Here's another full set (you mentioned you are in Europe). http://www.tubeampdoctor.com/en/shop_Tube_Sets_Mesa_Boogie_Tube_Sets/Tubeset_for_Mesa_Boogie_Express_5_25_4500 I like TAD stuff, seems to be good quality and low noise. I should have asked, what channels and tones are you using your...

Careful with a full set of Sovtek 12AX7LPS in your preamp tube slots. Those long plate tubes can be subject to rattles and microphonics (you'll here a sizzle or whining sound we this occurs at higher volumes) in a combo amp. They are good in the phase invertor slot (#4) and reverb driver slot...

I play a PRS DGT and Fender Tele into my Express 5:25 Plus. I have the burn channel set up as follows (all o'clock) settings Gain: 9:30 Treble: noonish to 1 Mids: 10 Bass: 11 Master: 9 15 watt mode Graphic EQ. I Push the 750 & 2200 sliders up a bar and a half, drop the 240 a bar (below base...

I was tube rolling through my Express 5:25 Plus the past few days trying to find a happy medium between the clean and burn channels for my PRS Zach Myers, Fender Strat and 50s Tele. I'm primarily a jazz (Scofield, Robben Ford), blues (Keb Mo, Mayer, Schofield, Kirk Fletcher) player. So I found...

nice tracks, I especially liked "Stomp" and yes, you nailed it Rodgers meets Summers.

I've had my 5:25 Plus for 14 month now and have not had the urge to swap out the V30. In my past "Fender" days with Blues Jrs. and Hot Rod Dlx I switched speakers every other month on a tone quest. I think Mesa got it right with the V30, now I may be temped to try a WGS Veteran 30 someday...

Yes, I know all about the infamous GT 12AX7 M (Mullard clone :roll: )from the early 2000s and their horrible reliability. I recently bought another one of these from Sweetwater to try in my Mesa 5:25 Express Plus combo and I love the tone I get this tube in the V2 spot (which is the typical...

Considering you've been the only person to offer some useful personal advice, I say "thanks". I've spent some time with your burn channel at 9 oclock setting and various tone stack and EQ flavorings. Close enough in my book. It gets me in that sharp upper mid presence and when I hit the wound...

Well, I posted in the Express Series forum, thus I own an Express. I was looking for some ideas IF the Eq and use of the blues channel were getting folks close. I'm not that stupid to know a $1300 amp is going to sound exactly like a DUmble. And yes I've heard Dumbles live. Actually worked a...

Has anyone been able to use the EQ and blues/burn channel to dial in a close Dumble lead tone ? Thinking something close to this...with that mid range "chirp" that's so signature to the Dumble ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te9gu-hmGzg

New Express 5:25 owner here. I've removed my Jan Ray clone from my pedal board, compressor might go next. I kept my Klon Klone as it does amazing things on the blues channel. Nice to consider I may have only 3 pedals (klone, chorus (for Scofield stuff) and delay) now since the Express has...

As we said here at the factory (and showed you with another 5:25+ right out of the box), the hum in your amp is completely normal - and is not even perceptible from 5 feet away. The level of hum your amp exhibits is minimal, and is something just about any tube amp will have. Thanks! I'm the...

Went to N Stuff Music in Pittsburgh today and returned a 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb and picked up the 5:25. Absolutely love this Mesa, it's my first. Just thought I'd stop by and say "hello" and looking forward to chatting with other Mesa fans. Oh...and I got very lucky, almost zero hum at idle...
