Greetings from South Africa,
I am the owner of a 5:50 Express combo which is barely 3 years old and it suddenly developed a terrible hissing noise on the crunch setting, sounds like something is frying up and you cannot play on that channel.
its not tube related, and not related to the footswitch either as it still makes the noise when the footswitch is disconnected.
I've had the amp at an amp tech (arguably one of the best in Johannesburg) and between him and the Mesa Boogie engineers they could not solve the problem,.,..the only suggestion Mesa could give was to 'ship the amp back to the factory for repair'...
All the other channels play perfectly, the amp is in mint condition and never gigged, only used in a studio.
Has anyone out there experienced a similar issue with these amps?
Very disappointing considering the age and the price of this amp.
