Photo is generic but its the same condition and colour.
LOL, i know but my wife has the cel. with her so first off gotta find the right moment to tell her and then if i am lucky and still alive, she can take a pic.LOLin my opinion anything Mesa is great
And especially if it is good for you - then it is most definitely great!
But - you know - pictures or did NOT happen
I do believe it is Jock. Thanks.Congrats Marc!
Is that an EL84 amp?
I think there is a Eminence in it now. It sounds really nice and fullHad a .22 with the 5 band graphic, it was an excellent little amp and loud as all getout. I changed out the speaker for a Greenback, rounded off the very forward tone a lot, and gave it some grit at lower volume - I believe it was a less efficient speaker than the stock Mesa.
Extra cool bonus points for the Kiss Pez dispensers. Just don't let Gene see them, he want back-royalties.saaaaweeeet!
Nice find Marcos! I have an earlier model than yours that I acquired from Davetcan. I run it into a Mesa Boogie Closed Back 1x12 wide body cabinet.
It is currently my one and only guitar amp, but I'm not a gigging musician. I recently sold a Mesa Express 5x25 Head and previous to that, a Fender Blues Jr Tweed III in favour of the Studio. The Express was more versatile but lacked a unique character that the Studio has in spades. The Blues jr was nice, but I liked the MB Studio better and it was my dream amp back in '92 so it has a history for me.
To personalize it, I switched the cloth covering to a blue-silver which looks pretty cool under lights. It sparkles! I also replaced the V1 tube with a 5751 which has made the drive more functional. I was finding with the 12AX7 that after about 3 on the Master pot, there was little discernible difference. The 5751 provides more sweep imho. Bought the Tubes from Lauzon when I was in Ottawa. These amps run hot though. The PCBs on these amps typically show signs of overheat. So if you ever take the chassis out or have it serviced, don't be surprised. Till death due us part as far as I'm concerned. And then I'll buy another.

Everytime I see something from amagras it's super cool...even the Satch Strap! Awesome playing. New album on it's way?I used one of those to track the entire The Wit EP, I think is a must have flavour for the recording guitarist
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your compliment! That strap is so old is falling apart but it was a gift from a very good friend and it's been with me for over 10 years.Everytime I see something from amagras it's super cool...even the Satch Strap! Awesome playing. New album on it's way?
You sir, have great taste in IPA's. Ontario's best right there. If you want better, you have to go to NB, NS or PEI
Good playing buddy, impressive and great tone.I used one of those to track the entire The Wit EP, I think is a must have flavour for the recording guitarist
Thanks friend, that amp you got is a monster in all the extension of the word. Congrats!Good playing buddy, impressive and great tone.
