  • Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber Plus Schematic

    Hi all,
    Would anyone have a proper schematic for this amp? I have the amp, and would like to know how the effects loop send/receive circuitry is configured. There's a hand-drawn 2 part schematic floating around out there, which I have, but it doesn't show the full effects loop, nor the EQ footswitch wiring... which makes me wonder if the rest of this schematic is right, too...?

    Thanks much!

      Thanks, but that's not the .50 Caliber Plus (6L6) model, that's the 6BQ5 model.

      Anyone?

        I had one of these in last week and I tried to draw out a little more detail on the reverb circuit. The unit would take about one hour to act up and if you took any voltage readings on the 12at7 it would snap into working again! After about three days and replacing several parts on the board (to see if i could find the bad part this way), I found out it was the wires leading to the output side of the tank (the 200ohm windings) were cracked (flaky connection) probably due to vibration.

              Chevy: Did you ever get the schematic for the Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber Plus?

              or anyone else... do you have it?

              Thanks!

                      Here's the MB .50 Cal+ schematic redrawn by yours truly. It was copied from typical rough hand-drawn schematics that float around on the 'net. I can't guarantee it is 100% correct, but I haven't noticed gross discrepancies thus far.

                      Indicated voltages are to be taken with a pinch of salt.

                      Component numbering is the default numbering of my schematic editor (eagle), it does not correspond to the identifiers (if any) present on the amp's circuit boards.

                        Thank you very much, I hope to be okay, because I'm not a specialist.
