Help with Mesa resistor values!
« on: March 31, 2016, 07:24:40 pm »
mesa studio .22.  I need to replace two scorched resistors, R131 and R115.  I can't tell what value they are because they are black from fire, and the schem I found is blurry and confusing.  Please help.  Thanks.

Here's a readable schematic...

Look on page 2.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Ok.  Thanks.  It's a bit different, but I am assuming I need a 56k 3 watt and a 10k 1 watt?

That's not what the schematic shows for R131 and R115. You must be looking at R132 and R123???

If you think this is not the correct schematic, post the one you have.

It's the caliber series Mesa Boogie .22  Maybe that schem is the right one?  Ok.  I ordered up the correct values, but the one resistor I pulled off was 3 watt, and that schem calls for a 2 watt?  We shall see.  Thanks Sluckey!

I have the Studio 22, not the later + version.  Think they had issues with the foot switch supply, which is where those resistors are.  Have a look here:

http://www.classictubeamps.com/schematics/Mesa/Mesa%20Boogie%20.22%20caliber%20plus%20schematic.pdf

Page 3 has a mod sheet referring to those resistors.

Values changed between the original and + version.

Ah, yes.  Thanks JB!  That clears it up for me.
