On mine, in back, there are 2 reverb wires connected, one that is shielded (more Black), and one with no shielding. They connect on the opposite side of the amp from the standby switch. What connects right behind the standby switch is the power cord and the footswitch. Hope that helps, Mike

I put a set of JJ's in a IIB I gave to my son, and he loves them. Then I bought a set for my Tremoverb Combo, and it sounds great as well. I did have one 6L6 die in just 2 months, but I believe it was due to another problem. Mesa had to replace some LDR's, and replaced the bad tube. I called Bob...

Technical Dept would be more likely to answer questions. mike

RoadKing deal ?? on ebay auction almost over. This is a relist, I don't know why, but it's a great price. The guy says he has been offered $ 1400 cash and local pickup. He has 0 feedback, maybe $ 1500 and local pickup might get someone a great deal. I wouldn't buy it any other way. He's in...

I had the same problem with my TremOverb. Took it to Mesa, and they replaced some LDR's. (Light Dependent Resistors) Could be the tubes though. I'd start there. mike

Sorry to hear about the Trem problems. Did you try replacing the tubes ? Based on going prices, I don't think what you paid was way out of line. It's just disappointing to have to start fixing from day one, when all you want to do is play. If you've done everything you can, take it an...

Glad it worked out for you. Nothing like buying an amp, and having to repair it immediately. These Trems are probably one of Mesa's best. Great versatility from clean to crunch. You might want to think about eventually replacing the tubes. I bought mine used, and played it for about a year, then...

According to the manual, V5 is the reverb driver tube. Also, you might want check the connections from the reverb tank to be sure they are fully attached. Great amp. Good Luck ! mike

Mine is R-002900. Like I said in the other thread, the tech at Mesa told me they bought a bad batch. If it is a RARE problem, it stands to reason it would find me......lol Hope that helps, Mike

They replaced them at Mesa no charge even though I am not the original owner. One of the tech guys told me they had bought a batch that were not up to par. The sound was dropping out in one the channels, and the bad LDR's were the problem. Mike

I did hear a drastic improvement in the sound, but in all fairness, I changed from EL34's to 6L6's, and I bought the amp about a year prior and had no idea how old those tubes were. On another note, I had an issue with the amp about 2 months after I installed the tubes. I took it directly to...

I re-tubed mine with JJ's from Eurotubes. 6L6's and a little more gain in the preamp section. Also changed out the rectifiers with GZ 34's. Check out the full re-tube kits online at www.eurotubes.com Sounds Killer across the board. I think it cost about $ 160 with shipping. Good Luck, Mike

Check this link out for loudness to watts ratio. I found it very interesting. http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=603&highlight=f30

I own a TremOverb that I think is great. The only thing I can think of that would make it better is a 1/2 power switch. I just saw one on ebay that said his has that switch. Does anyone know if Mesa made any Trems with that feature ? I've never heard of it on a Trem. Thanks, Mike

I've had mine for just about a year and I think it works great. I got mine direct from VooDooMan, but sometimes I see them used on ebay for a bit cheaper. mike

I run a full set of JJ 6L6's with GZ 34 rectifiers and high gain preamp tubes from Bob at http://www.eurotubes.com/ Killer sound !!! He has different gain options for the preamp tubes. mike

primal, I have a Am Std Strat that I put a a set of Kinman Mark IIs in with the K9 switching option, and an HX 85 in the bridge( Kinman's answer to the P90). I play it through a TremOverb. I can get any sound you could want. Kinman's are hum canceling, so there is NEVER any noise. You could...

Anyone looking for a Roadster cheap ? This one will go quick !!!

I've owned mine for over a year, and am still impressed with the versatility of this amp. It gets the cleanest cleans right down to a killer crunch, and virtually everything in between. The fact that it has reverb puts it ahead of the rest. The tremolo I really don't use that often. I would...

Congrats !!! You have IMHO, one of the best amps Mesa ever made. $ 800 is a great price too. Mike
