Andy	Re: comments MESA/BOOGIE Formula preamp Hi Ed, Thanks for the information about the Formula! I'm wondering, how did you figure out how it works? According to Mesa Engineering there are no schematics made yet. If your right about it this preamp it works very different (the cathode follower thing)than other Boogie amps (DC-2, Maverick,MarkIII etc.) Basicly i'm looking for the earlier Boogie sound (mark III) and not the Dual rectifier sound (too dark for my taste!) Also i'd like to thank you for the information regarding the caps Boogie uses for cathode bypass etc. I've found them at Mousers (Type 173D solid tantalum capacitors) Please let me know if you have more information about the Formula. Regards Andy
