    Mark IV - Standby & Tweed/Full power switches part nr.

    Hi to all, i have borrowed my rackmount MKIV(A) to a friend who suddenly dropped the amp while carrying it. No big harm, except one twisted rackmount side and damaged both Standby and Tweed/Full power switches. No matter what i try - i cant find their model numbers - i know: they are Carling...

    50+ Volume between channels

    well, i use EVM12L, so i have less gain than with celestions etc. Then i use Tungsol 12ax7 on 1st position, JJecc83s on 2nd, ehx12ax7 on third, jjecc81 on 4th and ehx12ax7eh on 5th. So i think that because od the Ecc81 i have less gain. For me is the way to get the tone, that i have preamp max...

    50+ Volume between channels

    Hi, just want to ask some of you owners, i play cal50+ and ive gain about 7, master 0-3, lead volume 3 and i play with EQ,so its pretty boosted. Have no problem with, but my Clean channel is louder than the Lead so when i want to make noise and roll after clean passages, i just drop volume and...

    50+ problem

    well, ive had the same problem on my cal50+. In service theyve done everything and it was for nothing. On the 3rd service control we've found, that the opto-isolator, which serves to switching channels, was damaged, so in the end, the problem was just one diod, but before it they've totaly...

    .50 Caliber + VS D.C. 5

    i dont know how you, but i use also a an ECC81 on 4th position, so i have less gain than normal and still ive very much gain, i usually plays about 7-8, but its still ok, its great playable, but also i think the sound i darker than anyone, one guy told me once, that ive really dark sound, even...

    .50 Caliber + VS D.C. 5

    Well my 6L6 version has much more gain than my ex DC5. Ive bought my 50+ just as an amp for few gigs until ill get DC5, when DC arrived, ive put 50+ for half year to basement. Ive also decided to sell it, but before the guy arrived, ive wanted to check if is everything in order. So ive turned...

    .50 caliber+ head vs dc-5 head

    well, it depends, bud i prefer cal 50+ most from all boogie heads, especially on thrash, HC etc. jcm900 will fall before any of these heads. I used to have DC, it sounded darker, perhaps more modern, but after half year of using ive connected Cal50+ and i was surprised, that was my sound :D more...

    212 halfback or thiele?

    well, i use this set too, but on the top ive EVM like on bottom, perhaps i'dtry my old Altec i use i comboamp, but i like the power, clarity and sound of EVM, so ill let it be as it is. It looks great and also sound great, ive closed the top, it was to presence, on the back i have eggplate and...

    EV's in closed cab?

    i totally love 2EVM in my 2x12Halfback with closed back, perhaps the two chamber system make sound better than one for two speakers...i use it with marshall6100, mesa caliber50+,MkIIa,mkIII,single recto and everything sounds on this cab better than on any other...

    .50 Caliber + Versus Mark Series (III&IV)

    perhaps theyve used just MKiii od iic+, but i think that caliber is more thrash sounding than any other amp. for a little different tone i use NOS Sovtek 5881, its really great, but in preamp i use 1.tungsol 12AX7 2.jj ecc83s 3ehx12ax7 4.jj ecc81 5. ehx12ax7/jjecc83s depends on what tone i...

    .50 Caliber + Versus Mark Series (III&IV)

    well, i think that depends on each caliber, i also own it and it sounds pretty different, mine is like hot-rodded JCM800 (if you put there 6550), actually friend of my own exactly same mods like zakk wylde on his heads, hes always in contact with their techs :) and in compare i think the caliber...

    What Do You Guys Think? .50 Caliber Plus

    yeah, thats why i like my 2x12, its sounds great, but also looks great :)

    .50 Caliber

    the + means that you can switch from rhytm to lead without footswitch, just by pulling up the gain potentiometer... and i think that for metallica tone you need this, markIII or mark IIc/+ but the caliber is cheapest and for me the greatest :)

    What Do You Guys Think? .50 Caliber Plus

    I think youll need more mesas, if youre as insane as me, every time i see some old mesa, i just want it :) but caliber + 2x12HB i tone monster,especially with EVM12L im still thinkink about getting one more 2x12Hb, now its pretty collectible, so i think at least ill invest my money :) open cabs...

    Black Shadow speakers vs. Celestion V30's.

    i think that you cant be alone :) ive tried it with george dennis (czech boutique amplifier), they put there (i dont know why) celestion rocket, so the sound of this amp goes totally down, after putting there V30 the amp shines, it has sound like VoxAC30. But with C90 it just sucked, with...

    Will Mesa install a graphic EQ in one of their older amps?

    im thinking about it too, i own MkIII blackdot without EQ and i miss it soooo much, also own caliber and there i can get great sound. Boss EQ's really sux, they take so much signal and they destroy the sound :( I want some 5slides EQ, 5+ are to complicated to get the sound, ive got used to...
