I posted a similar thread last week and lots of people chimed in.

Thread 'Mesa/Boogie Diesel 115 - recone or reload?'

Jan 28, 2026

I had a Mesa Diesel 115 fall into my lap today for $50.
I knew going in that the driver (OEM 400-watt EVM 15L) was probably DOA, but the enclosure itself is solid and intact.

Got it home and the driver measures open-circuit - so I either need to re-cone or replace the driver.

The TL606 is a basic ported cab, designed to survive the rigors of touring. I plugged the numbers for the 3015 into my own modeling program, and it looks OK, but the caveat is that the original EVM-15B was a low powered driver by today’s standards. The thing to look out for is whether the port is sized big enough to support more power than that.

I bought an EVM-15B in the early 80s, and it came with the TL606 plans.
