Glad to hear it was that simple. It was a relief to me to find out something similar with mine.

My F50's mid pot didn't work at all. Turns out it was broken. $6 part.

Whoa what wait what? Really? That's awesome! How/why does it work like that? I know next to nothing about amp circuits; this sounds like the sort of magic I'd eagerly pay somebody to do for me. :D

Excellent, thanks!

It really is incredible how well it works.

Hopefully this is the right place to ask this; I apologize if it isn't. I've never shipped heavy items before. How should I calculate what to charge for shipping? Do I take the initial payment, ship the item, then charge for shipping?

Click the thumbnails for gigantic blurry pictures. If you want better pics I'll attempt to get them; I'm probably the worst photographer on earth. TA15. The amp has a few marks of wear. $600 + shipping. Includes bag, foot switch, foot switch cable, and power cord. It's under warranty until...

Long story short, I want one. I love my f50 widebody combo. The only things I don't love about it are its size and weight. The short head configuration seems ideal. How often do they turn up? Are they worth more than an f50 combo? Could I, say, trade my combo for one or sell my combo to buy a...

How would I go about doing that? I don't intend to mod my amp anytime in the foreseeable future (if at all), but I'm curious.

Excellent post! Thank you very much, that's some great info. Yeah, the tube diagram is slightly baffling to me; is there any particular reason that they'd have the green channel also use V2?

greyblooz, please try the 6072A and let us know how it goes! :D

Okay cool, thanks for translating. I was operating under the mistaken assumption that V2 did nothing but add gain to the second channel. Working from that incorrect understanding, I had been wondering if there was a way to remove V2 from the signal path; to remove the tube and then jump the...

No? Is there anybody who would know this sort of thing?

From what I understand, the F50's signal path looks like this: V2-Tone-V1-V3a-Master-EQ-FXLoop-V3b-PowerAmp V1 is the "gain" tube for the second channel, right? If I were to bypass V1, would channel 2 become a clone of channel 1? Or if I wanted to dial back the gain on Channel 2, could I...

Would something like this help? If I'm reading what it does correctly, it steps a signal down from line level then back up again. I've never used one and don't even have an effects loop, so don't quote me on that.

I can see using it like this: dime the amp, use the pedal to determine the amount of gain when the guitar is at 11, then use the guitar's pot to clean it up from there. Maybe it's the "on the fly" part that William G. Sacks is going on about. In fact, I'm betting that's the thing, that it'd...

Sorry to drag this up, but I thought it'd be better than starting a whole new thread to ask the same question. I saw the above quote on this site: http://homepage.mac.com/mesaboogie/MarkSeries.html. Does it hold any water? Where'd it come from? Who's this William G. Sacks fellow? Anybody...

My new used f50 isn't responding to the channel 2 tone controls. The gain, reverb, and master knobs all work, but not the treble, mid, or bass. Channel 1's controls function perfectly. The profile I'm getting from Channel 2 sounds suspiciously like Channel 1 with the mids dimed and zero treble...
