Does anyone know someone who can modify Mesa Baron


I just bought a Mesa Baron amp which I would like to have upgraded and modified to sound as good as it possibly can in triode mode. I don't need it right away so I have left it in the box which it just came to me in last week.

The reason I am doing this is for sentimental reasons. My little brother was a musician and loved his Mesa Boogie guitar amp. He was on the verge of getting a recording contract in Nashville when he got an astrocytoma brain tumor and died later at 29.

Everytime I heard just the name Mesa Boogie it brings great memories back. I currently have 2 sets of great amps, Vacuum State Technology mono blocks and Ayon Audio mono blocks. I would really like to make this Mesa amp a killer but I am unable to do it since I am disabled myself.

Please let me know if you know of anyone that you could recommend to turn the Mesa amp into something that would sound better than the day it came from the factory.

Thanks for your help,

Farmersre. Truly sorry for your loss. Astrosytomas are mean SOB's! I will give you my 2 cents. Just listen to it for a while in triode mode. Don't just rush right out and have someone mod it. Everybody has their own idea of what it should sound like. Your ears, your audio system is truly unique to you. What sounds good in one person's system might not sound good in yours. I repair ARC in warranty, and sometimes update as well. I'm very careful about mods. After listening to your amp for a while with different material try and determine what you like and what you don't like about the amp. If they're sonic issues it may not be the amp. I also believe calling Mesa is a great idea. Talk to them about it. After all, they designed and voiced it.
