I was just looking at replacing my MPX-1 with a axe-fx and maybe I'll hold off for a little bit yet.

I believe STR-445 are JJ 6l6's? I have STR-441 (I wonder what brand they are) greens that came stock in my JP2C.

My point being that you really, nor I have really yet to play a reissue, only clips, so how is one to tell the feel of the amp and then compare that to the JP2C. You also agreed that amps break over time, so what happens to the JP2C after it breaks in? There are so many different C+'s, which...

Agreed. I mean if a guy wants to go off compressed youtube video look at ola's compare of the amps and the JP2C does a fine job of capturing a more modern take on the IIc+ and comparing the amps and they basically all sound the same.

I just listened and thought which one is noisier and has harder sounding highs and was able to pick it out the reissue however once the tracks got going, I couldn't tell. I think in the room it would be far easier to tell then with the youtube compression going. Thanks, very cool, I'm sub to...

I wonder if a 500t or a Tremonti would be the ticket.

@glpg80 check it out, how they tried to fix the noise issue with the layout with the shield to ground over the cap by the lead drive pot.

Nice tone, Dave!

That sounds great! It would be interesting and to see what you had to do to change the circuit, not to copy it or anything just to see how you went about getting what you wanted out of the amp.

Basically, it's a Decatone with MIDI for this one in the picture. He changed the grounding schem after that video of Jason's. You would turn it into a ripper man, it wouldn't take much IMO. Just slight change in filtering on the PI to tighten up the bottom end..

Pretty nice shit.

I work for a power/electronics company and some of our manufacturing has also switched to mexico and it's worse than what we are getting from china if that tells you anything. I would never buy a new mesa with these transformers.

That is what the new made in mexico schumacher's look like and all new mesa amps come with now. They are not built as nice as the USA stuff in the past that is for sure.

Not with those shit box transformers they are using now.

It would be interesting to see if mesa just like alot of there other amps and other manufacturers have the 16 or 4 ohm lead sometimes not connected, inside the amp...

Whenever I replaced pre-amp tubes in mine I thought wow, that is terrible design, but it never failed so there ya go.

An ant farts on that board, and it flaps in the wind buddy!

The 5150's pre-amp board you are talking about?

Coli power section will kill shit within a 200 mile radius.

I've seen Suhr use 150k's and Fortin use 100-110k's in this spot quite a bit. Absolutely makes a big difference in feel.
