Feel like I should jump in here, since I was having problems recently and couldn't find a solution on these forums or any. I bought a used Amplifi 75 last summer, with the floorboard for 175$ on eBay. Seemed like an ok gamble for what I had read suffered from spotty connection issues. Worst case scenario I could sell the floorboard and use the speaker in my Trinity amp build, I figured. Anyway, the thing worked great for months, until maybe November or so. I was busy with work and just didn't have the time or motivation to play. I powered it up a few weeks ago and simply could not get it to connect to my iPhone XS. I made the phone forget the connection, re-installed the Amplifi remote app, did multiple reboots of both the amp and phone to no avail. I figured one of the multiple updates to my phone had made the app or connection protocol obsolete, since Line6 hasnt updated the app or firmware in years. So I chalked it up as a loss, again figuring to salvage the speaker and sell the rest for parts. Then I had to redo the electrical in my playing/work room, and the amp sat unplugged for a while. Out of the blue today I figured I would give the thing one more try, since I did love the sheer multitude of effects and sounds the amp provided in such a small package. To my surprise, the first attempt at connection was a success. And, it stayed connected for the better part of an hour, with both my son and I taking turns playing. I don't know if the days spent without connection to the mains allowed something to reset inside the amp, or if it had a premonition of being sold for parts, but the damn thing decided to work and work well at that. Just thought I should share this for anyone who is having connection issues: unplug the thing for a few days and threaten to take it apart, and it might just start working as it should! Side note: this will be my last Line6 product. I've been with them since the Pod 2.0, but this last experience has made it clear to me that the long-term support of their products is non-existent. For a professional who swaps gear every 3 months, that's fine, but for extended ownership, it is clear that Line6 is not the way to go.

Im way late to the party, but glad to have found this thread. Im gonna try two Mesa SPAX7A in my Mk1 212. The sound has been muddy for awhile, and distorts in a bad way at higher volumes. Replaced the power tubes last year with a pair of sovteks, rebias it myself thanks to a wealth of information on the internet. So that leaves the 12ax7s or the speakers. I just started running a pod hd into the power amp, for more flexability, and it seems to worsen the effect at even bedroom volume. Perhaps the pod outputs higher than the dsp in the amp? It could be the speakers, but the cones look nice and are still soft to the touch. So gonna try the mesa tubes and hear how she sounds, its alot cheaper than speakers.
