I had 2 original coffee can 8 ohm EV SRO 12's in an old Fender cab that was so heavy it was pretty much a hernia waiting to happen. When I saw the thread about building Thiele cabs, I thought that might be a good alternative. The 2 Thieles are still pretty heavy, but manageable. I'm told the...

The tubes are definitely the right first choice. I have a full set of JJ's in mine from http://www.eurotubes.com . He sells sets specific to the Amp with options as to gain in the 12ax7 slots. I went with 6L6's and a moderate gain boost. Sounds killer. The LDR's are also a possible problem. Mesa...

I buy leather remnants. I made an industrial strength cookie cutter from a strip of sheet metal that I use to cut out the shape, then finish cutting any uncut portions by hand. Tedious, but effective. added photo of leather corners soaking just before applying to show shape...

Just thought I'd post a couple of pix of the Thiele cabs I just finished building. Thanks to all those who posted plans, pix, and advice. http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu66/mefgames/Thieles/IMG_3033.jpg http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu66/mefgames/Thieles/IMG_3035.jpg Thanks, mike

2 8 ohm speakers wired in series results in a 16 ohm cab, wired in parallel would be 4 ohms. mike

I started building a couple of Thiele 1 x 12 cabs, and have run into a problem. I was all set to front mount the speakers to the baffle board, but the mounting screws were to close to the speaker cutout and would have made a poor mount. I have run out of the 18mm birch I was using, and my...

If you're still looking, this just came up on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330366880983&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1079 Good Luck, Mike

12 x 21 1/2 x 28 1/2, and heavy. One of the best amps Mesa ever made, IMHO !!! mike

The cabs look excellent. I have a couple of questions about the plans. I printed out the plan listed in this thread, but the list of pieces comes up a bit short. Items 1 thru 7 total up to 12 pieces. I count 22 pieces in the first pic you posted. What are the dimensions for all the bracing...

Buy the Trem !!!! Mike

Could someone please give me the dimensions for a headshell for the Mark IIb. I want to build one for my son in NY as a gift. I do not have access to the amp, and do not want to spoil the surprise. Thanks, Mike

So I'm doing some amp investigating for future purchases, and I come across some info on the Mesa Triaxis preamp. The more I read, the more intrigued I become with all the capabilities of this unit. Don't get me wrong, I truly enjoy the chase and acquisition of new equipment, but as I'm getting...

I have had my Trem for some time now, and I have finally become aggravated with the knobs due to the difficulty in seeing exactly where they are set. They are the stock knurled chrome with a set screw. I would like to replace them with knobs that have a distinct marking on them for easy...

Mesa is old school customer service. They back their products 100%. mike

RoadKing on ebay with case and footswitch plus $ 1500 pickup only in Saginaw Mi If I was in the market, I'd be all over this. Take a look...

I am fortunate to live close to Mesa, so when I took my used, out of warranty TremOverb to them for repair, they replaced what they said were original, and problematic LDR's for no charge. How's that for customer service ? mike

Not sure if this works for all speakers, but when I bought my Eden 210XST, I read that you could hook it up to your stereo, and let it play continuously for 8 to 10 hours at a medium volume. When I get new equipment, there's always that moment of indisgression of, "Let's see what this thing can...

Oops, I guess I should have mentioned the shielded one goes on the connection towards the front. Mike
