Re: Modification for Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber
I have used a .50 cal for gigging for the last 10 years. Mine has the 6l6 output section. How loud are you using the amp? The louder you set it, the smoother/warmer the tone gets. Mine sounds amazing on 6 and higher. The tone gets buzzier at lower settings. This is not the amp to use in your livingroom, it was designed for club use. Are you using an extension cab? Try a Mesa theile cab if you find one. What preamp/power amp tubes are you using? I'm using the GT 7025 (JJ Tesla)currently in the preamp. The Sovtek 12ax7LPS is also nice. Mark
