    Mesa parallel to series effects loop mod?

    Could I do this mod on my DC-5? (Sorry but the amp is in another town so I can't see its guts till next week) I've got a G-Major since last week (I just could use it a few hours so I couldn't figure out that "bloody" 90% wet...:S perhaps I'm deaf cos though I notice how the amp sounded while...

    Modifying an Parallel FX Loop?

    Sorry... I've just found a thread where it explains some of my questions... :S PS: I Swear I had used the Search option before... :( My DC-5, as many of the Mesas (as I've read round here) has a parallel FX loop...which isn't the best option when using processors (G-Major in my case... though...

    Smothing DC-5 and an output master problem

    Well, this afternoon I will make the mod in the "rehersal doom". I was doubting whether I had to leave both sides linked without resistor or not, as... I guess there would be some kind of use or need for this link and resistor. May anybody guess why this resistor is set there? Because.. it...

    Smothing DC-5 and an output master problem

    Perhaps something really stupid, but: The snip operation should be done on one side of the resistor? Remove it? Leave a wire linking both sides? Thanks all :).

    Smothing DC-5 and an output master problem

    Thanks all... Well I was expecting perhaps a smoother tone on the lead channel. Sound really great but would have liked to jump from pristine rhythm to warm overdrive without using a stomp box or rolling off the guitar knob. So, finally the master volume is that way? What I'm saying is that it...

    Smothing DC-5 and an output master problem

    Well first of all, the latter. After buying my DC-5 second-hand I've discovered that the ouput master volume works in the range of "0.5 until 3" more less. The more volume I give... the same pressure I get. Maybe the power tubes? In that case why do they work and get "limited"? On the other...

    New tubes for DC-5

    Apart from not using EL34s... as this amp is equipped with 6L6, and the suggestion of this other guy og using GTs what more tubes would you recommend on a DC-5? I'm reading lots of posts about people putting what-you-want valves and I'm quite afraid of that Bias thing...:S don't know if...

    DC-5 Footswitches

    Hi, I've just bought a DC-5 from ebay but it came with no footswitches. Trying to contact Sadepra (Spanish dealer) had no answer via email, so I've thought in doing it on my own. Could someone please tell me the diagrams of them? It's "mid" era I think (as I've read the circuitry is different...

    New tubes for DC-5

    I have recently bought a DC-5 from ebay and I'd like to change the power tubes. I've read that Mesas don't need biasing as it is fixed so I should buy a pair of them which are in the range of it, though I've seen here that Mesa's valves are reliable and last long though there are better ones...
