    Speakers or Mic position?!

    Dial in more mids. Place the mic on the edge of the speaker cone on the outside edge of the cab as close as possible. WAR EAGLE!!! :twisted:

    Mwahahahahahahahaha

    If I were you I would strip the paint off the grill and leave it like brushed steel, maybe with a clear coat. Or even paint it to match the wicker face plate on the head!!! That would be cool...

    SPAX 7s in all V positions...Holy S**T!!

    They definately make the amp quieter. I do like them and use them in V1 through V4 on my IV. Did the same on my Rectoverb and had similar results. However, I use a balanced GT-12AX7-R2 in the phase inverter position, which is a long plate tube. The long plate design gives less compression...

    Smelly Boogie - How Do I Get Rid Of This??

    Put the amp and a box of baking soda in a flight case for a couple of days, and that will freshen it up nicely. If you don't have a case, use some other sealed enclosure for maximum effectiveness. 8)

    SPAX7 won't fit into V1 socket

    I cut the rubber off and put it in with the can installed on top. Works fine that way too.

    A Mark IV caps question.

    BURNED by the master!!! :twisted: :lol: All jokes aside, no pun intended. Great additude to have when you seem to have done no research. This is probably the best place to get technical details aside from calling Mesa Boogie themselves. If you are not trained to work on amps, it would...

    Actual output of 100 watt head

    I believe Mesa measures wattage on a proprietary scale. I think they either rate to a specific THD % which would be real low, like less than 5%; or they rate to Peak-RMS. And it could be a combination of both. For example, the Mark IV is rated at 85 watts and the combo comes with a 90 watt...

    my baby has returned !

    Lucky no one touched the cap before it was discharged. Not sure about these caps, but some caps include the shell as part of the ground. It would shock you if you touched the shell. Also, I've seen videos where caps can explode if they are wired backwards. :shock: Great tune-up and...

    Pentode vs. Triode

    +2 I usually use simul/pentode to fine tune the eq knobs and such (mainly bass and presence), and then switch to simul/triode to smooth it all out. Works great. 8)

    Pentode vs. Triode

    Pentode has a punchier feel to it. The more you dig in, the louder it gets; so to speak. More dynamics. Triode has a smoother feel to it. Maybe more harmonic content. Smoother bass and a little compressed. At least this is my experience on a mark iv. Both modes are suitable for low and...

    Jan 5751 in V1 question

    I've been told that the 5751 is a good tube for the PI slot. Apparently it has a smoother attack than the 12AX7's. I guess this would come off as a more compressed feel. It has something to do with the transconductance being lower in the 5751, so the tube reacts slower. Haven't tried one ...

    Pickup question

    FWIW Your tone definately starts with the guitar!!! The Duncan Design pickups are all modeled from a specific SD production model. I see that you put DD H-22. Haven't heard of that one, so I'll assume it's a typo and possibly the HB-102 set. These would be modeled after the Seymour Duncan...
