I wonder if the new mesa amps are better quality now that they are under the Gibson banner,probably not.
DUDE.
This video needs a trigger warning.
I’m having bad flashbacks…
Man, I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoy the videos. You have some outstanding knowledge and skills there Brad and I appreciate the amount of effort it takes to put these out. Great job mate.
Just look at that cheap construction. These boards are use'em and lose'em. It was a tough market for Smith. He was finally forced to make $300 amps and sell them for $3000.
You Brad, are a Hero, to any Customer who sees past what might seem like a stiff Repair Estimate ! 😉

The Fact that you take on, what you surely know, will be a complete Nightmare to work on . Is tantamount to your dedication of being the best Repair Tech you can be ! 👍👍
Cheers ✌️ 🤙 🇨🇦
I really enjoy how much you dislike Mesas! It adds more flavor to the mix!
The PCB for the EQ faders looks to be several generations older than the other board, and that is the stupidest mounting arrangement of slide faders I've ever seen!
Seeing the schematic and realizing that there is an export version of this amp that runs from 100 VAC, I feel sorry for Japanese guitarists!
When desoldering components from double-sided boards that haven't had thermal pads placed around the solder pads, I sometimes have to cut the component out, leaving the stub or nub of the component lead in place, stand the board on its edge, put the desoldering gun tip over the solder joint on one side of the board and apply additional heat to the other side of that same solder connection with with the regular soldering iron. The nub of cut-off component lead that was in the hole will usually get sucked into the tip of the desoldering gun, which can be kind of a pain to clear, but it'll leave a nice clean hole in the board.
"think" that's the critical word….. they don't…. Another BGG wins the internet for today (but there were so many winning comments in this Ep. that I couldn't stop myself chuckling.. Thanks for the entertainment mate. 💯 gold.
Thanks for confirming that MB Amps are just an overpriced POC with cheap and underrated parts, horrible PCB and disregarding common sense of circuit design.
I stopped accepting them for repair because the work required to make them reliable and road worthy exceeds any reasonable charges and getting fiting spare parts (especially pots and LNDs) is getting a nightmare here….
I hate those tant caps. They might be ok on a low voltage low heat amp,but in a guitar amp. They were popular in rf circuits in years gone by but not as much lately. I talked to some auseys last week on the ham band. Alll yall seem to have good humore.
great work as usual, de-messing the Mesa!
"…soften up the crunchy bits…" Ew.
Nice job so far. I'm sure most motor mechanics hate working on Lamborghinis or Ferraris too.
Love your work Brad, it's mostly over my head but you obviously know your stuff.
I had a diy pcb where the designer didn't provide any thermal relief for the ground pin pads on a SOIC16 chip, just used the solder mask over a chunky ground plane. It was the most bonkers thing ever.
one of your best vids man. cheers
some Lyle style production. nice man, good work as usual. Almost a board you'd be able to reproduce like that fender pcb you made
Yeoman work my Aussie brother. I hope this person LOVES this thing!
