Mr. Corgan has been flogging those amps HARD for years. No surprise that they took a dump. Kind of surprised that his crew hadn’t made them more road-ready. Those orange caps gotta go!
Stores are all closed but, ..... 1 slice of cold pizza, a 8 amp fuse, and few new tubes all handy and in stock and presto, two amps in and out the door in less time than it takes for some of us to write a comment or re-string a couple of guitars and get a whole new hot pizza. You have once again restored our faith in Humanity during these trying times.There's enough of a story for a legendary epic rock & roll song here. Keep up the good work.
Dude.......one of the folks running the fest (Mike) called me asking if anyone had one of these. I was able to find someone with a Mesa poweramp but it wasn't a Strategy. He was put on standby just incase these fried again. You saved the day man!!
Toured for 14 years teching for some A-listers and learned more in 23 odd minutes than in that whole time! Epic first watch and so happy I chanced upon your channel!
Wow, what a small world! I had gotten a call yesterday from a network of friends who were all looking for two of these exact models to help give this particular person some backline.
Wow, pretty impressive. This is where vast experience and vast troubleshooting chops comes into play. hat is not a simple amp to diagnose, but you did it anyway. Well done.
You're a huge inspiration to me. I hope to be a competent tech with half of your knowledge one day. There are very few guys these days that have your level of knowledge and experience
The pair of 6L6s I put in this amp were new tubes. I didn't make that clear.
“Yeah, I can look at your amp Billy. When do you need it back?”………….tonight……tonight toooooonight….tonight..tonight.

Ugh! Mesa boards are the worst, all kinds of shit stacked on each other and what-not.
Despite all my plays, I'll still need an amp on the day
The stress!
Watching this at 1.25x to increase the rush feeling
And literally 100,000 people will have no idea how close they got to seeing an acoustic set.
