*DOPEMAN* what did the Tung Sols do for your amp? I love the clean channel on mine but the drive/crunch channel just doesn't fit what I need - little too nasty for my tastes.

the grill can be replaced - just so happens I have an extra if you're interested - logo and all it's black and in mint conidition $50+shipping I just ordered a new one (tan) from Mesa $150 + $20 shipping

the thing in the pouch is the reverb tank - you're gonna need it I have an older one and it doesn't have the pop - maybe just a tube break in thing

update-- grill came today - 3 weeks delivery looks great but didn't include the Mesa emblem like I was told it would calling to complain!

They don't sell the cloth but will sell the grill with emblem. I'm waiting on a new tan grill for my F-50 now. $149 + shipping. 6-8 week wait.

The F series reverb circuit doesn't incorporate the tubes so the 12AX7's won't have any effect - it's pure analog spring reverb. Check the wire in the back that runs between the circuit board in the top and the spring tank in the bottom of you amp to make sure it's not unplugged or broken.

I went with standard Mesa 6L6's and 12AX7's. I've tried others in my old Boogie and just keep coming back to the Mesa tubes - might be the pre set bias thing - they just seem to work best.

New tubes this weekend! It's a brand new amp! All is well.

thanks! I was really surprised after reading all the great reviews and owning an old Mark I since the early 80's as to what this thing sounds like. I'm gonna do some tube swapping this weekend to see if that clears it up.

It sounds like mud! I don't know how old the tubes are so I'm considering a full re-tube. Is the A/B circuit THAT much different than the old Class A that I'm used to? Would you go back with standard Mesa 6L6's and 12AX7's? help and thanks!!

never! I repeat never! run a guitar amp direct if you can help it the speaker tone is 1/2 or more of your sound just my opinion.......
