    Went to NAMM today and bought JJ Tesla tubes for MK IV but..

    I've swapped out the tubes in the V3 and V4 pos with the old tubes and everything seems to be ok. Is there a rule about not using JJ Tesla 12AX7ACZ (High Gain) preamp tubes in these positions?

    Went to NAMM today and bought JJ Tesla tubes for MK IV but..

    I went to NAMM today and bought 12ax7 JJ Tesla tubes for my 1996 Mark IV. I bought 3 12ax7cz Select tubes and 3 12ax7acz High Gain for the preamp and 2 JJ EL34s. I got home and put the 2 high gain tubes in the V4 and V3 spot and the Select in the others and when I turned it on, I heard nothing...

    Mesa Recto Cab with EVM12L Speaker + extra EVM12L Speaker!

    Last year I bought a 1X12 Mesa Recto Cabinet with a EVM12L Speaker in it for some rehearsals and only wound up using it twice. Its in fantastic shape (I can email pics upon request) and I'm asking a fair price of $225. I'm in Los Angeles, so pickup is preferred but I'm willing to ship if buyer...

    Mark IV Speaker replacement suggestion to make it less heavy

    I have a 1996 Mesa Boogie MKIV. Its in pristine shape but the speaker (the EV12L) is sooo heavy that it is hurting my wrist and back. I looked at the new Celestion Century series speakers with the neodynium magnet. It weighs 3 lbs vs 20 something of the 12L. I know the EVM has a 200 watt power...

    Mesa Mark IV with 6L6GC tubes? Why are they light-bulb like?

    I left the 2 6l6's in the middle and put in 2 EL34s in the end sockets-- It sounds great! But... The two tubes in the middle are a bit weak-- I mean, i can tap the tubes and hear the impact coming through the speaker-- not a great thing Im sure. I don't want to lose the sound as I know those...

    Mesa Mark IV with 6L6GC tubes? Why are they light-bulb like?

    I went to look at an amp tonight that had the original (1997) Mesa Boogie 6L6 GC powertubes in them. I noticed that they are kinda 'bulb-like' and not a straight cylinder like most tubes. One of the tubes was microphonic and I know I can't just replace one tube.. at least two so do I: A)...

    Own a Handwired Rivera Knucklehead. Time for Mark IV?

    I bought a Rivera Knucklehead 100 watter plus a 4 X 12 cabinet from a guy about 10 months ago out here in Los Angeles who said the following: It was a handbuilt amp by Paul Rivera Sr. (the guy who started the company, who used to design amps for Fender, etc). It has a factory mod for more gain...

    Preamp tubes to choose from-- 12__7 in my 'new' amp...

    yeah. I can see the metal base and I can see where it would clip in. I'm thinking about taking a trip to home depot with the amp to see if I can figure something out. Those guys are pretty clever but I'd rather hear someone who's done it and it works. I was thinking of getting a metal guard and...

    Preamp tubes to choose from-- 12__7 in my 'new' amp...

    Got my Boogie back from the hollywood shop yesterday. They said two things about my "studio series" amp. (I guess it was just before they started calling them .22's) 1. The tubes guard that holds up the tubes (both power and preamp) are missing. 2. Some people put different kinds of tubes in...

    Class A question for studio .22.... self biasing?

    Right now my .22 studio is at the hollywood boogie shop getting looked at. I really like the amp but I've noticed a few weird things (when i go from the dirty channel to the clean channel there is like a continuance of distortion for about a half second before it gets clean). I don't really mind...

    Class A question for studio .22.... self biasing?

    Does a class A amplifier's preamp section (5 12ax7) need to be biased? Some of the tubes on my amp aren't good so I replaced 2 of them V1 and V2. Does anyone see a concern by doing this? Also, does anyone have suggestions for a replacement speaker for the amp? When I got it, it had a generic...

    Master Lead mod for Studio .22 ???

    I bought a studio series .22 from a guy tonight for a pretty fair price. I have 2 quick questions for all of the gurus here: 1. Is there a mod schematic/instructions for how to add a master lead to the amp? The current design only gives one master volume and the clean channel is much louder...
