if you still have the old preamp tubes do the following - put all the old preamp tubes in, if those sounded all right before the swap.. Then start swapping one old pre-tube for a new one .. only one at each time and try figuring out which is the problematic one.. sometimes you buy a batch of...

Well, I'm from central Europe. The thing is, we only have a two year warranty period. Mine is 2,5 years old huh..

following the latest problems during a gig - So apparently the amp worked for like 2 practices, but then it just stopped producing sound. I opened up the amp to take a look inside and the V1 was completely burnt out, I mean totally white and even the glass was broken so I puled it out in two...

same with mine.. if i switch from mk4 to extreme there is a significant increase in volume, bass and treble..

in addition to the previous posts, I'd suggest removing the amp handle, too just purely because the screws are quite long and pierce through the chassis and come out on the other side which sometimes causes the inner cables to get stuck mainly when you pull the amp back inside the chassis...

just had a chance to take a look at the amp.. it's really weird because I got it wired in the rehearsal room yesterday, no sound.. then I set the loop to active, still nothing, then I switch back to hard bypass which I always use and BAM here's the sound.. can't imagine what could have...

thanks steveo, I checked all the following: -speaker cable, guitar cable, wireless line 6 g50 -going straight with just the guitar cable in -i do not use fx loop, therefore i'm always on hard bypass mode - mute button was disengaged, therefore all should work at the end i quickly borrowed a...

hey guys, just came back from a gig we played last night. Once I wired up my mark 5, all of a sudden there is no sound coming out of the amp. I checked the power tubes all seemed to be lighting up, I checked the fuse which in that dark room seemed to be ok. All lights come up, channel...

I myself have the very same experience as you guys. What usually sounded awesome in our rehearsal place turned out to be a rather thin/shrilly/telephony kind of sound once I took the amp live onstage. I was completely disappointed with the amp.. So much that I'm still thinking of selling it...

thanks for all your ideas! I'll give them a try to find out what works best. hmm talking about 90w vs 10w.. I don't like the way the amp sounds and feels when set to 10w. It just lacks the headroom and fullness for the style we play.. it's sounds as if it lost about 30% of it's body and the...

we're playing a gig tomorrow at one of the local venues and I'll be certainly using my Q3HD to live record the whole thing just to sit and listen to the whole thing.. do you have any specific tips for live mic placement which you consider as always delivering constant, stable, good sound results?

I see what you mean with the first two slides fairly low. I somehow tended to reduce them because I felt that the sound gets too rounded and pumping too much bass with the 7th low B string, but I will give it a try today as we're rehearsing.

Hey guys, I hope you are all doing well and that things are going fine in your lives. I might have a couple of questions/concerns that perhaps some of you may know how to solve. Recently, I've been gigging with my mark 5 and although I am completely pleased with the sound I get in the...

what's wrong with the bass know? i've learnt that i use it sparingly with my 7string guitar (around 9 o'clock) and I may crank the bass pre-EQ knob when using teles and single-coil pups up till 12-1 o'clock.. it helps the tone get fuller.. so, to me it's just another dimension of tweakability..

i thought the coloring is based on the bias setting of the amp. I would like to avoid tubes running too hot or too cold you know.

Hey guys, I've noticed one thing. My mesa mark 5 has a quad of str-440 red labeled 6L6s. The thing is - I cannot find any red ones on teh internetz. I am located in Europe and all of our distributors claim only yellow ones are available. I've check ebay.com and it seems I can find green...

Weird things started happening suddenly, I get a loud feedback when playing staccato on channel 3 mark 4 mode when i push the gain and treble further than past 2 o'clock. on 2 it seems ok, but even if i raise it by a tiny hair, it starts squealing when playing palm mutes.. gets worse the louder...

ok, tried plugging it the other way around.. the problem remains persistent.. I guess I'll try to get the mesa replacement cable.. i only hope it's not the switching unit, cause where I live it's be quite expensive to get a replacement (EU)..

thanks for your insight.. i did not try to plug it the other way around.. I just simply disconnected both the head and the FS and tried reconnecting.. I'll do a search as well.. thx

Hey guys. I've run into a small problem last night at a gig. My footswitch stopped switching channels 1,2 and 3. All other functions were running smoothly, Reverb works ok, solo as well as the fx loop. But suddenly I could not make it switch the most vital part -channels.Have any of you had a...
