What's Wrong With This Bigfoot Pedal? for Mesa Boogie @tonymckenzieofficial

Uploaded February 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This Part Two video takes a close look at the circuit board in a Mesa Boogie Big Foot pedal as used on a revision D Triple Rectifier. The fault diagnosis I carried out and I even checked the electrolytic capacitor with an ESR tester and multimeter. Ultimately I did change all of the chips on the bard - there are FOUR and I used sockets for three of them. I do show the testing of the board on the amplifier also and the results I achieved. Part One is here: youtu.be/F-aRr2e5pQY

As well as this I also identified Orange Drop capacitors and electrolytic capacitors on the revision D main amplifier board and anyone that wants the list can download it here: tonymckenzie.com/pdf/Mesa-Triple-Rec-Rev-D-Parts.pdf and do note these are on MY details and should be checked twice! I can't be sure there are no errors.

There is a complete post on boogieboard.com here: boogieforum.com/threads/rectifier-triple-rev-d-with-problem-on-relay-switching.89119 where you will see other contributors advice I was also given. Overall a very useful thing to see if you have foot pedal problems on a Mesa Boogie.

Hopefully this will help someone.

Whats Wrong With This Bigfoot Pedal? for Mesa Boogie

Floyd Rose FRX Whammy Unit? is it really any good?

$Why its time to take a look at the Axe FX III effects unit | From the Inside and Out | Tony Mckenzie In the good old days of 2011 or thereabouts I looked at the predecessor of the Axe FX III and was quite surprised at what I saw, not in a good way. But forward to 2019. Theres no waiting list to buy the version III like there was in the old days. In fact currently those halcyon days seem to be gone. Lets face it, the cost of (in Europe) of about £2400 or so is, well, at best high. But the price in the USA is not cheap either. And theres new competition at substantially lower cost, although Kemper seems to be on the wrong side of £1300 ($1600) or so also these days. So heres an introduction about an inside and out review that will be coming just as soon as I have all of the information together. The review indeed did show you more than anyone else ever has on YouTube or in any other review. Be informed BEFORE you buy one! Indeed it was interesting and covered a huge amount of things, like noisy fans, power switches glued in place, country of origin of the unit missing but made in China, the cheap $61 processor, the complexity of the unit and so much more. I was sworn at, harassed, threatened.. abused... you name it. So I deleted the review and want nothing to do with minions like that. Indeed some of them are the sort that could maybe drive someone to suicide... and as you see on YouTube, sometimes that happens through being harassed by those types of people. So, my opinion? Dont support that type of behaviour... buy a Helix. However, this review may be re-posted at any time and with no way to comment on it. So there! PLEASE SUBSCRIBE AND RING THE BELL. And if you like the video then thumbs up! Thanks - its always appreciated and I wont bombard you with reviews! (c) A B Mckenzie & tonymckenzie.com 2019 All Rights Reserved.
