My Mark IVb combo has started giving me problems. It has an intermittent issue where there is a noticably annoying static/ crackle sound on notes played on the low E string ranging from an open E to a g#. It is most noticable on the clean channel. I tried swapping out v1,v3, and v5 with a tube...

Hey folks, I just added a stiletto 2x12 to the stable and I m loving it but I have one question. I can't seem to find out which of the speaker jacks the speaker load should be plugged into. 8 ohm or 4 ohm? I couldn't find the answer in the manual. Thanks!

Looking for stiletto.

I bought a minty Classic 30 combo off a coworker today for $200 bucks. Score! I love it.

Can anyone who has tried this give me some impressions before I give it a go myself. I'm curious about trying it; My first amp ever was 1969 Fender Deluxe reverb that I bought in the classifieds for $200 in 1990. I loved it. I foolishly traded it away as a teenager because it didn't have...

So this is my all purpose high gain crunch rhythm/lead tone: Amp is running a pair of 6l6s and a pair of el34s in full power set to simulclass, triode, mid-gain. Gain is between 7 and 8; pulled fat, treble 7, bass 2, mid 8, lead drive 6.5, presence 2; pushed in. I love this setting- it's my...

I just pulled the trigger on one of these and am expecting it to arrive within the next week. I've been gassing hard for a suhr guthrie for a long time because of it's exreme versatility and playability but alas, I'm not rich and have two little boys to think of so the $3600 price tag was just...

I used this feature for the first time last night at my buddy's home studio to lay some tracks. He has twin 2 yr old girls that were sleeping so it was not possible to mic it up-and I was itching to try the silent recording feature out anyway as I am am relatively new to the Mark IV and had not...

The tones are so great I wanna play it all the time even though I don't find it to be a very forgiving amp. You only get out what you put in; it faithfully reproduces every nuance of your technique- the good and the bad and for that I love it. It forces me to play better.

Featuring the death defying feats of Guthrie Govan- Guitar, Bryan Beller- Bass, and Marco Minneman-Drums. If you like music buy it. If you love guitar buy it now.

I was hoping some of you Mark IV guys can give me some direction in putting together a great sounding set of preamp tubes on a budget. My Mark came with all jjs in the preamp section. I thinking of trying the tungsol reissue in v1 for starters.

I just got this Mark IVb combo and I love it but I think it may have an issue. I traded for it and when I brought it home I noticed one of the 6l6s in the inner sockets was blown. I replace the inner tubes with a set of Mesa 6l6's I had hanging around, fired it up, and both it the inner tubes...

Can anyone tell me the exact differences between a Mark IVa and a Mark IVb? I am aware the controls are updated somewhat on revision b but I'm more interested in the sonic differences. Were there changes made to circuit for revision b? I only ask because I just got my hands on a Mark IVb combo...

I just traded my Roadster head for a Mark IVb combo in excellent condition. I couldn't be happier. I loved the Roadster but after years of tweaking was still unable to find my sound in it. I put it up on Craigslist i hopes of selling it and a local guy offered me his Mark IV for it. We met...

I will most likely be aquiring a Mark IV combo later this week as a trade for my Roadster head. I'm super stoked about this- the more I play the Mark IV the more I love it. Only one problem- I prefer the way it sounds with my 2x12 recto cab over the evm-12l and I want to cut down on the size and...

I'm seriously considering this. I've had my Roadster on Craigslist for a while and I have an offer to trade it for a Mark IV combo in excellent condition. I've been playing with my bosses Mark IV a little at work. It's so tight and fluid and has all the tones I've been trying to get out of my...

Seriously Annoying.

Finally! It will be the July issue. Hits newstands early June.

I was just on the GC site and where there used to be a ton of Mesa gear listed there are now only 12 different products with 11 of them being listed as clearance items. When you search Mesa Mark V you are redirected to a page that says "sorry this item has been discontinued or is temorarily out...

Can anyone recommend a good pedalboard? I've been looking at lyt, pedalpad, and trailer trash. Unit does not need power but should have area to stow away power supplies. I have a fair amount of pedals and I want flexibility so it should be at least 30" wide.
