I've got my 5:25 + to a decent Mesa guitar tech and he had a good story and strong experience in finding specific set-ups for specific styles & preferences. To be true: maybe I doubted him upfront: "too good to be true'.. He queried me on my playin'style and habits. I'm using the 5:25 as a...

I think it's sad. I had the 5:25 non-plus - upgraded to the plus. It took me quite a while to get a decent sound dialed in. That's typical mesa I believe. It started to connect on me when I heard and experienced they actually are much better friends to single pup guitars, like a strat or a...

Just another thought. The Mesa has these simple latching foot switch options as well. There is a simple jack conector per options (channel, eq, reverb and contour switching). Maybe you could test if there is anything wrong with some switching cicuitry in the amp by testing seperately each...

Somebody is going to be happy. Upgraded my 5:25 tubeset and mounted two AY7 and an AT in the phase shifter tube. Has become a way better clean platform. I will NEVER reli quish mine. Only took me 160€. My tech mentioned board, internals, sockets and build quality looks remarkably the same as...

Tx Mr DrKev. This weekend I will have and take the time to have a good peek. Will get backbto you for sure. Else I will take it to a tech. I will surely let you know. Tx again!! Rob.

Auch! That looks st and scary! Did your amp ever fall out of your hands cause of this? I like to know: I also drag my amp around for gigs and I would probably break it whe it happens to me as welll.

I can t help you but maybe I can add to the question: I do not experience any loudness level difference between the 15 and 25 watt settings on my Mesa Express Plus 5:25. Not at home nor on stage. I heard someone explain "it s mainly a headroom thing" but I do not use nor experience the volume...

Hi. Im the proud owner of an Express 5:25 Plus 12". I have a question on a bass nasty crack distorted sound on the Clean channel when driven hard(er). Sometimes. I use my amp on gigs and on jamsessions. Think of a band practice session with 5 to 9 musicians. So I play my amp louder than at...

Hmmm. My collection seems too small ... ;-) Mesa Express 5:25 Black EL84 1 Ay7, 4 AX7, 2 EL84. Fender Champ XD 15 Wat 1 1 AX7, 2 6V6s. ENGL Screamer 50 Watt 1x 1 TAD 7025 / E83CC-Cz HIGHGRADE, 4 12AX7A/ECC83 TAD Premium Selected, one pair 6L6GCM VOX AC30VR 2*12 with a 1 Watt VR Tube, driving...

Is that all? :cool: 8-) 8-)

And it's claimed the Express Series Plus is also LoneStar based. I guess you simply have to listen to the amps in comparison.

What FETs needed replacement (for future reference)? By any chance got your hand on any details on the Reverb circuitry?

Hi Dom. Of course I'm willing to share. Didn't see the reply earlier. I'm living in the Netherlands, so in the EU 240Volts world - for starter. I'm using a Brennestuhl - Germany Premium PROTECT-Line TOP Quality (sorry for repeating all the nasty Marketing mumbo-jumbo) "Überspannungschutz...

Hi. I had main hiss and rattles. At home, not in the repair shop and varying during gigs. Long doubted ill tube connections. Did a complete Mesa tube swap. No effect. Did a non Mesa but matched power set swap. No effect. Decided to live with it as a "cheaper Mesa" side effect. Wrongfully...
