  • Mesa Boogie transatlantic TA30

    Hi

    I have a TA30 ( Rev -1A) I have never seen these before

    On start up its fine but after 2-5 mins or so then this noise starts. see picture


    Customer has fitted all new JJ tubes. didn't cure the fault.

    Remove V4 ( PI) problem goes away. Can see any issues on voltage rails, Tapped about and heat and freezer spray= nothing

    Remove V3 = no noise... remove V2 with V3 in place, problem is there but quieter ... remove V1 no change

    Can't see any ripple on the voltage rails C-D-E-F

    Heater rail look good
    up loaded the pictures a little weird the way they have come out
    Picture below is at V3 pin 1 HI/2 channel on 40 watt, with gain between 0-1/4
    picture at bottom of page is on same point but gain up 3/4


    I can see the problem on the scope on pin 1 - 6 of V3 can also see it but lower on pin 6 V2

    HI 2 ( red channel)

    switched to 40 watt or 15 watt ( no issues with 30 watt)


    Master up full , tone 12 oclock , reverb off


    (switch to bypass )


    0 on gain pot = noise


    turn gain pot to 1/4 = quiet

    from 1/4 to full = noise
