Very cool. The 45 has a switch for the NFB. Makes it very nice.

I do know that my Mark IV sounds better after it is used for a while. Sitting in "standby" doesn't seem to assist one way or the other (as others have said). I know it's not in the Mark lineage, but my Nomad does not need that sort of "warmup" time. Now, if I could only get them both to make...

It should be the one all the way on the left, looking at it from the back. You can go to http://mesaboogie.com/media/User%20Manuals/Road%20King.pdf to download a copy of the manual. Hope this helps.

Mine has the MC90. So does my Mark IV. I am quite pleased with how both of them sound.

Sounds like you are definitely enjoying your Nomad! They seem to be the "ugly dog" in the Mesa breeding line - either you hate them or you love them. People complain about them. I guess we are the lucky ones! Channel 1 is very responsive to having an OD pedal in front of it. I play my Jester...

Absolutely. On my Mark IV's clean channel, I max the preamp gain, set the EQ based on which guitar I am using, and then get the most wonderful "jazzy" sound. I'ts a clean sound, but breaks when you apply pressure. PS: I hardly ever play anything metal or high-gain. The Mark IV works for me!

Found this on an old thread. (Quoted from user "John Phillips"). On the DC series, the tubes are: V1 - first gain stages for both channels V2 - second and third gain stages for the lead channel only V3 - fourth gain stage for the lead channel and FX loop return stage V4 - second and third gain...

Sorry. Don't have a G-System. You may want to try posting this also on TGP (The Gear Page). There may be someone there that has one and can help you.

I listened to it this morning. I like how it sounds with drums and bass added to it. I think the bass tone that you chose was a good one to match up to what you were doing with the guitar. Neither of them intruded on the other one's space. Nice.

Amen! I set aside some practice time for "gear" time. All I do during those sessions is mess around and try new and different things with my amps and pedals. I've discovered a lot of new (to me) capabilities of my amps. Most recently, I tried my Mark IV with the preamp gain on channel 1...

I bought my Nomad 45 1x12 2 years ago and paid only $400 from Guitar Center (I got a very good deal). Personally, I would not pay $700 for a 55. I would guess that $600 - $625 would be a good price for both the seller and the buyer. Hope that helps.

After I had my Nomad for a few years it developed a small issue. We have no one within several hours of driving that can service Mesa amps. So, I pulled the chassis and sent it to Mesa. George (don't know his last name) worked on it and did an excellent job. While he was in there, he fixed a few...

Don't know. I've never run my Mark IV with 6L6s only. I like having the EL34s in there for two reasons:(1) I can run in "class A" and use only the EL34s and (2) Simul-class sounds so good with the two tube types. The breakup on EL34s is just different enough that I want to keep the option of...

How are you liking your Nomad? I have a Nomad 45 1x12 combo and love it! I bought it dirt-cheap at a Guitar Center (via telephone). It had some serious issues, but, GC address every single issue on their dime - including shipping. (Karl at the GC in University Park in Chicago was a super help in...

I asked the same question of my Express 5:50 (non-plus) version that I had a year or so ago. Owners were wanting to know why there was not a foot-switch for the 4 different modes. I don't remember the exact technical reason, but it was because there was more to it than just a switch.

Just realized I had never posted a picture of my Mesa amps.

Good point. I should have mentioned this in my earlier post, but didn't think about it. Class A mode is a key component. I run EL34s for the outside tubes. It makes a difference at volume.

Perhaps I don't understand the question. But, my Mark IV has a rocker switch to allow switching between Class A and Simul-Class at any time. Also, there is a jack in the back where you can plug in a foot-switch for switch between the two modes. But, like I said, I may be missing the question.

My Nomad has the feature, but I end up using it a lot less than I thought that I would. My Mark IV doesn't have it. It would be nice sometimes, but I find that I don't miss it that much now.

I did some adjustments to my setup with my Mark IV. I found it interesting and fun to use. And, with the recent rise in the number of threads associated with the Mark IV, I thought I would share it with everyone else. Here is what I have done: I plug my guitar into my Effectrode Blackbird. The...
