    5:25 amp shutting off/electrical problem??

    I had the same thing happen on my Express 5:25. It's got to be a low-voltage protection circuit in the amp. This happened during one of the hottest days of the year when everyone had their central air conditioning running, which drops the voltage coming from the wall outlet. The clicking sound...

    Just got my first Mesa, a 5:25. What do I need to know?

    Welcome Chandler, I agree with the other comments posted on this topic. The tone is great, but the stock 10" speaker in mine sounded "farty", no bass response. When plugged into a 1x12 speaker, this fixed the problem. When plugged into a pair of Celestion Blue speakers, the tone improved...

    Welcome to the forum. I also had a 5:25 1x10 Express combo. I purchased a set of 6N14N-EB power tubes from Doug's Tubes, and I really liked the result. Got lot's of compliments on my tone. Actually, I still have the amp, but I put it into a custom cabinet and replaced the speaker with 1x12...

    Guy B, my apologies for not responding to your question. You have excellent taste in amps! The main difference is the Mark's overdrive will begin where the Express left off. It's got way more gain than the Express. I think the Mark has tighter response too. One thing though, about my...

    Thanks SamuelJ86, For materials, I used rigid urethane foam core with a layer of thin plywood all wrapped it in carbon cloth. The edges are Maple. I also have balsa wood inserts where T-nuts are mounted. I still need to weigh it after getting the whole thing assembled, but it should be around...

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome ! I apologize for flaking out on the pictures which I promised a month ago. Here's a link to my photo album showing some of the project. My goal over the past many years has been to buy the perfect portable tube amp with just enough power, awesome tone and...

I own a Nomad 45, a DC-5, Mark V:25 and my favorite: the Express 5:25. I do mechanical engineering for a living, and I love to...
