Mesa Boogie Factory Tour

[hirasawa]

Whatever works, works; regardless of the badge on it

right on, man
but still , a mesa 4x12 cab would be awesome ..

yesterday i found my indicator bulb was dead
i couldn't find any bulb that has the same voltage , and they dont have bayonet fitting

glad that another forum informed me to use car kit bulb..
it seems like for an interior lamp or something
and it works perfect (the original mesa is 6v, the car bulb is 12v though)

I got a Mesa LSS 4x10 combo with casters for 1000 used on sale ! I love the thing but its pretty damn loud for 30 watts I can't really play it at home so I use it as my gigging amp, I use my Traynor YGL2 at home which is also 30 watts but has a nice lower volume tone.

anyone heard about the studio series 22w ? apparently the studio 22 ancester. mine is from 1985 with white tolex. just a good tube sound and a beautifull object. can someone give me some info about it ? i think the clean sound is marvelous and the dirt ugly. probably it has been made for studios as the name says. i'm looking for information about it. not a lot around.

alright i need some help ASAP.

my single rect is acting strange right now. the volume level is keep on changing every now and then

i have replaced the power tubes just like two month ago in specialized tube amp shop, with a pair of JJ 6l6GC . but not yet with the preamp's tubes

is it because the preamp's tube? the thing is, i am gigging on sunday, so i have to make it quick while i wont spend my money for nothing

thanks a lot

How old are those preamp tubes? If you've at least 1 spare or you could get your hands on a working 12AX7, I'd say try replacing V1?

Unfortunately I don't know man. I bought the amp used on january. One thing for sure, the power tubes that I replaced were already bad said the tech

Yeah I'm on my way on local shop now. My best bet is the preamp tubes

How did it go? Got it working?

yeah i thought i had to retube all the preamps, but apparently only 2 preamp tubes had to be swapped a dead tube and a near dead tube (the V1 and the V2 refers to the user manual)

the issue has been fixed

a little late to the party, but thanks BigAl for sharing!

in the mid eighties my first real am was a Studio .22
loved that little bugger to death. but at some point
I wanted a little more punch, came across a good deal
for a Soldano SL 60, and away went the Boogie.

now, a couple amps later (including 3 1987x, a twin,
an SLO 100, an Allen Old Flame and some more),
just last week I picked up a Mark IV.

this is one amazing amp! I do understand some people have
problems with the second channel, but so far I've been able
to get some pretty good Zeppelin tones from that one.
The cleans in channel 1 are great and the lead channel is killer!
Very versatile in a very tiny box.

I still want to check out the Mark V but it's hard for me to imagine
that it could be any better. For now I'm very happy!
