man this amp was driving me nuts. i had mesa boogie tubes put in right before hernia surgery (last week) so i could play w/ a nice tone while i healed, and didn't have to work - you know, instead of the ice pick tone. it didn't work as well as i had hoped - not nearly. i was about ready to trade it in when i could pick it up again. i read all this today and clipped c5 and c6 successfully and put it back together. sounded better, much better, but not what i was looking for yet. i went back in and clipped c3. now we're talking. its like a whole new amp now. i know it not. it sounds really great and the eq knobs actually do stuff. whoa! its like starting all over w/ a brand new toy.
i can't thank you guys enough. i had absolutely 0 prior exerience w/ any of this, but thanks to y'all on this forum its done.
special thanks to the original thread maker. john
