Don't forget audio clips!!!

Dial in more mids. Place the mic on the edge of the speaker cone on the outside edge of the cab as close as possible. WAR EAGLE!!! :twisted:

:lol: Or "why did I sell" thread...

If I were you I would strip the paint off the grill and leave it like brushed steel, maybe with a clear coat. Or even paint it to match the wicker face plate on the head!!! That would be cool...

Bold text is from page 17 in the Mark IV b manual: V1A= Input Stage V1B= Tone Recovery Stage (post tone controls) So V1 affects all channels V2A=Third Gain Stage (Rhythm Modes) and Fifth Lead Gain Stage V2B= FX Return Stage So V2 affects all channels and the FX loop which is alway in the...

Brings new meaning to the saying, "that band stinks!!" Funny as hell!!! :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Not sure how it got in there, but that's the funniest thing I've heard all day!!! I can picture it being smart enough to aim into the port. "What's in this hole? Let me pee in it!!" Mwahahahaha!!!

They definately make the amp quieter. I do like them and use them in V1 through V4 on my IV. Did the same on my Rectoverb and had similar results. However, I use a balanced GT-12AX7-R2 in the phase inverter position, which is a long plate tube. The long plate design gives less compression...

Put the amp and a box of baking soda in a flight case for a couple of days, and that will freshen it up nicely. If you don't have a case, use some other sealed enclosure for maximum effectiveness. 8)

BURNED by the master!!! :twisted: :lol: All jokes aside, no pun intended. Great additude to have when you seem to have done no research. This is probably the best place to get technical details aside from calling Mesa Boogie themselves. If you are not trained to work on amps, it would...

I believe Mesa measures wattage on a proprietary scale. I think they either rate to a specific THD % which would be real low, like less than 5%; or they rate to Peak-RMS. And it could be a combination of both. For example, the Mark IV is rated at 85 watts and the combo comes with a 90 watt...

Lucky no one touched the cap before it was discharged. Not sure about these caps, but some caps include the shell as part of the ground. It would shock you if you touched the shell. Also, I've seen videos where caps can explode if they are wired backwards. :shock: Great tune-up and...

Download and print out the manual and take that with you. Here's the link courtesy of MrMarkIII: http://www.mediafire.com/?ohzjnmojmo2 8)
