Hi guys,
New on here and seemed to have picked up an issue with my 50W Mesa Single Rectifier Solo head.
It is a 110V amp (running off an oversize step down transformer rated 5 times the amps wattage.) It has performed flawlessly for years. I run it into a Blackstar cab with 2x Celestions 70 80's.
Problem I'm facing is the suddenly the gain channel no longer has that beastly growl on modern but has turned into something soft like Shania Twains tone It started a couple of days ago.
I've done several basic troubleshooting like swapped out guitar cables, amp to cab cables, footswitch cables, used the channel switch to manually change channels.
The channels are switching but the distortion is absent. At most I've got an overdrive sound on the dirty channel.
I tried swapping out the 12AX7s in sequence one by one to see if that would assist with pinpointing a blown tube but no change in sound.
Out of Ideas....Appreciate some help.
Thanks,
Lyndon
