Just got the Mesa back from Jerry last Friday. Its so damn killer. Only played it for a few hours but its just a MONSTER!
Yeah.....Jerry is THE MAN!!
Will give a good write up when I play it some more. Its by far the most powerful sounding amp I have heard or played ever.
When Jerry gets your amp....you know its going to slay when you get it back.

i JUST joined the club this past week. Bone stock, clean as hell 5150 cursive. signature on the board as far as i can tell is from 1995. hard to read.
LOVE this fucking amp....i have her opened up and cleaned all the pots and jacks...they were a bit scratchy.
am i retarded for saying that I LOVE the way that this amp sounds....

im also debating performing some mods...particularly the c15 mod as i'd like the bass to be a bit tighter on channel one and the r9 and silver mica on pins 6/7 of the middle tube (mainly cause they're all reversible)
anyone have these, and can lobby for or against.

Dude, all you need is a good boost My 5150 with/without boost is like night and day. I run a "bypass", "LED", and "808" modded SD-1 through it and it really puts bread on the table.
But like you said, the mods to the 5150 are reverse-able, and extremely cheap when you buy through www.mouser.com and www.smallbearelec.com/

you know, the more i play it, the more im thinking i may just keep it stock, boost it like you mentioned and maybe try an eq in the loop.
quick, easy, and a bit more flexibility tonewise.
for whatever reason, there just really isn't anything about the amp that i don't like that i don't think can't be remedied without a solder iron. i been researching and googling and all that shit about mods and 5150's etc for like a week now, and something keeps tickling at me to just keep it stock. i looked at c15, and i don't want to have to pull the whole board up to get to it...the c15 on my board is tight against it, and i don't want to clip it. the other mods i mentioned, well, it seems in the clips that i've checked out that it makes the amp darker, and a bit muddier.
for now, i'm keeping it stock..since i have it open, and it looks easy enough, i'm going to swap out some of the indicator LED's for stock/not stock looking mojo....tee hee.
