Good evening fellow mesa boogers.
I was playing my Mesa boogie Mark III Simul Class 100W blue stripe today when I realized it wasn't playing at full volume.
(God I love this amplifier)
As I turn up the Bass knob from 0-10 it starts to get loud, but then completely goes silent when I reach 10. '
This same thing also happens on the far left Volume knob, but is more apparent in the bass nob.
The amplifier is loudest ONLY when the Bass knob is at around 5. At that point the amp is incredibly loud. Once you spin the bass knob to 9 the amplifier goes almost completely silent.
All of the tubes are lit, and none make noise when I tap on them.
The volume nob and the Bass nob are the only 2 nobs that crackle when I tap on them from the front. They make a lot of crackling noises ESPECIALLY when I spin the Bass nob in and out of the VOLUME SWELL zone.
Any advice you can give me to save myself a 500 dollar diagnostic and repair would be greatly appreciated.
Help me get rockin at full volume again! Whats wrong with my Potentiometers?
Thank you !!
