Thank you, sir. I appreciate the advice.

My bad...after a little research, the tweaker cab is 16 ohm. I'm a bit wet when it comes to the whole ohm thing. With the Mini being 8/4 ohm out, this won't work?

Hello from Florida, I've gathered enough funds to snag the Mini Rectifier (very excited) but am still researching a cab for it. I see the rectifier cabs and I bet they are nice but there is a person locally who has an Egnater Tweaker 15 and Egnater 1x12 with the G12H-30 speaker. The CL ad is...

Great news! Sold mine yesterday. I'm confident mine was more than a tube issue. Nonetheless, I'll keep my eyes peeled for a suitable replacement.

Well, got the amp back yesterday. I'm confident the tech is competent. I can't get technical but he gave it a very through going over which included beefing up some components but was unable to cure the noise issue. In his own words, he was "dismayed" he couldn't get it done. He's been an...

A-50cal+... Thanks for the heads up. Mine is with a tech as I write. I REALLY hope he can fix this issue. I also asked him to provide me with the details of the "hopeful" fix so I can post it here. I was told I'll have it back next Friday. Until then...

Excellent! I look forward to the review.

Hey there, Graon! Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. Mine is stock as well except for some new tubes. Due to other financial priorities, I had to cancel an appt with a local amp tech who indicated he had a good idea what was going on. I wish I had a definitive answer but...

Amen, amen...I hope your weekend is a good one.

I'm getting the amp to guy in Orlando who is confident he knows what is going on. The way I got this amp is the most embarrassing and immature musical equipment trade I ever made. So bad that it will go to the grave with me. Live and learn...

I was just looking at an image of the F30 chassis on Mesa's site and noticed that the 3 blue battery looking things (sorry for my simpleton descriptions) are all in a neat row whereas mine are stacked, one on top of two. I was curious how the glue goop was pretty sloppy in mine. In some cases...

Thanks for calling me out on this adventure. I haven't given up on it yet. In comparison to you guys, my experience with tube amps is negligible. I will say, however, that even with the the gain at 9-10 and the master at 11 on the clean, the hiss is really there. Even with my inexperience...

Unfortunately, even used, the ED is out of my price range. I've called Mesa a couple of times re: this noise issue and not that they weren't polite but they gave me the "it's just the way the amp is designed" thing. Awhile back I took it to a local amp guy and he called Mesa and he told me...

Your help has been greatly appreciated and sorry if I sounded juvenile but the whole "hiss" thing has been frustrating. I worked with a number of electrical engineers during my time on the Space Shuttle program here on the Space Coast of Fl. (I'm no engineer by any stretch). Anyway, I have no...

I did inspect the guts without touching anything. Besides some strange, randomly placed glue goop, everything looks ok. I'm not quite ready to go see Jesus resulting from messing with a silly amp so it's going back together tomorrow. How in the world do amp techs feel comfortable working on...

....or put it back in and forget the whole thing?

Thanks for the warning! When can I expect it to be safe? I have removed the chassis but was very careful not to touch anything.

Yet again, HOPE! Thanks very much. I'll pull the board and let it sit so as not to zap myself. I'll let you know. I REALLY want to keep this amp. Curious, where is the stored energy that could harm you?

Thanks for the advice, fellas. It is appreciated. As far as I can tell, short of removing the guts (which I'm not qualified to do), I've done the guitar/cord/FX chain/swap tubes a number of times/ trouble shooting. It's got to be a circuit issue because it's really hissy with nothing plugged...

First, this is my maiden voyage into any forum of any kind; my apologies up front if I break any rules. I REALLY enjoy my F30 combo (stock except for new JJ tubes). The issue, however, is the white/hiss noise at higher gain/master volume levels. I'm predominantly a stay at home player and...
