Thanks. That's what I've been thinking as well.

Do you think running a US unit on 100V hence with lower plate voltages could cause long term damage along the way? Sound wise I'm ok. It still sounds great!

Hi JJ, I bought amp used from US so I don't know how many hours/years these tubes have. I probably will not bother changing them either since in 5W mode all is working well. Actually even in the 30W mode there is no discernible trouble. The amp always had a little more than average hum so...

Just managed to hook my 5:25 to my CompuBias. Since I usually stick to the 5W mode I never bothered to test the darn thing. For one thing it turned out that the so-called perfectly matched Mesa tubes are not matched at all. You'll see below: Readings in 30W mode : Left - plate 339V, Ik 31...

I'm happy to give it a try and compare. Just so we compare similarly acquired values, can you please outline how you measure the output in watts? Thanks

Ok. Ended up buying both. They both have the new 200W EVM12L Classic reissue in them so I take it they are fairly new.

How about this? http://www.digimart.net/inst_detail.do?instrument_id=DS00841121 Size: 47 cm high, 37cm wide, 35 cm long Shape & dimensions look close enough to the Thiele design. Not a Mesa but great price available to me locally. What do all think? Does this look like a Thiele variant to you?

Super. At least I know this much now. Thanks for confirming my hunch!

Hi, I'm about to buy a Mesa cab from a retailer here in Japan but would like to ask for your input. The cab I would like to buy is the Mesa Thiele with EVM12L in it. This thing is listed as the Mesa / Boogie 1x12 Rectifier Cabinet...

Ok. Still looking for one and now I have a US shipping address... Please PM me if you have one for sale. Must be in great condition to be worth all the shipping cost for me. Thanks

Still looking for one. Please note I live in Tokyo / Japan and will need the willing seller to ship @ my cost including insurance. Please let me know. Thank you.

sadly not to me! Oh well. I'm in line for the next one to pop up in the market.

Anyone?

Good question. I have some one off NOS I'd like to try in this amp. That's why I'm interested in this.

Super. Thanks for your guidance. Will check & report in a couple weeks. Heading into a busy travel period. Thanks again.

Excellent idea. Extending this further... It could be possible to use the two amps preamps to cover the total 4 modes right? Lets say 5:25 serves the Clean & Blues and 5:50 serves the Crunch & Burn. You set the preamps as you need and then have two footswitches in front of you. You would...

Thanks much. How about the bias issue? In Class A mode is the amplifier using a Cathode Biased mode or Fixed Bias mode? Anyone know? Thanks much!

Please let me know if you have one in good shape that you wish to part with. Thanks

PM & email sent. Please let me know. Thanks

Don't forget the other reason which I think is the scariest 3) You can get killed trying ... Please people. Don't try to even peek inside one of these things if you're not trained to service tube amplifiers.
