Being one of those people who spends way too much time thinking about amplifiers I'm very interested in knowing how many of each DC variety Mesa made and when each model/rev was produced.
So, I'm proposing that we create a log of DC amps to reverse engineer this. If anyone who has a DC will reply with the following information we may be able to figure it out:
Model (DC-2/3/5/10)
Rev (A or B) see this post for more a/b info http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=36820
Serial #
Approximate date of manufacture or date of original purchase
Any unusual factory customizations or features beyond the standard rev?
If you don't know all the above just send me what you have.
Finally, If you don't want your info public of are sensitive about sharing your whole Serial # just send me a PM or provide all but the last two digits of the serial (for example: DC-5 234XX). I'll just keep editing this post and you can use it as a reference.
So let's get started....
Model / Rev / Serial / Date
DC-2's
DC-2 / 0009x / Unknown
DC-2 / 024xx / Unknown
DC-2 / 02694 / 1996

DC-3 / B / 03029/ June 1997 / Hardwood & Wicker
DC-3 / B / 038xx / unknown
DC-3 / B / 4138 / 2000
DC-5's

DC-5 / B / 0311XX / unknown
DC-5 / B / 0311xx / 97 or 98
DC-5 / B / 031714 / December 1998
DC-5 / B / 031922 / Unknown
DC-10
(According to Monsta-tone there were no A/B revs of the DC-10 however some have 60/100w switches while others do not)
DC-10 / DCX-009x / Unknown / no 60/100w switch
DC-10 / DCX-06xx / Unknown / with 60/100w switch
DC-10 / DCX-0880 / 1999 / with 60/100w switch
DC-10 / DCX-14xx / Unknown / with 60/100w switch
