Under this link I commented about how great being close to Petaluma was AND the fact that my 6BQ5 .50 Caliber combo is plain incredible since George at Mesa Engineering has updated something and repaired other parts of this little amp...

I picked up my Heartbreaker (the v2 blackface) chassis tuesday the 21st of this month. It now has new MM power transformer, output transformer, and choke. Of course I double checked the chassis' ground on all the metal jacks and pots. Used the chopstick test on tubes and components...

I was looking for information on my Mark III simul-class output transformer and power transformer since I have time to kill this evening - being unemployed kinda ducks. I found a link here ... http://forum.grailtone.com/posting.php?mode=quote&f=3&p=101074 ... with the following information...

O.K. so it was on ebay. I have found there are very few sites via a google search which gives enought details about this pickup. The seller said it was out of his 1980 "parts" Fender Strat. It has a value of 7.83 ohms and has the yellow & black wires coming from the bottom of the bobbin once...

So I was in a quandary. I have been laid off (politically correct verbiage is "reduction in force"). Now going on three months. So too much time on my hands and I have been A/B'ing my amps even more. :shock: And my .50 Caliber (EL84 type) amp still sounds better than my Mark III. :?: ...

O.K. so this is strange to me. I have been real careful to match my tubes and pick specific preamp tubes. For this amp (it is not a plus) I am using the third set of Mesa EL84 (yellow) tubes since August of 2009. When I got this recent set about a month or so ago I was just using it without...

O.K. here is the list as it stand of this moment in time with my Mesa amps. My style is Montrose to Allman Bro to Fulson to Benson (tempered with a slight dash of Yngwie :roll: ). The .50 Caliber actually has the best tone to my ear but my wife says it is the Heartbreaker, which I think ties...

My first on-my-own post :shock: So I finally got around to testing the tubes to see why my .50 Caliber and my Heartbreaker have more volume and tone then my very early Mark III with a few of the the IIC+ parts [like the restamped IIC+ faceplate to reflect "Pull Rhythm 2" above Mid with Grey...
