    So it appears that my MarkIV has 2 lead channels

    I've been playing around with my mark IV today. my Lead channel has no where near the volume of my R2 or R1 so I'm trying to figure out what's going on. it has gain etc. but if I run R2 up to 5 I have to dime the Lead master to keep up with it. BUT the other thing I realized to day is that...

    Finally back in the Mesa mark IV owners club

    I foolishly sold my mint "B" short head back in 2014 and have missed it dearly. this week I was lucky enough to grab a "Transitional" "B" head #6030 and am extremely happy to have one back in my possession. since apparently this is a somewhat "rare" version of these heads I am thinking of maybe...

    6V6's with a Mark IV whats the deal?

    I just pick up my 2nd mark IV (I foolishly sold my first one) I've generally preferred all 6L6's in the IV, but I've seen some posts in other forums of people really liking the IV with all 6V6's. What's does using that type of tube do and is it safe to do with the mark IV? I am primarily a...

    Anyone here switch from a mark IV to a Tremoverb?

    I've owned a couple of Rectos in the past and a mark III red stripe and a mark IV "A". went the Axe Fx route and am now looking to add a real tube head back into the mix. The Tremoverb is the one Recto I have not had the change to 'try" yet. I miss my old mark IV , but find that I often crave a...

    Is the Tremoverb manageable for a home use amp?

    Or is it a best like the usual rectos? I've been gas ing for one of these for years and would love to try one but the other rectos I've owned in the past need to be cranked to sound any good at all and I can't do that right now/

    2X12 Recto Wedge anyone here compare these to a normal Recto

    I saw one of these on Ebay and I thought I may like something like this to use with my Axe FX , but I have no idea if trimming down a side kills the "charm" that the recto 2 X12 cabs have that I love. anyone here have one? any ways to get one of these anywhere if I decide to pursue this line of...

    Which Power amp would be better with an Axe Fx II

    the 50/50 or a 2:90 ?? is the 2:90 any more "neutral" than the 50/50 or are these based off of power sections of "amps" ?? I'm using a Matrix GT1000FX right now and it's not bad but I'd like to a/b it against the best Mesa power amp for this scenario and see which I like better. anyone try...

    Hey guys, currently i have a 6505+ head and a mark IVA. I've been gasing to try a Tremoverb for quite a while and now I may have the opportunity to score one, but I'm wondering how much different the gain structure will sound compared to the 6505+? My Mark IV is not going anywhere I love that...

    Is the mark Iv's distortion all pre amp based?

    I'm wondering because I have a hotplate and a volume pedal, and I'm wondering if the volume pedal in the loop will work as well or better/worse than a hotplate will. I know the "mark IV' has a great master volume and sounds good at lower volumes yada yada yada, I find all tube amps sound...
