I scored a Lucid ADAT converter awhile back. I know Lucid quit the commercial audio years ago which is why this was likely so cheap, but Google searches typically compared them to RME and similar. I was planning on eventually incorporating 500-series into my rig based around a Focusrite 56...

I'm toying with trying something different. I've got a MKIIC+ Coll. Low hours on Mesa tubes throughout, I had it checked by local tech and had the pots cleaned. All caps etc were good. You know what these go for, I know what they go for. Might take a JCM, Blackstar, etc as part trade with cash...

I was BSing with my fiend's dad while doing some work on her lawnmower. Her dad used to play for a few bands back in the day (Dolly Parton, Dr, Hook, etc) and of course, I had to curve the conversation at some point to music. He showed me his Mk IIc+ short head (originally a MkIIb, but he sent...

Both supposedly designed by Jorge Tripp. Which seems better. My brother loves his Carbon Copy, I haven't talked to anyone with an Aqua Puss, but they seem to sell well.

Whenever I listen to flanger sound-bytes, it's playing Van Halen or Heart style stuff. I want more of Clutch's-"House that peterbilt" flanging. Heavy phsycdelic distortion flanging. The EH-flangers seem to go after a totally different sound. One band that was openning for COC a few months back...

Since I switched out my tubes, the amp sounds great. But now the limit knob on the back only works in the zero-position. It was working the opposite before, no sound on zero, but sound in all other positions. I don't think it blew a transformer or anything because it still gets pretty loud (not...

I just got done replacing all the 6L6 tubes and 12ax7s with new Mesa tubes. I just got a little confused when I took it apart. Instead of 5 12ax7s, I found 3 12ax7s, a 12AT7 (it got a 12AX7) and one 6FQ7 (huh?). I can't find a Mesa-version of the last one, so I'll let it ride a while longer. It...

Some dude says he has a stash of vintage 6L6 RCA and Amperex tubes. I was gonna go check on them, but didn't know what to look for. Any particular models to look for. He says he's got tube testing equipment to check them with.

I'm still a newbie to Mesas and have been trying to learn all I can about my "new" amp. Assuming my amp came with 415s, what would be a good readily available substitute 6L6 that wouldn't loose the Mesa gainy tone? I keep hearing JJ's are what locals love, but most don't play Mesas or like...

I posted in another section about scoring a sweet Mesa MkIIC+ Colliseum with fan but no reverb or EQ. One part I left out was that I was broke and had to put it on layaway. I just brought it home today with a slant 412 Mesa the pawn shop also had and shot me a sweet price on due to the cabinet...

Hello all. Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Ben and as described I picked-up a Mesa MkTTc+ at a pawn shop and have been trying to find any and all info online. The good thing about Mesa's is most people don't know much about them, even the good ones like I have. The amp head I picked up...
