How's the turn around time been for sending Mark series amps back in to Mesa lately?

[kmanick]

I'm going to send my mark IV out tomorrow(from Boston)
my lead channel only has about 1/3 of the volume of my R1/R2 channels, my midgain/harmonics switch isn't doing anything
and when I go from clean to lead channel the pop is so loud that it's basically not usable for gigging.
the caps were done on mine but they were piggy backed on to the other big blue caps so they will also re do those the right way.
I joined a Whitesnake tribute project recently and this amp is killing it for that "1987" and slip of the tongue tone.
I can use my Splawn rig while this is out but I do have gigs lined up for January that I would prefer to use this with.
Anyone have there's one recently? how was the turnaround?
thanks
Nick

You have to contact them first- which I just did- they told me to check back in a month because they’re backed up right now. Good luck

Might check Aztech Electronics in Watertown first, they’re an authorized Mesa shop. They may well be backed up too, I haven’t been there since the lockdown.

I use Aztech all the time he's great over there but he doesn't want to touch the caps ,s o I figured just send it back to Mesa for a total overhaul.

it took over a week to get mine and initially they didn't even want to take it, really backed up I guess

Yea they told me to call back in a month and they will see if they can take it- I brought my mkIV to Andy Fuchs- but the markIIB needs the effects loop mod which Andy didn’t seem familiar with so I’m waiting for Mike
