of course, the technology is more advanced, and things like switches are even getting upgraded with more functionality. I would have done the same.

you you need to check the schematic. it may or may not be plug and play. you can just try it, but its better to check first. i've read where using an improper switch could screw things up, i assume the newer the model the more likely to have an issue. some amps footswitches work by registering...

a few days ago i adapted a hosa dual for a studio 22 plus. the plus uses an led with a resistor single footswitch for the gain on setting, and a separate standard single button footswitch for the eq on/off. i found the schematic for the gain footswitch on the amp schematic and wired it in the...

anyone have this tube enclosure, or a studio 22 plus to part out let me know.

just swap out all the preamp tubes. spray the switch also.

Hunbuckers with bass and mids at 9 o'clock. Treble at 3 o'clock. Scoop eq v or turn up the flavor enhancer setting on. Burn at 12, output at 12, tweak.

More upper mid boost. Dial the mid to noon to 2 o clock.

Either order a new pair from the Mesa web site, or Get yourself these boy, I wish I could get a set myself right now. Take your pick, offer 75% of asking https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=6L6GC+used+pair&_sacat=0&_odkw=6L6GC+used&_osacat=0

Ok, three things, one I prefer the express original, it has the same eq curve in a knob, easier. It also sounds less fizzy. You can find them online for 800-1200. Two, it's eight amps in one. You can't foot switch between all eight, who cares. It's truly wired as eight separate circuits, all...

I have the 5:50 original, chose over the V2 with 5 band because the original doesn't fizz, the V2 sounds like it does to my ears anyway. I had a silver face twin ultralinear back in the day. Have a 68 pro now, working on getting the silver twin out of it. I ran t75s and in the pro put a t75...

The squeel issue to me indicates some I take it it's not a mechanical switch, it's tied to voltage and the values it's passing are off, or the reading side is getting spoofed. Lol the price of convenience says workaround all day. That's how I roll. You'll still get tone. Throw a vintage...

A while ago I got a well-used but decent condition 5/50. The reverb tank appeared swapped out dead, a new one worked fine. I've seen alot of posts regarding hiss. 99% of the time it's your preamp tubes. So here's the deal on hiss/no or low hiss on different settings. For example some people...

The squeel issue to me indicates some circuit confusion, which makes me think of midi. I used to use midi back when it was developed with keys and computers. I thought maybe a bent pin short in a connector. But then you said intermittent. So that is puzzling and makes me think of the circuit...

while we're at it, i was just suggesting to a Mark user that he tried an OCD or knockoff OCD pedal. I use it at 40% gain, tone on 1 o'clock, and output about 40%, and the express on 40% gain, on any amp setting except blues (my least fave channel i guess, i love all the others) I would suggest a...

You shouldn't risk smoking your amp on the 50 setting, and don't know if it's safe on the 5 watt setting, although technically it should be, i don't believe that 5 watt setting is accurate for this type of thing because it's class A not class A/B, and I believe it makes a difference. of course I...

An OCD or knockoff gain on 40%, tone at 1 o'clock, output at 40%. Your amps gain on 40%. it works on any channel. Don't worry about the version OCD, etc etc. but i would recommend a used one or a clone. This works on any amp, you get better harmonics, sustain, distortion, and you can still hear...

I have an express 5/50 original, a dsl20, a blackstar, and have also tried this on some other hot rodded and hand wired amps. I just dial in about 40% gain on the preamp, and use an OCD (digital clone in my case, but a real one will do approx. same) on either setting at about 40% gain, and about...

It's most certainly not having the switches in the proper positions. I've read about it causing problems, and on some amps (i don't recall if Mesa) the manufacturer has claimed you could potentially damage some part of the circuit by using the footswitch while the toggles are in the wrong...

you look at how they are lined up when you take them out. If you already took V1 out then take V2 out, slowly, and note the location of the gap between the pins. The sockets are usually installed in about the same orientation, so after putting V2 back by pre-lining it up with the orientation of...

Some amps have a reverb switch which controls the FX loop too, and if you had two identical amps, you could probably rewire the footswitch jack for those amps to accomplish what you want as well. But you'd probably have to get two of those amps, vs. sub $100... lol It's your world!
