Is it taking you 6 hours to stick it in there?

It honestly took about 10-15 frustrating minutes, it’s a ridiculously tight spot and you can’t get your hand in to manipulate or push.

And yes…

Had a short but awesome time with it this afternoon, then had a family dinner (Canadian Thanksgiving here). So far getting great sounds and results, very happy. Will post a thread tomorrow with some further thoughts!

Happy (Canadian) thanksgiving! My work just hired a new project manager that’s relocating here from Canada, I guess he wasn’t just making up the whole Canadian Thanksgiving delay before coming down

Thanks guys!

This thread is peak stuff. I suspect many of us who haven’t crossed paths with a VII yet are waiting to hear your impressions comparing against the V.

Are these the right fuses? I just don’t want to try the fuses from my Electra Dyne(s) and then blow them and be totally screwed.


The big crappy thing is I recently moved and stupidly threw out the extra fuses I had… ugh. I was in clear-out mode and like, “well I haven’t needed these in seven or eight years”… argggh.

Just following up that those ^^^ were not the right fuses, too small.

Any online sources where I can get the right one? (need to replace the blown one in my Dyne, that I borrowed).

The manual says you need a 4 amp slo blow (don’t we all amiright?)

Looks like you can get it here https://store.mesaboogie.com/products/fuses-250-volt-slo-blo-1-4-x-1-1-4-6-3-mm-x-32-mm.html

Thanks. Yes, those ones I bought are 4 amp slo blow , but they're physically too small, should have checked the measurements (TWSS).

I didn't know Mesa has them right on their site, however would rather get them somewhere that's faster and cheaper, if possible.

These ones might work, although they seem to be just bit smaller, length-wise?

ie. 1.18 inch vs 1.25.

Mesa is GLACIALLY slow and expensive shipping parts. I usually just buy extras and justify it that way because I’m lazy.

Maybe compared to Amazon. I've found Mesa's online shop to be pretty quick for parts and speakers. Buying a custom shell or something will take a few months though for sure.

It took them 3 weeks to get me 8 rubber feet and a Mark III handle that were all in stock, and then a full week just to ship a rectifier handle. All in stock when ordered.

Maybe I’ve been ordering from Mesa in a parallel dimension.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Yeah when I order parts from Mesa I can usually expect to be waiting 2-3 weeks
