  • mesa boogie 20/20 schem

    I would need a schematic for this amp. It is the newer all black model, don't now if that matters.
    The amp works ok I believe, but I would like to have a look at the bias circuit.

    Anybody please?
    Thank you

    No one please?
    With so many tube brands and characteristics, pretending that just plug and play a new set of tubes will be ok doesn't work for me. Too many amps come in with 'charred' glass or sounding horrible because of the nonadjustable preset bias.
    I have looked hard in the web for the 20/20 schem with no success.

      I know you probably want it instantly...Like me. But if the amp is out of warranty Mesa Boogie may send you one. Since the amp is still in production it's a "maybe". But they are generally very helpful if you call.

          Well since this is Friday you may reach someone at Mesa today. Otherwise it's your a$$.

          Call and see if they can Email or fax it. At the very least they can tell you the R#s to target in the bias circuit.

          Your sure to get nothing if you don't ask.

                Current draw of the whole circuit is so important in this amp with it's design and little transformers that I soon relized that it would be better to choose the tubes from the 50 box I just received and that was a good decision as at the first attempt I could nail 21mA per tube quite easily and mantain the HT in the plates at 293 volts.
                I was lucky I must admit it.
                The amp was playing clean and with great dinamics.
                Gregg, thanks again, the schematic was very helpful.

                  I have been searching for the 20/20 schematic for a while. Any chance someone could share it with me? The above link is now dead... Sorry for the bump.
