I’m in the process of replacing the tolex on n my F-50, when to my surprise the ancient runes were revealed to me. Amp was made in 2008. Has anyone else found anything interesting on their cabinet?

I bought this on a whim yesterday for $80 at a thrift store. Figured it was worth the gamble because it powers on. No foot switch.

I didn’t realize until after I bought it that wherever it was kept, a rat or some type of rodent used this thing as a toilet for who knows how long. -the amp didn’t even make it to the floor yet, I saw it in the processing area and started bargaining with the store manager right away.

I’m about to start taking it a part for a deep cleaning to see if I bring it back to life! I’ll need help with suggestions on replacement parts and solutions to questions I will undoubtedly have since this is my first time servicing an amp myself.

At the very least I’m hoping the $80 investment was worth it at the end!

Just got this amp and sadly looks like I'll have to break out my little mark 5 25w again.

Was mid practice and the amp decided to start popping and I knew right away it was not coming through my cab. Dealing with sweetwater now to see how we want to handle this, I've had it a month but was out of town for the past 4 weeks so I just now got the chance to really enjoy it.

Loved the amp.... when it wasn't sparking. Any thoughts on what this could be?

Good afternoon!
Just wanted to share what I’ve come up with so far trying to get a decent tone to play Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.

I recently learned a little bit about how to tweak the EQ so I’d appreciate any feedback you may have or tips!

I sometimes still feel the highs too much but it may be the guitar itself.

The grill cloth was looking per shabby, so I replaced it with caning. I really liked the look of the blonde caning, but I thought it looked a little too bright. I stained the caning with a burgundyish color stain, then clear coated it. I really like for it looks! I know the caning isn’t perfect, it was my first time to install it and there were lessons learned.

Nice color and sounds and wood cabinet. But very poor handle.
Boogie always is a deluxe brand to me. This handle errrrrrr…….

I’m loving this thing (Mark Vii). Big step up from my previous Marshall Dsl20. If you’ve got any tips, tricks, or cool tone settings drop them please

I narrowed my options to these 3 cabs for a versatile setup with a Mark amp with the flexibility of other low watt tube amps in the future. Which would work best for a low volume at home setup?

Have wanted a Mesa since I was 15 years old. 26 years later it finally happened 😃

hello everybody I have a new reissue of a dual rectifier with series fx loop, I was wondering if this was normal

in hearing a low hum buzz noise even with 2 noise gates in my pedal board I only have 3 pedals connected to see if it’s any of my other pedals but it’s not

my settings are

in o clock

gain 1:30

treble 2

presence 1

bass 12

mid 9 o’clock

my fx loop is engaged

and im using my emg humbucker pickups

Got my first Mesa, a Badlander 50, and I’m honestly blown away by how good this thing sounds. Absolutely love it so far.

But I’ve been having a weird issue when switching from Variac to Bold. A few days ago a fuse blew for the first time, but after replacing it the next day, the amp worked completely fine again as long as I stayed in Bold mode.

Today, I dared to switch to Variac Mode again (after playing in Bold for around 2 hours) and the same thing happened when I switched back to Bold. I've waited around 10 minutes, before switching it back on - another fuse blown.
I wasn’t even able to normally switch it from OFF to Bold mode. Another two fuses blew, before I finally was able to use it in bold mode.
I’m 4 fuses deep at this point 😅

Has anyone else experienced this with a Badlander? Starting to feel like this amp just hates Variac mode for some reason.
