I build and repair amps. I have had my Mesa Maverick since the 1990s and bought it new. I think the hum is a design flaw. I have looked at the circuit and tried a number of things (tubes, capacitors, grounding) to get rid of the hum with no success. I still like my amp, and try to use it at...

Got two beauty RCA grey-glass 6V6GTs over Christmas (parents' attic). Wow these are nice in the Blue Angel. I had planned on replacing the original 6v6s in the Blue Angel, back when I got it in 1996, but I'm not paying stupid money for tubes that originally sold for like $5. I picked up a few...

Here it is ready for surgery...

I fix and build amps, and hang out mostly at the amp garage. Yesterday one of my Mesa Rectifier amps stopped working. It was my Blue Angel that I have had since 1996. Here is a clip of it in action (no distortion pedal) : http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6167091 Anyway, I have yet to get it...
