Has anyone tried this preamp tube replacement recommended by Doug's Tubes (see below)? Apparently this is supposed to reduce the infamous noise issues with the 5:25. I have a set of NOS Mullard EL84s on the way for the power tube section. V1 - Tung-Sol reissue 12AX7 V2 - High gain JJ...

Generally, I like the basic sound of my 5:25 (without any pedals). I use to run a Boss NS2 with it but lost that in the wake of Hurricane Ike. I recently got a deluxe memory man and a Boss tuner pedal, and holy grail reverb (EH) and a Boss LC2 looper. Yesterday I tried running this chain both...

I'm looking for speakers and a speaker cabinent (either 1x12 or 2x12). I have considered avatar open back and thinking of some vintage type speakers to compliment a blues overdrive tone. Does anyone have any recommendations. I also believe ted weber builds custom cabs. Or should I just go...

I was just wondering how many people have a mesa express amp (either 5:25 or 5:50). I got a 5:25 (1x10) a few months ago and really am happy with it. I hooked it up to a mesa 1x12 3/4 back extension cab and it sounds even more incredible. My favorite channel is the crunch channel. Has...

Hello, I'm new here and new to mesa. I bought the new 5:25 express a couple months ago and it has since become my all time favorite amp. I have the 1x10 version combo. I hooked up a 16ohm 1x12 epi valve jr ext cab to expand the sound a bit. However, since that speaker is at 16ohm I'm...
