I am looking into replacing the speakers in my 412 (peavey 412MS) cab and I have been trying to lean away form Celestion. The "celestion" sound has never done much for me personally, I always found them to be a little muffled and loose sounding. Right now, I am using 5150 Sheffield 1200 series...

Hi all, I was taking a bias reading on my 97 dual rec the today and I noticed that the inside pair is waay off from the outside pair of tubes. I want to run them just above 70 percent (bout 30ma or so for 6l6). But when I take my readings I have 47 on the inside pair and 22 on outside pair...

Hey all, My 97 dual just recently started acting up, right before a **** show of course. But I'm getting a loud jet engine like hiss that is noticeable on the clean and dirty channel. I've tested all the tubes and they seem to be fine and replaced ones just to be sure to no avail. It also is...

Anyone know if there is power being supplied to run the LED in a mesa boogie footswitch, or are they all battery powered. Also if anyone has one could you post a gut shot of it (the footswitch)? Im building my own and I can't find schematics for it anywhere, though it's simple enough.

Hey guys, I have a Nomad45 im looking at for a friend. At one point he said the amp started smoking and hasn't played it since, when looking inside I didn't see any culprits on the board but I did notice that under both transformers there is to small strips of cardboard. The cardboard is between...

Hey all, I was poking around inside my DR, mainly just checking stuff over visually and realized that one of my caps looks like it has a slight leak. This isn't mine (it's from the Bias mod post) but the question I have is about that 2200 uF cap. What exactly does this do in the circuit...

How is it attached to the front of the chassis? Im thinking about pulling mine off and having it powder-coated a different color. Anyone ever taken theirs off?

hey all, I've always wanted an ENGL Savage 120 or powerball. But I don't have anywhere near me that sells them so un tested there is no way I'd drop that kind of cash. I recently made a trip to the house of ENGL outside of Chicago, a better name for that would be a closet with ONE ENGL. They...

Anyone here have any experience with ENGL Savage 120's or Powerballs? Im curious to hear what other MEsa owners thing tonially between these amps. I love my Dual Rec but I've heard nothing but good things about ENGL as well.

Anyone else put the Mercury Magnetic Transformers in their Rectos? Im thinking about ordering a set of them, but being such a pricey purchase I'd like to make sure they are worth it. My friend builds all of his amps with MMs in all of his amps but they are mainly class A single ended amps.

Hi all, Got a quick question.... When Im playing my dual rec sometimes I have an issue where all of a sudden the amp will develop a loud ground hum. Not unlike a bad cable or loose cable for that matter. I can play over top of the hum and not loose the characteristics of the amp but it's...
