Yup. That's partly why suspect more then the tubes. Tech that mentioned component looseness to me is a local who work on test equipment and repairs amps for a few locally owned shops. i'm strapped for cash at present so trying to do what I can. I do keep my older tube gear going by myself but...

I keep a decent stock of new and vintage tubes. I rotated them in one at a time until all were replaced. Tested the tubes on a Sencore Mighty Mite for grid, shorts, life test etc. All passed well. Problem occurs with the stock Mesa Tubes as well as some vintage Bugle Boys. I have the amp on a...

I have a RectoVerb 25 that makes intermittent static like noise. In talking to a local tech he suggested watching the bottom of the board for "wiggle" on loose components. I have eliminated the tubes, cables, speakers etc. but welcome thoughts on problem and legitimacy of component wiggle on...

Lovin' my ED. recently upgraded an American Tele to a set of Klein Epic Broadcasters, highly recommend, and was listening to the amp. Fired off an email to Garey at MB to make sure and put a quad of vintage 5881s in. I'm a Blues and Rock guy and the tone with those 5881s is just what I needed. A...

I've always been partial to 6L6s. Amp works well on the 34's but going to leave it in the 6L6, also a little noisier on the 34's.

Reading through the ED posts and stopped to check this out. Guitar sounds GREAT ! The variety of sound clips and pix on the link are really sweet. I have an older Fat Boost ver. 1. The Fat Boost is still one of the best out there, IMHO. Hope you're still doing this. Soon as I log out I'll check...

Voted Boogie because all those references in Little Feat, Grateful Dead, those awesome early Mesas etc, plus once being in a band using Boogie ,with a logo of Little Boogie two shoes, I guess I'm brain fixated ...

To throw in my newbie 3 cents, I've only had my ED for a few days but like it at all volumes. Speaker wise I substitute an old EV SRO 12", 60's era, that I have in a modded old Silvertone cab. It only can handle the 45W mode but works well. When I use the 90W I use the c90 with the EV, amp in 4...

Sadly the bottom line is always the profit but that's business. From a musician's standpoint they should give it another shot. Like several above I waited and debated. In the end I bought, probably paid more than if I waited longer, but my gut feeling knew I'd regret it if I didn't get one, I've...

Gotta say I needed that ! Running the stock 6L6s or? Either way, lotta fun and thanks, Reilly88

Mystery solved with much ado about nada, tubes came from different batches where either the glass, on two , or the rims of the base were different enough that it caused the visual anomaly. Last quick one though, EL34's seem a lot nosier, matched sets of TADS so I know they're good, fresh from...

Tubes are about a 1/3 of an inch, to a little more, difference. Will try and post a picture tonight.

Just bought a new Electra Dyne 1x12 combo, and absolutely floored by the sound. I had a TA 30 head a few years back but this brought me back to Mesa. I tried finding an answer to the following question and gave up to post it. I popped the cage off and noticed that the two tubes on the left hang...
