It's a '96.

Mine is R-00619X, and it's dated 11-95.

Thank you Mike!!
The guy who sold me the recto thought this was from 1998.
Do you know if there are changes between my dual and the others that came later (except for what i've previously said, I mean the cable, the cabled attached etc...).

Have you made any modification on yours?

Mid-1996 should be right.

Mine is Serial # R-006475 and Mesa said that it shipped from them back in Feb 1996

No, there were no more revisions or changes after yours was made outside of small things (power cord, faceplate, etc).

No problem. Like Silverwulf said, the only differences are small ones...the power cord became an IEC type and the speaker configuration.

I've done a couple mods to mine. I added an additional bright cap to the orange channel like the Tremoverb has, and I installed a bias pot in it.
