Sold / Withdrawn DC-5 Head - Monsta-Tone's personal amp

[Monsta-Tone]

Years ago, I had an amp shop and specialized in fixing vintage Mesa amps and souping up DC's, Mavericks, Heartbreakers, Mark III's
Life got in the way and I was able to feed my family much better by being a contractor, so the amp shop sort of withered away

I am selling my personal DC-5B head with foot switch

Full Monsta-Tone mods:
Better cleans
Better Reverb
Series Loop
Master Volume mod (with push/pull pot to bypass the mod and go back to stock)
More Gain on channel 2
Fire Breather mod
Mercury Magnetics transformers (Power, Output, Reverb & Choke)
Head cabinet built by GTS from this forum

Other maintenance items done to this amp:
Full Re-Cap
Replace all channel switching components

I'm in the process of moving and need to thin the herd
I love this amp and it has been a faithful companion for 10 years!

$1,000 plus shipping

holy smokes I remember you putting this all together way back in the day. if I was buying any more tube amps I'd be all over this. and that sweet GTS oxblood! My Mark III's wearing the same!

seriously, someone grab this, Monsta-Tone knows his stuff and put tons of thought into this amp.

Thanks!
I'm hoping to move to a place with a better music scene and reopen my amp shop this summer.
Not much music going on in upper Idaho unfortunately......

I really love this amp, but just have way more music gear than I'm willing to move with again

Back to the top!

Good luck with the amp sale. Keep us posted if you start the shop back up. I would love to have my DC-2 serviced!

Hit me up in December. I'm hoping to be back in business by then!

I remember making that head cab.....
Where are ya headed to after upper Idaho?

 

[Monsta-Tone]

Hey!
We were going to move about 30 miles south of where we live now. Most of my work is a little bit south.
The sale of our house fell through though, so we are staying here through the winter......Nobody wants to move in December in north Idaho!!!

I realise I'm 20 years too late to the Mesa DC party, but, I just bought a DC10 and will pick it up this weekend. Is there a comprehensive resource/one-stop-shop of these mods anywhere? I googled the terms in the listing but didn't find a whole lot. One presumes they've been scattered across the internet by the winds of time but does anyone have any leads?

I'm also going out on a limb and assuming the mods for DC5 will work on a DC10?

Thanks in advance.
