I've experienced something similar. I only hear it when I'm not playing. It's like a low rumble. Ever since i bought this amp used 2 months ago. My luthier loaned me some used, but healthy original stock Mesa power tubes. They made a difference but did not totally remove the problem. Luckily, I...

i bought my MESA DC-5 for 350.00 USD = 235.069 EUR sure thats better than average but i think 1000 EU is too much!

honestly, remove the old tolex. it can be a pain but well worth it. the smoother the surface you cover, the smoother the cover. it'll make the cuts & corners clean to work with the wood and nothing on top. trust me. i was totally lucky that the tolex on my dc-5 was thinner than paper. ive never...

thank you. getting the original 15+ year old tolex off, was gonna be more trouble than it was worth. it was so thin, it didn't get in the way. it had almost no profile what so ever. we thought we'd have to do this job at least twice to get it this clean. the material we used was lined vinyl...

we left the old tolex on. it was paper thin, almost thinner than wall paper.

Thanks you guys, that's awesome to know. its only been a short time but im starting to feel the same way about my dc-5... check this out: I recovered my DC-5. A good & talented friend and myself tackled this project today. Our first time ever, from beginning to end. It was from around 4pm-10pm...

A good & talented friend and myself tackled this project today. Our first time ever, from beginning to end. It isn't perfect but it's close! 1995 Mesa/Boogie Dual Caliber DC-5 Custom in Rave Bordeaux. It's much darker in person... BEFORE DURING AFTER

yeah the board sections having a timeline can help, or obstruct depending on being correct or not. I mostly want to know as I'm trying to learn about my amp. Mesa cs gave me a "window" that my amp was from 93-96 or so. kinda vague. glad i called... I posted this thread, and though fairly short...

i'm going to go with the catalog info and not a young cust serv worker in late 2009, who was probably a kid in 1991! right on Boogie Board!

Yesterday I replaced both power tubes with original stock Mesa STR 420 6L6's. the amp sounded much better. then we replaced the #2 & 3 pre amp tubes with original stock Mesa 12AX7's, no change at all. I know i should have changed one preamp tube at a time until i got an improvement but had...

Thanks, that's some good info... It's making this weird noise and I think I'll drop it off for service in Petaluma as I live fairly close by...

So Mesa customer service is just passing out totally wrong info? that seems strange but somehow believable. They are after all in Nor-Cal and they are bordering on Mendocino County, puff puff pass...

no love at all... hello? i really do appreciate anyones time & effort. and I give thanks in advance.

oh ok... i take that to also mean other Dual Calibers have other years. that would make sense, as I'm guessing. Thanks for the info.

well i can honestly say i'm a BillBoard charted producer/composer & engineer/studio and we've been telling people our gems for ever. For over 20 years we support our community by sharing our "secrets"... The point is, go ahead and ask him. Worst that could happen is he'd say no. Right? Live a...

Talked to Mesa Customer Service today and was told that they made DC-5's from around 93-94 to 99. so what gives with the pre 91 DC section on here? just curious as im studying and learning about my new Mesa... thanks :)
