Gave her a run on Sunday. Works like a charm. Back to being happy again. Just gotta re-tweak my settings again. lol Had everything set up for the '09 loaner model. Ahh well.

Just posting an update. Got it back yesterday. Repair tag said that the noise was due to a yellow ground wire not being secured properly. Have not had a chance to try it out yet but it would make sense. Factory warranty; no charge of course. My dealer even credited me $50 for running back and...

Well I contacted my dealer and they're going to take care of it and give me a loaner in the meantime. I'd put more effort into this if the amp was a few months old but I just got it last week. When I get it back I'll post on here what the diagnoses was. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. Cheers

Does it in Orange and Red channels in both 50w and 100w. It's almost like something is loose or a hair away from shorting on the chassis. (my best guess anyway)

Went one further. Took the known working 3 tubes from my classic 30 and used em. So now all pre tubes and still same result. Odd thing I noticed. I tap it to get it squeeling and it keeps going sometimes. If I lightly press the chassis in front of v3, it stops. The loops has been both on and off.

Swapped out with an EH in v1 and a JJ in v2 ... same result. :s

Here it is. Hope it helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmVbrH7U3no

Well it seems those tubes should sound louder as they are in the gain stages. (I'm learning as I go) Regardless of what tube I put in what position, it still does it. I'll start by just lightly tapping the chassis and the sound gets louder and louder till it squeels. It might sound like I'm...

Ok. So I took the chassis out of the case and fired it up under load. I then removed the pre-tube covers and pretended I was a drummer. v3, v4 and v5 all seem fine. Almost no noise when I tap them. v2 is very loud particularly on the side closest to v1. Still pluggin away on it....

Thanks for the advice. I suspected it might be a pre tube but wanted to put the feelers out to see if I was on the right track. It was just odd that it sounded killer the first time I fired it up. Perhaps the first heating/cooling cycle finished it off? I'll start whackin tubes with an eraser...

After many hours of reading and listening, I decided in January to finally buy a dual rec as my local dealer had the NOS 2009 models on blowout. Got it home, still sealed in the box, plugged it in, no joy. Actually was getting a jolt when touching the patch cable. Oh well. ***** happens and...

I reluctantly admit that you're right with that opinion. Great range of sounds but the bazillion knobs on the front do indeed have a cheap feel to them. I would've expected a little more for the price I paid. :? I'm considering trading it in for a JCM 800 (100W) and an RJM RG-16. I liked the...

Though not European (Canadian) I just got mine yesterday. My first Mesa product. Had to special order it. Took 2 months. Very nice and doesn't look like your typical dual rec. :D
