Opened up my amp (DC-5) and the resistor is not on the volume pot. Obviously it's on the circuit board. Is it the one directly behind the pot kind of hidden under the big blue capacitors?

I recently bought a lot of 12ax7 tubes some Mesa, GT and Ei and various others. I have a buddy who has a Heathkit IT-17 tube tester. It has a meter on it that basically has a a rating scale 0-100, Red,Yellow,Green. Which means either good or bad. All the tubes tested good with ratings between...

Had a post before about some issues the last time I used my DC-5. Volume spikes or drops depending on how you view it. When the volume changed it seemed like the tone stack lost effect also. Anyway when I bought the amp it had GT's installed in the power section. Stock mesa's in the preamp...

I've got a Crate 210 combo shell that I'm converting to an open back extension cab to use with my DC-5. It will not be my main cab, I've got a vertical Recto cab. But this will be a back up. Don't want to spend a whole lot. Ideas? Eminence, Celestion, Boogie? Would like to stay under $75, could...

Played my DC-5 for the first time in quit awhile. Been playing through some smaller amps lately. Anyway while playing I noticed a jump in volume. When it happened there also seemed to be a bit of what I'll call brittleness to the sound. Now I say there was a jump maybe I started with a drop...

50 watts is really too much. Considering trying to trade my DC-5 head for a DC-3. The other option is adapters. Will installing Yellowjackets or the Groove Tubes adapter in my DC-5 essentially give me a lower wattage DC-3? Also most of the adapters come with a set of tubes, when installing...

I have a DC-5 with the headphone feature, my question is how does this work with a 50 watt amp? Could you instead of headphones hook up a cab and drive it for low volume distortion? Would this work, hurt the amp or am I just nuts?

Anyone have a Mesa embroidered slip cover for a medium head that they don't use? $39 from Mesa. [email protected]

It seems silly to me to have the 2x12 Vertical Recto cab part of the Recto line when it doesn't match the heads. Wouldn't it look silly to have the head hang over the cab by an inch on each side? Does anyone run this way and have a pic? I might consider the Single Rec but I already have a vert...

Posted this question to the Modern amp forum also. I sold my Mark IV and am looking for either a DC-3 or DC-5. I just want a simpler to use amp than the IV. I am in no hurry and can wait for one of the 2 to come along but should I consider one of the Nomad or F-series. I really like the fact...

I sold my Mark IV and am looking for either a DC-3 or DC-5. I just want a simpler to use amp than the IV. I am in no hurry and can wait for one of the 2 to come along but should I consider one of the Nomad or F-series. I really like the fact that the Nomads are 3 channel but I really like the...

Looking for either head. I would prefer the newer ones with the leather looking tolex to match my recto cab and with the dual footswitch for both channel and eq switching. [email protected]

I have a Mark IV head with a 2x12 vertical Recto cab. While the Mark IV sounds great I am finding out what everyone says to be true, it is a tweakers amp. I simply don't have the time with work and other things to really sit and play with it like I should and it needs. I had a DC-3 combo before...

This may seem silly but what is the secret to winding up the cord and getting my footswitch installed in the back of my short head for traveling. I can't seem to get it stuffed in there and I'm afraid I'll break a tube so I just carry it in a box with cabels and stuff.

Does anyone have any experience with this thing? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crate-AXBX1-AxeBox-Amp-Accessory?sku=215030 Wonder if it will damage anything? Quiet practice with my Mark IV would probably be more enjoyable than my modeler.

I have a quad of EH 6v6's that I would like to trade for a pair of Mesa 6l6's. The 6v6's were purchased from Doug's and are bias rated for a Mark IV. I just didn't care for the more vintage sound. Probably less than 5 hrs on the tubes. Would like a pair of matched Mesa 6l6's. I want to go...

Does anyone have one of the Mesa Cordura covers for a Mark short head? The one that has the Mesa logo on it. Mesa has them at $29 so I'm hoping to save some bucks from someone who's not using it. [email protected]

My 2x12 vertical recto cab came with a canvas cover that has the mesa logo embroidered on the front. Does anyone have a cover like this for a Mrk IV short head? Where can I get one?
