Hi all, I've got a great .22 caliber amp but would love to use one of the two 4 ohm output jacks for the amp's internal speaker and the other 4 ohm jack for a 1x12" closed back extension cabinet. I have this setup w/my Mark V (8 ohm for each speaker/jack) and it adds a lot to the overall tone...

Southern New England - Local Pickup Only! Safe Case for Mesa Boogie Mark V. You own Mesa Boogie’s flagship combo amplifier, you don’t really want a top-shelf-boutique tube amp to rattle around in your backseat unprotected do you? Solid, Safe Case construction ensures your baby won’t come to...

Hi folks, Looking for recommendations for a compressor stomp box for solos that work well in conjunction with this amps 'solo' boost engaged. Any help appreciated. JD

I suggest reaching out to Mesa Boogie customer service directly via phone. They've made multiple wicker grills for me that are reasonably priced. If they don't have the grill baffle/frame for a Mark IV in stock, you can probably ship them yours and they'll do the covering for you and it will...

Hi all, I know there is likely a thread somewhere but..... I'm looking for a list of preferred tubes for a an early make Studio .22 with the lead drive mod (installed by MB) Any help appreciated. John

If you'd care to say: How much did you pay for a 'used' MkV combo @ Sweetwater? I've had plenty of good experiences with the company, but they seem to rarely have used stuff. I bought my 2009 MkV combo used from the 2nd owner last summer. I strongly recommend changing the fuse and/or tubes...

Thank you - BMW-KTM!

https://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=85042#p523732 -Yep....as noted here! But to be fair, I now have a 90w Wide Body 8 ohm closed back cabinet splitting the signal with the 90w speaker in open back cabinet that is the combo. Having that open back cabinet up a couple feet closer to...

Apeman, I'm seeing that speaker as rated as 60 watts (https://wgsusa.com/vet30) Wouldn't we need a speaker rated for 90 watts in the combo? I ask because I'm still not content with 'taming the treble' in this fine amp and am open to trying a speaker change. Any help appreciated.

Hi all, Apologies if this has been discussed here before but I noticed an image that had me scratching my head a bit: https://mesaboogie.com/amplifiers/electric/mark-series/mark-five/index.html Please scroll down to the amp's front panel image directly under "OVER 40 YEARS OF RANDALL SMITH’S...

Q1 & Q2: Yes, as stated by my fellow owners above! Q3: Review Pages 30-32 of the manual to learn exactly what tubes are used - and how they are used - in the various wattage configurations. However, nothing is noted in the entire manual (I've reviewed it often in the past 5 months) about...

Great Job with this! As you list "Brown" I'm wondering: Are the settings are full power or Variac mode?

As a longtime Gilmour fan here (first time seeing the man in person was on the About Face tour!)....nice job! But I see you have two amps in that video. Are we hearing stuff coming out of your MarkIIC and another amp?

Sounds like you already had your mind made up when you posted..coming to a conclusion 24 hours later. Would've recommended at Mark V 90w for versatility and dispute the "decent cleans" - the Mark V cleans are as good as any combo if you dial them in. Also, not 'hard' to dial in...just takes...
