"After reading these posts I went to my amp (5:25) and started messing with the EQ. I still don't get the folks saying the EQ is not very active." I don't think anyone said anything about the 5:25 series not having an active EQ, quite the contrary, I think most folks who have a 5:25 find the EQ...

Mine sounds anything but thin. Clean channel is outstanding. Sounds like you have tube issues.

Sorry for the delay, crisis at work has had me tied up. I bought it directly from customer service. Just told them which chassis I had and they were happy to take my order. Even gave me a choice as to which logo I wanted on the grille. If I remember right, it took them about 3 weeks from order...

Should have read your post more carefully. Mine is a 5:50 Express, not an Express plus. Not sure if the chassis is the same. Apologies :oops:

Did mine about two months ago, it was right at $300.00 with the new reverb pan. Slid the chassis out of the combo and right into the new cabinet, fit like a glove. Cabinet was very high quality like all things Mesa. For me it was worth the money, and it quieted some tube rattle as an additional...

Thanks all for the advice and direction. "And for the rest of us who aren't aiming for the compressed train wreck noise..." Hmm.. can't say that applies to me, I'm not a metal head. My tonal preferences lean more to the likes of David Gimour, Joe Banamassa, Alex Lifeson, and Robin Trower to...

Hey Mafia, I was glad to run into your post, I'm suffering from the same 5:50 tone issues. I know tone is a subjective thing and describing it can be pretty difficult. But my amp has always sounded a bit nasally, kind of pinched. Compared to my little Fender Frontman 25R which is very full...

Hey thanks folks! Thinking about it logically, the problem has as much to do with the power of the signal going to the speaker as anything. Connect a 12" speaker to a transistor radio and you're not going to get any louder. Thanks to y'all, I'm convinced that an attenuating speaker is the way...

Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. I'll sure look into attenuating speakers. I wonder, is the attenuation active or just some type of R/C tank? And again, if I just buy an 8 inch standard speaker with an 8 ohm impedance and put it in a small enclosure, what would be the difference? Thanks again...

Hi gang, I have an Express 5:50 that I really enjoy playing, but in our small practice room the volume needed to make the amp sound good is quite loud. I have the external speaker jack on the amp and was wondering about using a smaller speaker, like an 8 inch. So long as the speaker has the...
