Mesa Fillmore 25: So I finally swapped the original C90 for the Celestion Neo Creamback today. I removed the amp chassis and it was way easier for this amp. Sounds great clean, sound great with overdrive. So far love it, maybe even more than the original C90. Very smooth overdrive still, and...

Thanks. Good news, I got it. Bad news, ripped the cone in my new Neo Creamback I wanted to try. It got complicated because to get the speaker out you had to remove the reverb tank because it's so tight. But you cannot directly remove the reverb tank with the speaker there unless you push the...

I see 4 screws inside the cabinet, but I thought the front grill pops off. Any help before a force something I shouldn't? Thanks!

Before our New Years gig this year, I cut open the tip of my 3rd finger parallel with my finger, pretty bad for playing. I Crazy glued it closed, and it would seal quickly, but it would open again when I tried to play. The cut was in the exact worst spot and angle. 3 piece band so I was...

If I were you, I'd play with just the Special 1x12 1st. Then try it with different cabinets. Depends on your needs, but I think that until you play with it as is a bit, you won't know what you want to add. Again, I feel this 1x12 Special sounds great by itself, better than most all other...

I bought a new Lone Star Special at GC 2 months ago, they threw in a Cry Baby 535Q.

Congrats! I bought the 1x12 Lonestar Special about 2 months ago. Killer amp, replaces my Mark III I bought new in '89. I have gigged and practiced with the Special through my 4x12 1960AHW reissue cabinet, sounds killer. Saturday I have a gig, supposedly big PA setup, and I'm just bringing...

Yes, I see them. But none llok like the #'s mentioned here. BTW - This amp rocked at the gig today. Never blown a tube nore fuse since new in 1989!

How can you tell what transformer it is? I have a Mark III Green Simulclass (Eq, verb, wood, cane) I ordered custom and directly from Mesa in 1989, and it doesn't say any of these #'s on the power transformer. Tomorrow I've got a gig and will use it through my 1960AHW slant 4x12 with the...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the GT-6 can move effects before qand after the internal loop. Whether or not it makes sense, it seems to me I get a cleaner signal with no GT-6 alterations BEFORE I go into my Mark III preamp. That's why I stopped with the 4 cable method and went using the GT-6 as...

Interesting thread. I have the GT-6 with my Mark III Simulclass and recently decided to work on my sound from scratch. I used to use the 4 cable method, but it seems my overal tone is more lively using the GT6 as an effects insert from my amp. So here's how I'm set up: Guitar - Mark III -...

I've got a Mark III green stripe (EQ, Simulclass, verb) that I ordered new in '89, and I believe it wouldn't make sense to do a C+ "upgrade", because I think it would be a "change" in this case, not necessarily something better. As the different versions got voiced, I understood the Green...

Where are those from?

Yeah, I've gone through a lot of threads here and there. Just wondering if anyone had a recommendation for my particular setup and needs. Budget? Not a concern for tubes.

I guess I meant a little more alive, a little more aggressive. I'm pretty happy with the way I have the amp set, but I wanted to see what some better tubes could do for me. I use a GT-6 (4 cable method) and only use Boogie distortion. The GT-6 is used as echo, chorus, and master volume...

Hey guys, what a great resource here. I've got a Mark III Simulclass Green Stripe hardwood, EQ, Verb, I had Mesa make me back in 1989. Last year I replaced all the pre and power tubes with tubes I ordered from Mesa. I play rock / pop rock from the 70's to the present (mix of distorition and...
