In some of the adverts for the Mark 5 they talk about it having the Mark 4's "Ever popular Extreme" setting. I just went through my Mark 4 owners manual and there is no extreme example shown in the sample settings area. Is this just a general term they use for the Mark 4 dimed? I'm curious...

Hi folks. I had to take my LSS in for warrenty today. The reveb was not working. Anyway I showed the tech the Reeder mod for channel 2 and he was not sure if this was only for LSC vrs LSS. The pot numbers on a LSS are different than quoted on the sticky. He then asked what my goal was and...

This is one, if in fact I do end up wanting one, that I will wait on. Recently they have been working bugs out of recent amps with major mods like they did on the Roadking and the Lonestar. I'm sure the Mark 5 will be no different. It's not that they make them poorly its just that amps today...

I usually don't use the amps reverb as I'm a pedal guy for reverb . I went to try the amps reverb tonight to show a friend what it sounded like and no go. I tried it with the switch in both positions, tried both channels, the loop on and bypassed, changed the tube, made sure the little plug...

What tone are you tring to get? I have more than 75 O/D pedals. I should be able to help you. I would be happy to help out. As far as OCD there are 4 different versions at this time. I have #3. OCD does cover a lot of ground. It can also be run at 18 volts which adds to the range. brianf

He was playing on a Badcat!!!!! :shock: brianf

Wonderful. ****, looks like I'll be writing another check soon!!!!! :D brianf

I was just on Mesa's web site and the Mark 4 is now listed as discontinued. How long has this been? I take it the Mark 5 is around the corner? Any info appreciated. brianf

Got it. Bad Rectifier tube. brianf

My LSS is about a year old. Tonight it will only work in the 30 watt mode. Click to 5 or 15 on either channel and it slowly fades out. Before I lug it back to my dealer any ideas? I was going to swap out some preamp tubes in the morning. Could it be that? brianf

Yes Tweed Twins. He even joked about the 4 x 12 boogie cabinets he used to have. "I just use them to set my Twins on. They are not hooked up."" brianf

One says power tubes, one says preamp Hmmmm. Guess I'll get off my lazy *** and pull them all. :D brianf

All of a sudden there is a huge amount of wind like noise in my clean channel. It only comes when set to 30 watts and is the same with or without the loop in or removed. Preamp or power amp tube? Before I start pulling tubes is there one in particular to check. Arn't I lazy? Like its so much...

Thanks!!!!!!! brianf

I have both a Mark 4 and a Roadking 1st version. I cannot tell you how they compare to your other amps as I have played neither. I can tell you that my 2 amps are different beasts. In a nutshell the mark 4 can do clean Jazz to almost metal. A pedal will help you to the real metal area. The...

Do any of yours have a bolt/screw coming out of the chassis between the last 2 EL84s? Just sort of sitting there for no reason. Mine has it and I have seen it in about a half of the others Í've looked at. Any ideas? Maybe to kill any buzzing / vibration between the cab and chassis? brianf

This is so weird. In Canada its barter away on Mesa gear like any other music product. I have always gotten large discounts on any Boogie amp. I also know some dealers in the US will discount a Mesa (or whatever) amp by writing on the sales slip that it was a floor model with a tolex rip etc...
