condition:
excellent
QR Code Link to This Post
The amp has had all 400V capacitors upgraded to 600V, to solve the noise issues that arise in all F-30s (and most Mesas) due to the underrated caps. This amp had the noise, then I fixed it, and now it's gone. About $250 worth of amp tech bench-work.
Please see photos for the replaced caps (shown wired into the circuit board, denoted with sharpie marker dots) and the removed stock caps (shown in a ziplock bag).
Here is a great example of an upgraded F-30:
These retailed for $1200 back in the day for a reason - you get a lot of amp in a small package!
Two individually adjustable channels of Mesa roar.
I've never owned a Mark III but I have heard the F-30 is pretty close in quality. I had a lot of fun with this amp, but I'm more of a Fender cleans guy than a heavy metal type.
All original tube shields are intact. Reverb sounds great. Stocked with Mesa and Electro-Harmonix tubes for great tone.
Selling locally in-person for $600; I have this listed online for $800.
At this point I'm looking to just get $600 out of it. I am not in a Christmas-rush and not hurting for cash.
I will not sell for less than $600; do not bother asking as I will not reply.
