Sax - yes, I can certainly get the Mesa to "flab out" with the bass up on the burn channel, but it's nothing like what I was experiencing on the 25's burn channel. I do have the bass between 9-10 o'clock, mid @ noon, treble @ 2 o'clock and gain around 6-7 o'clock. With the neck pickup I can...

FYI folks, after a week or two of honeymoon, if you see some of my other posts, I was falling out of love with the 5:25+ combo. Had some flabbiness that I could not dial out for the life of me, significant popping when channel switching, and amp started buzzing from inside yesterday (very...

Swapped it with a 5:50+ and so far very happy with the swap. Maybe I had a "bad one" or maybe it was bad tubes, or maybe I just like the 6L6s better, but for whatever reason, there is minimal flab, the gain sounds better, so I think this one is a keeper.

Hey, quick update - popping never went away, and I had some other issues (flabby bottom end, physical buzzing sound coming from inside the amp) so I took it back and swapped it for a 5:50+ Minimal popping...not sure if my amp was a bad one or not...but happy w the swap.

OK, so I have read all I can find, and spent hours with this thing, and I still cannot for the life of me "dial the flab" out of this little combo on the Burn channel. I've got the gain @ 12:00, Treble @ 2:00, Middle @ 10:30, Bass @ 9:00, with various combinations of off, present and EQ. With...

I noticed that my popping does indeed get less noticeable when the amp is running awhile, but it never really goes away.

I should have clarified...that was MESA support that told me that. I am very disappointed. Gonna look at the next level Blackstar up from my 40, has a solo boost like the 5:25, and an added presence control that might open up the amp a bit so I won't need to clean boost it to get more high end...

Thanks, Pat - got it from a local Guitar Center less than two weeks ago, I think that may be the best route as well. I'll let you know how it goes... UPDATE: they called back and indicated that this is "normal" behavior. Guy on the phone was a CS rep, had to "relay" my concern to a tech. I...

FYI left 2 messages for Boogie support over two days, not even an acknowledgement. Maybe the Boogie's going back...PRS support always responds within max one business day. Premium price should = premium service.

Still happening...independent of wattage settings, louder when switching from Clean/Crunch to Blues/Burn...very loud even with amp volume down low. Re-seated footswitch cable on both ends...it happens without the footswitch also (with amp mini-toggle only and FS unplugged)...

New user, searched and could not find specific details, so sorry if this is a known issue of common. I get a very loud POP when switching channels on my new E+ 5:25. Running CH1 on 5W, CH2 on 15W, but it seems pretty consistently loud no matter what settings. Any ideas?

Thanks for the additional info. I am not super technical, but I think the reasons why the DC-5 didn't work for me came down to wattage and the way the gain channel worked. The Express Plus 5:25 I returned it for nails the dirty sound I want perfectly - burn mode with gain around 10:30 -...

Just brought a new 5:25 + home today (layaway) and I am absolutely in love with it. The 5W sounds are amazing, just what I was looking for, and plenty of stuff to play along with. I played the 5:50 + too, sounds great but I prefer the 84s, and as I get older, 25W is more than enough amp for me...

The (relatively) new TC Spark has bass, treble, & gain controls as well, and a 3-position mini-toggle to affect the overall EQ. I used it to great effect in front of my Blackstars, don't need it on my Express+ but you may have better luck with that, much more control. I think Fulltone makes a...

FYI A-B'd this against a new Express Plus 5:25 and 5:50 @ my local GC; took back the DC-5 it is just too much amp for what I need, sounded much better at earsplitting levels but most of my playing is low volume. I am in love with the Express Plus 5:25 on the 5-watt setting, has all of the...

Played around for another hour or so, straight into both amps, and with the TC Spark set for some gain on both. Same results, comparable - the Blackstar gets alot more of the harmonics. It sounds closer to the Boogie with the OD channel voicing switch in (low power amp damping). The Spark...

Had a DC-5 Rev A brand new many years ago, never really appreciated it when I had it, then got out of music and sold it. Now back in and happy to have a DC-5 (Rev B) back again. So here is a question that may be subjective, but I will give it a shot... The amp that I am "used to" now since I...

Just re-joined...had a DC-5 brand new around 92, got out of music and sold it around 99...and one just arrived at my door after a long time of searching for one in good shape not too far from my house. No pics yet...but a few things different than I remember. 1) Don't remember the footswitch...
