Mesa noob here

Anybody tried the mark v 25? Saan best iorder?

Do all mesas need step down tranformers or do the european released ones have similar voltage requirements as we do?

Like i said, im a noob hehehe. Peace out

for a few days until now I have been gassing for a mesa mark v 25.
Been searching the net and also contacted mesa boogie for me to get an option for a 220v input for this.

Of course best bet is JB music since they are the distributor here in the Philippines. Kung wala sila or mahal,
the next best is find an Asian or European online store. Pero sobrang mahal ng SRP nila. As in doble pa sa US SRP. halos pareho lang rin sa patong ang JB music.
Meron na akong contact na US online store pero hindi sila certified to sell export models for this.
Cheapest na sa US, $1299 + shipping pero 120v. Ang reply rin sakin ng mesa boogie ay hindi certified mag benta ng export models ang US distributor nila. Similar lang sa sinabi ng contact ko sa US..

I ordered an Express Plus 5:25 from the US few months ago.  Pina-convert ko lang to 220V kay Mang Raul.  I ordered the amp from Sweetwater.

Oh yeah Mang Raul! how much did it cost you? Home service?
Sobrang tempted na tuloy ako sa mark v 25. naisip ko narin kasi ipaconvert pero baka kasi mahal. and medyo OC ako na 120v parin ung nakasulat sa likod kahit na 220v naman talaga.

Question:
Do you gig with your 25 watter? Kaya naman?

Hey bro!  Hindi ko maalala kung magkano yung binayaran ko for the conversion.  Around 3.5k yata.  Yes, home service. 

I rarely do gigs.  Mga twice a year lang.  Hahahaha! 
Fist time ko magagamit sa tugtugan si Express Plus sa December 27.  Tingin ko kayang-kaya naman.  Nagamit ko na sya sa studio before, around 9 o'clock lang yung volume ko sa 25 watt mode.

[pao2pao16]

Thanks thanks. Nagaalala lang ako baka hindi kaya ang 25 watts kahit tube amp..
Nakahanap ako ng video na ang mark v 25 kaya nga sa live situation. With a 1x12

feature=share

JP playing with his wife. The amp cuts through the mix very very well

Sobrang gusto ko na kumuha.

Kasama na yung transformer sa price nya? Saka gano katagal?
Thanks

After constantly lurking the classified forums of thegearpage, sevenstring.org, the mesa boogie forums and ebay, I found a 1hr used mark v 25 for a plenty of bucks lower + of course shipping.
Cant wait to get my hands on it

[jm the mute]

hi, just a noob question:
those on-board 5 band graphic eqs on mesa boogies. are they the same as putting an eq pedal in the effects loop of any amp? thanks!

[pao2pao16]

^^
In general, yes, it is kind of like putting an EQ behind a preamp.
But Mesa boogie uses these frequencies in their EQ
80Hz, 240Hz, 750Hz, 2.2Khz and 6.6Khz

Yup.  Pero hindi ko sure yung presyo na sinabi ko ha?  Hindi ko maalala talaga kung magkano.  Si CARABAO nagpa-convert din, baka maalala nya kung magkano.  Hehehe...

I think nire-rewind ni Mang Raul yung transformer.  Kinakabahan ako dati kasi baka pag ni-rewind, may magbago sa tunog nung amp.  Sabi ni Mang Raul, "Pag ako ang nag-convert, walang mababago sa tunog."

Aba, akalain mong wala ngang nabago sa tunog!  Ang husay! 

[gainsucker]

ang cute talaga nyang Mark V 25, kaka gas 

[diancarlo]

Been playing with this for a couple of days now.
Sobrang na miss ko to. When I acquired the black one I posted above this thread, a few months later my friend from HS insisted to buy it.
Sabi ko sa kanya order nalang kami bago para sa kanya. Knowing him being impatient, ayaw niyang maghintay kahit brand new pa ung bibilhin.
Hindi na ko makahindi at kinalungkot ko na kinuha niya sakin un.

Hindi ako nag dalawang isip kumuha ulit
It's just soooo good

[pao2pao16]

BTW, Ive found out a couple of weeks ago that my Mesa DC5 is not producing any sound.
Was able to contact mang Raul just to check if he's still in the business. Was suppose to wait for the mini Mark to arrive before I acquire Mang Raul's service.
Iniisip ko asi convert to 220 ung mini Mark.  Tsaka iniisip ko kasi either ung preamp or ung speakers ang sira. Kung speakers, hindi ko magagamit ung mini Mark. Pero may lumabas na tunog using the mini Mark, so ung preamp may problem.

Just some quick questions before I hire Mang Raul,
1) May tunog parin bang lalabas kahit isang tubo lang ang problem? May naririnig kasi akong "space" or "hollow" or "reverb" type sound coming from my broken amp. Yun lang.
2) Kung tubo may problema, pano ko malalaman?
3) It is wise to have the mini Mark converted to 220v? I know mag iiba tunog. Pero naka basa ako kaya ni Mang Raul maconvert kahit hindi magbago tunog..

boss try mo muna to baka makatulong. dati sa scenario(mark IV) ko yung sa akin nagka prob sa effects loop kaya sinunod ko yung advise at sinwerte gumana nga. hth

Pao, if the Mesa DC5 powers up pero no sound, check mo yung fuse.. Normally dalawa fuse ng mga big tube amps.. Isa sa power at isa sa may output stage.. Baka yung output fuse ay busted. Happened with my tube amp before.
