Hi guys, This is a Gibson SG-3 Guitar of the week model. Comes in Fireburst with 3 Gibson Blade single coils. Only 400 of these were ever made. Comes complete with battle scars from gigging - a few surface scratches, a nick on the top of the headstock and a nick in the pickguard but other...

Hi guys. After much deliberation I'm putting my beloved DC-5 up for sale. I recently retolexed it in orange. The pictures below show that it's almost exactly the same tolex as used on Orange amps. Same colour, but a slightly different basketweave texture. I've done a good job, but it's not 100%...

Hi guys I'm looking for a dual footswitch for reverb and GEQ for my DC-5. If anyone would like a bit of cash for one PM me. Cheers :)

Hi guys, We all know how much i love my DC-5 :D Recently though i can't dial in an overdrive sound i like. No matter what i do i can't seem to stop the amp becoming mushy even at low gain settings. I currently like to play with the gain around 4-6, quite a lot of low end and mids on about...

CAVEAT: IF YOU ARE SCARED OF SEEING MESA/BOOGIES IN ANY COLOUR OTHER THAN BLACK, PLEASE AVERT YOUR ATTENTION NOW AS THIS WILL LIKELY MAKE YOU CRY AND WANT TO VOMIT. Now for us non-purists, a little treat :D This took me 4 or 5 hours over the course of 2 days and cost me about £35 in total :)...

Well i did the volume mod on my DC-5 yesterday and it now officially KILLS at bedroom volume too so i'm very happy! Here are some pics i took in the process. Enjoy! :D Above is the resistor you need to clip for the mod, just behind the volume pot :)

Hi guys. I thought it would be cool to have a club here for all the DC and Caliber series owners of the forum to show our appreciation for these awesome amps - the DC Cartel! If you'd like a logo and a membership number then please feel free to PM me and I'll make one up for you just like the...

Hi guys i uploaded a short video just to show those with the older version DC-5 where the resistor that they need to snip is. For details of the mod go here - http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=229027 Basically it makes it easier to use the DC-5 at bedroom levels (between 1 and...

Hi guys, went to practice last night and turned on my DC-5. The power light flashed and then went out straight away. I tried a few more times and im not getting anything! I unplugged it and swapped out the fuse on the plug for a new one and still nothing. I'm thinking it might be the slow blow...

Hi guys. Does anybody own a DC-5 head? If so i'm looking for measurements as i'm going to build my own head cabinet. How wide, long, high and deep is the head? I'd love to build this to the same specs as Mesa have but i've yet to come across a DC-5 head. I would really appreciate any...

I love the sound i'm getting from my DC-5 at the moment. After spending ages tweaking it i've actually found that with my setup it sounds great the way Randall's boys set it up - everything on 5 with the presence/master/output/reverb set to the room. What i want to know though is which power...

What do you guys make of this pedal? I am a long time lover of Orange amps for their crunch but prefer the liquid lead and deep cleans of my DC-5. I have either this, the OLC Orange Peel or the Okka Diablo in mind for Orangey crunch. Or should i just say f*** Orange and go with the Blackstar...

I just sold my Orange Tiny Terror and have gotten rid of all my stereo stuff. Basically i got sick of lugging two amps around, running between both sides of the stage at gigs to set levels and change settings, and tripping over cables all the time! Now it's just me and my DC-5 combo which i...

AHHH! I just plugged into my DC-5, turned the power on as normal and waited for the tubes to warm up and then flicked it off standby. No sound. I heard the normal "bump" from the speaker as i took the amp out of standby but i'm getting nothing from my guitars or by tapping on the jacks of the...

Hi guys Radial Tonebone Switchbone ABY pedal in unused, unopened condition all papers included. Bought a month ago before getting rid of my 2nd amp due to money problems *sigh*. Now i don't need it so i'm looking for a quick sale. Comes with 15v US power supply (not UK but they're...

Hi all, I should probably know this but can i use a two button stereo footswitch to select between channels and the EQ on my DC-5? If so, how? If not should i just use a stereo switch for the EQ and a mono for the channel? Cheers!

Is it safe to do this? I'm just interested to see how different it would sound

with my DC-5! I traded my Roadster head in for a DC-5 combo and an Orange Tiny Terror and cab. In my opinion, for the sound I'm looking for the DC-5 absolutely nails the Roadster! I play rhythm and some lead in a kind of post-rock/indie band and love huge, thick crunchy sounds for chords - the...

Hi guys my new DC-5 combo arrived today and i immediately found a clean sound that i am really happy with! I haven't quite found my sound out of the dirty channel yet but i'm getting close. I do have a problem though. It seems that even though i have set the rotary switch on the back for the...

I'm looking for a used high end stereo delay and on a budget of £100 - £150. Apart from the EHX Stereo Memory Man and the TC Electronic Nova Delay is there anything else i should be looking at? Not a fan of Boss pedals by the way. Any help would be much appreciated :D
