Call Mesa. When you buy quality gear, you deal with quality companies. I am sure that for next to nothing (if not nothing, which is usually the case) they will send you some. Roland, Yamaha, Allen & Heath, TC Electronic have all sent me screws, knobs, rack ears, etc. over the years at no...

I would love to give it a try!

I have had mine for close to 15 years now and I love it. I matched it up with a G-Major and a 20/20 through a G-Flex. Admittedly I spent a LOT of time getting the sounds that I liked out of it, but once I got that dialed in it has treated me very well. Once I got the 20/20 and I could switch...

Not speakers per se, but the cab itself. I purchased a Genz Benz 212 G-Flex and I have not used my Deep Mod at all with it. That cab works very well with the stock 20/20 because of the tuned ports. The BG uses GBE 1240-V75 speakers. Although GB generally uses Eminence speakers, I understand...

I have the deep mod on my 20/20 on push-pull pots, so I can engage it at any time to see what sound I like better. I used it here and there with my Marshall cab, but since I got my Genz Benz G-Flex, I never use it. For me the mod was never as good as the hoopla around it, but it does work...

Providing it is mounted or resting with the logo reading right-side-up, up is on for power and standby is off in the up position. In other words: up - up lets it make noise.

Yes, the Andrew mod. It did not do "all that" as I had hoped, but it keeps me from running a pedal compressor inline to my rig, which was the goal. The mod is a GREAT mod, but it is subtle. I have not played with any tube swaps since the mod, which I would like to do one day. All in all...

I have used a Pre for over a decade in my main rig. I like the amp. I have it paired with a 20/20 and run a G-Major in between. I use the G-Major to switch the clean/crunch/distortion channels and I use the G-Major to add a solo boost (by actually putting the output globally at -6db and then...

Whoa! Where do you live? I looked at their estimation chart and did not see anything like that! It is less that $5 right now for me, but I am in their 1st zone.

WAIT! That is not exactly true. For example; the center pin on the Formula Pre powers the footswitch and sends out 5 volts DC, which is pin 2 of the MIDI standard and is the ground. MIDI pin 4 is -5 volts @ 220 ohms in the MIDI standard and is wired for the EQ switch. This would put out about...

The Formula foot switch is not a MIDI switch, although the jack does resemble it. There is no MIDI in the Formula Pre at all.

There is a mode button (top left). The manual is still available online from Art and it has instructions on programming and resetting the unit (Here is the link.).

Yes and yes. You expressed that perfectly. I played with this when I first bought my GM1, however, I decided against it. The primary reason is that I have different settings for most of the songs that I play. In a 50-song gig (standard 4-hour night) I will have custom sounds for 30 of the...

I have both the I and II. Yes, there is a delay in the II. The delay is not in engaging the effects, it is when changing patches. I rarely change patches during a song, rather I build them for a song and switch the effects during the song. Therefore the delay does not bother me too much...

Exactly! The wires that you cannot see the connections to do go to the pot itself and will connect to the same corresponding terminals as the old pots. Only the top left of each switch are new wires. It is just as you described in your post. I don't think that you will have a problem with...

Cool! Take pics if you can so we can all see how it worked out. Everyone benefits from as many pics as we can provide. I have no schematic, but it really is not hard at all. Simply run a pair of wires for each channel. As you can see from a few different pics you run one end to the circuit...

I can't help you with specific Quad ears, but Mid Atlantic's Rack Accessories has a LOT of ways to skin this cat. Look around this page and the site and you are bound to find something.

Actually this is pulling out. I simply turned the fan around for my application. My Formula and 20/20 pull from the front and push to the back. All fresh air comes in through the front of the rack, all exhaust goes out through this fan in the back. It is really not much different than without...

RectoStudioGuy is right, there are no rules against adding more air movement! Raxxess makes some interesting rack accessories and other gear. Here is one option. I bought their single unit to make a nice rear panel for my Mesa rack, which I modified to handle my quick-setup plugs.

Mesa designed this unit to be in a rack. Rack specifications actually do have standard tolerances about such things as rail location, space between the sides and the rails, etc. Although a fan on the side may seem counter-intuitive, it is by design. On top of that, I have never heard of an...
