I also have a Mesa Mark IV, and I can't make it sound anything like my BMR either, fwiw.īTW - this is my first gear page post, so hi everyone. To me, everything about it is richer - the lows are fuller, the highs are more present, and there is a depth or 3-dimensionality to the tone that my other amps can't touch. So, any idea what the hell explains this? I never thought the TFL 5005D was a terribly desired animal. I was careful not to bias them either way before I asked, too. Tone is subjective, but even the drummer and bassist I played with both said this amp sounded the best, by far, and they didn't have to stop to think for a second before answering.

I've been through a 68 Pro Reverb that was blackfaced, a Silverface Pro Reverb with some mods (came that way), a Twin Reverb that I modded to hell (with a tech) including blackfacing, cutting the power in half to replace the SS rectifier with a tube, and even trying to mimic my BMR as the tech looked through the schematic and noticed the BMR had a higher value cap (or whatever the term is) in the low-mids. The other odd part is that it sounds epic. I've been poking around, and every other BMR I come across online, in pics galleries, etc, are 4 ohms. I ask because I'm trying to understand if I have a weird one-off type amp, which seems hugely unlikely. 2ohm 4ohm bandmsater tfl5005d unusual 12 notes and time Silver Supporting Member Messages 147 1 I have an early 70's BMR TFL5005 that says 2 ohm total output on the back, 45 watts RMS.

My amp also runs hot - the power and standby switches become uncomfortably hot to touch after the amp has been played for an hour or so (at least's when I notice it), and I run it through a 4ohm cab as that's what it came with originally.
