I am going to have to downsize to a condo in the near future. I have a virtually new condition Mark IV B that I bought in August of 2007. It has not one mark of any type on it and everything is included including the suggested settings sheet that tucks under the handle. It was actually too much...

I have a Mark IV that I bought brand new in August of 2007. When I say it is in virtually new condition I am not exagerating. It has never left my house. I would say that I have maybe 100 hours on it at the most. For some reason, I just never fell in love with the amp as much as I did the...

I have been wanting to get the sound of the PRRI....hopefully without having to buy one. I know that the Fender is running 6V6's, and I guess from what I have read you can even use 6V6's in the Mark if you are on the tweed setting. Anyone had any luck just getting it close using all of the...

I have a 2x12 Roadster Cab I use with my Ace combo. I was thinking about getting the Rectoverb II and wondered how it would do with the cab as I wanted to go lighter. Since the combo comes with a 3/4 back, what do people use in the head/cab set-up use?

I am looking to get a little more bottom end on my Mark IVb Combo and my LoneStar Special Combo. Has anyone A-B-'d these cabinets??? I know it is not technically a Theile, but given the accolades of the compact Theile I am curious about the widebody which would set right under my Mark.

I just bought a Stiletto Ace and now am thinking I want to see my 2007 Mark IV Widebody Combo. I do not see many on ebay or the classifieds here. Is that because there is little interest, or everyone who has one is happy with it and holding on to it? Thoughts?

I have a Widebody Mark VI combo and want to add some options to the sound. I was wondering what the differences would be between the 2x12 Recto...the 2x12 Stiletto and the 2x12 Roadster. I mostly play classic rock with some modern rock thrown in, but nothing on the metal side.

Has anyone bought this to go with their Mark IV or Mark V? Any comments so far? Also...how would the EVM12L do in this box? Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has tried the new cab with a Mark IV (b) combo. I have the widebody and had been waiting for the Thiele to come out that way so it could sit under the combo. The price list describes the 'original' as a Thiele compact 1X12 closed back, front ported cabinet. The...

One of my biggest issues is trying to understand which model of Mesa overlaps into another model's sound pallette. I recently demo'd the Ace 2x12 and the Rectoverb combo. I thought both amps had some really sweet sound on channel one and for my tastes less so on channel two. Many have touted...

I was wondering how the Mark IV does when you use either a Stiletto or Rectifier cabinet. If you are using a Mark IV with one of these cabs, please let me know what you think about sound. I have a combo so I was wondering if you go straight in to the cab and disable the internal speaker or use...

I bought a Mark IV (Widebody Combo) brand new last year. I have probably used it only about 20 hours. I have not really gotten my head around all that the amp can do. As a result I am thinking about selling it and getting something with three knobs on it. Any ideas about what it might be...

I am in the process of replacing my pickups in my MIJ Strat so I am replacing everything down to pots and the input jack. I have read some things about the use of a "No Load" tone pot. This sounds like something I might want to do as it apparently had the pickup going 'direct' when the control...

I have two cabs that I wonder about use with my Mesa Amps. I have a Fender VirbroKing Extension which is 2x12 V30s @ 4 Ohms and a Vox AC30 Cab with 2x12 AlNico Blues at 16 Ohms. Can either of these be used with either a Mark IV Combo or LSS Combo?

I have the widebody combo with the stock C90. Since I am 6'5" I cannot have the amp on the ground as the dial markings are not visbile at that angle. As a result, I bought an amp stand that gets it up about 15" with a slight recline. That makes adjusting the amp far easier. On the downside, the...

I've read many posts here regarding reverb pedals and the most common seems to be the Holy Grail or now Holy Grail Plus, with a few others using the Boss RV-5 and similar price/capabilities. I have no idea if there is anything new and exciting in the marketplace. I really am not a wild user of...

I am looking at a couple of PRS...the Johnny Hiland model and the Custom 22, as well as potentially anything else currently being produced. I've never owned PRS so I am flying blind as to what they work best with for classic rock, country/country rock, and blues. Is anyone using these guitars...

Mesa is very thoughtful about providing blank templates so that we can reference our favorite settings. I have also seen some postings where someone apparently accessed a program that allows for actually dialing in the settings on a PDF file or something similar and saving that. Does anyone...

I've always been a combo owner. Lately as I am lugging 80# around I think that maybe there is some wisdom in going it in two pieces; which for my needs would be a head and a 2x12 cabinet. Is there any appreciable sound difference to have one platform over the other? I would likely be talking...

I ordered the new Tech 21 Liverpool which provides a way to get some of the Vox ASC30 sounds. Obviously there is a 'problem' when you have a modeling pedal going into an amp that has it's own signature sound. I have heard that there is a way to run the guitar into the modeling pedal and then...
