The title for this thread could possibly come off as sounding a little weird. Please hear me out: I decided to play around with the RAW mode on channel 3 of my Road King II today. It's a mode I had not yet bothered to familiarise myself with as it never really appealed to me, being seemingly...

Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't find a post using search in the short time I have before I start work. Channel 1 in my Road King 2 head has recently become.. not clean at all. Both clean and fat modes have a certain amount of gain that I am not able to...

To quote a paragraph from the Mark V owners manual: This is perhaps the best statement I have ever read in regard to amps, EQ and the weirdness of the human ear. I know it's referring to the Mark V EQ sliders and preset but I think it's relevant to everything we hear throughout the day once we...

Hello all and happy new year. This may seem like a daft question but I was wondering if somebody could shed some light on this for me: The mid control on my Mark V in channel 3 seems (to me) to do nothing, or at least so little that I'm not sure if I can even tell any difference, even when I...

Im just curious about experience from anybody on here who plays in a band with another guitarist who also owns another different Mesa amp. Especially interested about pairing a Rectifier with a Mark but all other models would make for an interesting topic. Perhaps a Lonestar along with a...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYSGa9XpkK8 It's a typical recto sound i know.. And I know there's post processing but MAN listen at 1:58!!!!! Listen to those low E's!!!!! /drooollll. Is it possible to NOT like this kind of tone? I'd quite like to know how he gets those leads sounding the way...

Practice / Bedroom volumes! Anyone else find this aswell? I cannot, for the life of me get this mode to sound right in a band without gimping the slider EQ for channel 3 (my main channel). It's all that bass. Once the volume goes up the bass becomes too much, but at lower volumes it stays thick...

Hey all, I'm looking to trade in my Roadster head for a RKII head as I quite fancy being able to switch between different tubes with the progressive linkage. So if you have a RKII and you don't use that extra versatility then send me a PM. Obviously i'll pay some extra cash on top. The...

Man! I'm in love with this mode. Is this a faithful remake of the original Mark 1? Did the original have this much bass? Im using it as my main Rhythm mode, So thick and creamy, plenty of gain on tap. I love the thick mode and I'm running the bass all the way off to compensate. Gain at about...

Hello everyone. Does anyone have any tips for some pickups that sound nice with the mark V. I'm a little un-experienced when it comes to pickups. The main guitar I am using at the moment has EMG's (81/85) and while I like the high output they seem slightly high on treble and a little harsh. I...

Hey guys. I recently bought a Road King II head.. I've only had it a couple of weeks (and I know I could do with it for a bit longer) but the company I bought it from does a 4 week, no questions exchange service. Today I gave them a call and tomorrow they will be picking up the RK and dropping...

Hello all, I'd like to know if anybody has had a similar experience to me regarding the first impressions I have had using a Mesa amp. I recently (finally) bought a brand new Road King II head and 2x12 Mesa Cab. Here in the UK, finding dealers who stock mesa products are few and far between...
