Re: Modification for Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber
Thanks Mark.  
i agree, the equalizer is indeed necessary for controling  
the lead sound, mine has one too.  
I think i'll try that 12AY7 thing you mentioned (if i can  
get one overhere!)  
I've already measured all the voltages in the amp according  
to the schematic.  
I even contacted Boogie regarding some readings which i didn't trust.  
But these also turned out to be within tolerance.  
Indeed Boogie's technical service is great but only goes as far as a  
certain point,i believe my problem goes bejond that point.  
I even had this amp serviced by the local Boogie repair-centre,  
but they don't seem to care much and it sounds oke' to them.  
I know it's not!  
I also had a local amp goeroe take a look at it and he immediatly detected  
the bad sound, however he suggests to rewire the whole thing and i do not  
consider this an option as i like to keep it as original as possible.  
So the only way to solve this is to do it myself in some way.
