REJOICE!!! I found a guy locally that fixes these amps and said the entire thing would cost me about $120-$150 which includes labor.
He's a guy that the local music stores use and then put their cut on top of his work... http://ampworks.org/about.html |

I am the kind of guy that always asks for professional help when it comes down to something I have no clue about, so I would rejoice too in the situation in which I would find help that quickly. Let us know how it went

QUOTE (Spock @ Jan 5 2014, 10:59 AM) Indeed I will let you guys know how it turns out. It does not appear that any of the large tubes are blown, they all glow, but evidently there are 4 smaller tubes - and it is interesting that the problem could stem from the FX loop. Also interesting that this is not an isolated incident. Still, I love this amp and regardless of this hiccup, am very happy with it, although I did have a BLAST playing on my friends Dual Rectifier last weekend, I like the high end you get out of the Marshalls. The smaller tubes are pre-amp tubes. Sounds like the problem I had with my Mesa, blew 2 fuses then got a weird hum every once and awhile. Then one day I heard a pop. Was pretty cheap to repair, super easy as well. Just wait till you get this all fixed up, if they are older tubes. It'll feel as if you have a brand new amp! But that's a great relief to hear it's something so simple!

QUOTE (Cosmin Lupu @ Jan 6 2014, 03:29 AM) Haha Amazing - well, my friend has a Road King and he never replaced the tubes out of what I know.. but that amp rolls sweet as hell since 2009 I think and the thing is, he plays it at least 2 times a week in gigging conditions. Lucky chance?I like the craftsmanship of Mesa, that and it has the unique tone. You can get a nice clean/jazz tone, blues, and some high-gain (with a boost). Was such a great amp. Road Kings I believe have more options to play with, which would be saweet! But I did own an Egnator a little 60w head, got loud, didn't do much for my playing tho. It only did cleans to like an ac/dc tone that's it. But I had it I bet 2-3 years and I played it a lot. I never once changed the tubes in it. Now I'm far away from amps. Tho I would still like to have a Mesa Mark V combo amp. Maybe that will add warmth to my Kemper, that's the only missing feature to running digital to me. -------------------- Guitars:
