Welcome!!

Hands down the best video so far. thank you @Doug Doppler coaxed some great tones out of the amp. I learned a few new things that I want to try with my OG HR. That said IMHO always felt the IIC+ was always pegged as this metal amp... but it is so much more. Yea the single channel dual mode is...

man that sounds pretty awesome. The WB C90 is a great paring, I do think the EVM Thiele as an extension with the WB is sweet. If you get motivated to lug it over I'd dig hearing how you liked that.

Hey Damon welcome back it's been a while. FWIW I found many of your past Lonestar posts really helpful as I was getting into my LSS. But yea digging the Badlander 50 big time. For me I'm finding the various combinations of el34/6l6/triode/pentode/variac really provide some useful tone...

Well, that's excellent news. V3 are gain stages for Ch 1 & Ch 2 so at 1st glance perhaps one would think Ch 3 would have shown more function, but as you stated the reverb was different on Ch 3. BTW, the forum here is also for discussion about Mesas in general :) Feel free to come back and...

+1 Well put. Being thru a few startup acquisitions... this is very spot on.

First I totally get the frustration... new amp and all. Well if I had to guess it seems there is a problem with the muting circuit. I am a bit familiar with the switching control, muting and reverb circuit of the V:90. If misery loves company you have a friend as I recently have lost the reverb...

bro it's gear right??? That gives you free reign LOL FWIW the BAD hasn't made me forget my Marks either. It's a different beast for sure. For my live situation it just sits perfectly in the band mix, best with the el34s. At the studio I am drawn to the V:90. :)

Welcome, sounds like a very cool amp you've enjoyed for years. I'd suggest reposting this in the Vintage Amps (before 1991) / Mark Series sub forum cause you'll get more eyes on it there. Plus also search the posts there and something may jump out.

So are you looking for a bit more beef in the lower mid-range, that deeper saturation? If so I get it, the Marks are like that. FWIW I totally dig the BAD but it's just not a Mark :)

let Excellent let us know how it works out for you. Good luck.

as @D-Max mentioned you are safe since you have a load with the speaker connected. The Direct out signal comes off of the output transformer. You can use either into your Fender amp. It just depends on your ears which one sounds better :sneaky:

Ok, just throwing ideas out here. Curious do you have a footswitch? If so perhaps disconnect it and manipulate the controls from the back panel to see if anything changes. The other thing to try is to take the FX loop Send to an outside monitor amp and see what the isolated preamp is doing. I...

This Exactly ^^^^ ... oh yea do remember, back in the day that it was difficult to get an optimal balance live. I'd also fight with getting the lead chan to cut thru at the vol levels I'd prefer. Seemed like it was always sacrificing the great liquid tone that had been dialed in between lead...

Did you try running it in 'HARD BYPASS/LOOP ACTIVE" mini toggle in the bypass position"?

Yes that's my take as well, twice I've been up to Mesa and spent a decent amount of time with MikeB. He's pretty chill especially about the whole IIC+ deal, had a number of good stories but yea got that feeling he definitively wanted to fly under the wire.

Sweet The right Boogie Man for the job I say!!! This will be very cool.

:love: awesome

Congrats oh yea the Cabclone IR is great... I don't have a VII :cry: but do have a Badlander with the CCIR and it's most excellent.

One typical usage on the IICs and IIIs they are utilized as control devices for the push/pull and footswitch functions. This is from the II-C manual
