Hi all, I am Dave, a brand new member here, but not a new Mesa owner. I have a few questions which may have been asked before, but I wonder if someone could please answer me in laymans terms, I am not good with electronics, after lots of time spent researching things, letters numbers and abbreviations of tubes etc tend to make me glaze over!!
I own a DC-3 Combo, I bought it used 10 years or so ago, and will never sell it. It has a tan leather(ette?) covering and a brown grill cloth, has anyone else got one this colour?
It is time for a revalve,i am doing all 10, do I need to use Mesa Branded valves , (it doesn't currently) and I understand it is fixed bias, should this determine my choice of valve? I do not wish to modify my amp in any way,apart from the valves.
I have read somewhere that I should use a spax7 (?) in the V1 position, thoughts?
The speaker is unbranded, but I do believe it is factory fitted, why is this? What speaker is it?
Finally, the amp is very noisy, especially when pedal are used straight into the input, is this normal? I suppose it could be due to the old valves thouh?
Many thanks in advance for help with any of my many question.
