't do anything for me at all, even after a change of tubes and speaker. It was like permanently being on the neck pickup. I understand these issues were remedied with the...

We also live in a world where a 20w will sell easier than a 100w amp, and a 4x12 sells for cheaper than a 2x12 on the used market. It's the current trend for lunchbox amps and a smaller, lighter setup. Big, heavy, 'complicated' amps aren't en vogue at the minute... which is good for people that...
