Why do they pay me the big bucks?
I know! I know! Because the Bible tells me so.
...No, it has nothing to do with the Bible. It has everything to do with this Mesa Boogie Dual Rec Solo Head:
This unit came in because it just did not sound right.
I found one bad preamp, two bad rectifier tubes, and noisy effects loop insert jacks. After I repaired and replaced all that, I tested it. The amp hummed in a strange way. I traced the hum back to the input on V2. I tried and tried to eliminate the hum, and could not do it. I consulted with the folks at Mesa Boogie and they suggested that maybe I was expecting too much from this amp. This was a reasonable suggestion; all high gain amps have some hum in them.
Then, I looked a little harder...and found a burned resistor in the filament voltage circuit! This circuit has two 150-ohm resistors that reference the 6V AC to ground. I replaced both these resistors and tested the amp. Now, the hum is normal again. This amp went from being a struggle to play to being a joy to play all because I had this hunch that the hum was just not right...and THAT is why I get the big bucks.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don was recommended to me by a bandmate for issues I was experiencing with my Guitar Amp. I was not disappointed at all. Not only did he resolve the issues in a short amount of time, he was also able to make some tweaks to my amp to help it perform better than it ever has.
He's a pretty nice guy too!
I highly recommend Don to anyone who is having electronic issues.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I've brought a few amps to Don over the years - most recently a Fender Deville that needed extensive rewiring (which Don took care of without emptying my wallet) and an Egnater Renegade with a low voltage section fault. I just picked the Renegade up and she's working like a charm. Had to get creative with the repair as it was a blown capacitor that would normally require disconnecting all the wiring harnesses routed through the PCB board in question. Don came up with the brilliant idea of cutting the cap off the board from the ouside, then installed the replacement cap on a small board glued inside the chassis. Saved me three plus hours in labour charges. Great guy. Thinks outside the box and gets it done!
If Don can't fix it, you're screwed!
