This is a non-badge model of the F-30. First photo in the listing is a stock image, please see other photos for actual condition.
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.
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).
Are you an F-30 enthusiast looking for a copy of the amp that isn't plagued by noise?
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!
The other F-series Mesas on the market are priced a bit lower, but they are ticking time bombs waiting to be plagued by hum-noise which makes them un-usable.
This one sounds glorious; I am only selling because I have too many amps and I'm not a high-gain guy.
All original tube shields are intact. Reverb sounds great. Stocked with Mesa and Electro-Harmonix tubes for great tone.
Cosmetic condition is very strong, with some minor damage to the leather corner on the bottom of the amp (photo).
But with confidence!
Please note, this is a heavy amp and it may take me as many as 3 days until I can ship it.
To find a package of the right size and the best shipping service.
I strive for an excellent customer experience - buy with confidence!
