  • Опубликовано: 26 июн 2020
  • In this video, we'll dive headlong into an early 1993 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Head (R-001148). This one is so early it still has the chrome chassis with black lettering. This is the early 2-Channel version (Rev. F) with some issues which we will repair, including red plating tubes and no output.

    Brad man we appreciate you putting out content with trouble going on at home , but all of us will still be here if you take a sabbatical. I've been there man. take a vacation do whatever you got to do feel better, and then go back and get your family. That is what's important not RUclips. Get your head right... Then work on getting out of the dog house. I promise you will all be here when you get back. Much love man , and good luck.

    Had a Mesa Boogie strategy eight88 bass head. I blew through 3 of them! 3 separate amps!! I was not pushing them at all and I babied them all but they still sparked and blew. Thank god Sweetwater has 1 hell of a warranty!!! I vowed to never go back to Mesa. Ampeg all the way

    I hope you get your domestic situation sorted. We are all struggling with what has been going on. I have been tempted by Mesa products in the past, but i have always resisted. If i were a gigging musician, i would have a pair of old twin reverbs - they are reliable and easy to work on. The Mesa stuff is just too complicated for most techs to mess with and actually charge for their time. Give me tubes all the way and point to point wiring.

    I know its a late comment, but I hope everything gets better between your wife and you, I know how mental issues can affect relationships, especially now with everyone having to be at home, its going to happen. All you can do is just keep moving forward, one step at a time no matter how hard it gets.

    Brad, you know you have all the support in the world from your subs but as I told my wife 40 years ago, once we have kids our problems are secondary, our kids come first. You have 2 beautiful children and they deserve a full time mom and dad. My wife and I had some really rough times but we raised 2 kids that got the message. One has been married for 26 years and the other 23. Not being judgmental but wishing the best for you and your family.

    Dude your persistence is incredible. Its good to see you think and work through finding a shorted capacitor and discovering yet another odd way failed tubes can behave. Every one of us is cheering you on personally and professionally. Thank you for investing time to make videos!

    I have Mesa F-30 head, first thing I done, was mounting external ventilator for blowing cold air on extremely hot tubes ;) They somehow manage to get 30W from 2xEL84 :o

    Now I understand why Mesa Boogie is the bane of a technician's existence. I'll be praying for your family situation! Great video, bud!

    The mental gymnastics to take on this amp. It sounds killer even without the cab. Great vid.
