Congrats! I miss my red stripe a lot

Yeah I'm pretty impressed with it. I very briefly tried it with my 50 watt 5153 too, and it sounded great with that too, more lowend than the 2x12 evh cab

Update: grabbed a widebody closed back 1x12. Sounds excellent. Does have the MC90, but I like these speakers just fine

That is incredible!!! Congrats!!

Yeah I've got a couple 2x12s I want to try it out with. Although I'm not certain if they'll be the best suited for a mark but worth trying. One is a front loaded with T75s. I also have an EVH 2x12 with H30s but that won't have the power handling for the mark

Its a C90. Was hoping I'd luck out with an EV but at the price I got it for I can't really complain lol. I'm considering a headshell conversion, I've often struggled a bit with high gain sounds and an open back cab, but I do appreciate the all in one convenience for gigs (especially since it...

Lol! It's usually sitting on a cab, this photo was taken day after a gig and I hadn't set my tower back up yet

Scored this export model for a mere $1k! Using a step up transformer right now, but from what I've seen from schematics the exports have multiple taps? So getting in touch with some local techs to see whats up. Serious steal though!

Hey all, I've been going through a saga of trying to score this Mark IVb combo, went to test/purchase on saturday, powered on but wasn't getting any sound. Long story short the fellow was european and not a musician, and after poking around I realized that it was a 240v export model (I'm in the...

Haha if I ever have both my 4x12s in the same room I will for sure Pretty basic settiongs on my SD-1, level all the way up, gain almost off but on just a few clicks, and tone around 1 o clock

I'd prefer a Mark III Reissue

Agreed, I love mesas so much haha. I had a rectoverb 50 combo for a bit as well I am using an SD-1 for boosting as well with the roadster. Crushing!

Yes, this only happens with modern mode, which is my favorite for the high gain haha. Fortunately, I did figure out how to fix this. As long as I'm running channel 4 in 50 watts, and my cleans in 100 watts, there is no volume jump issue. Everything is all balanced. Works like a charm!

Second followup, without a knob twiddling balancing act - the easiest way around this is actually to run the clean channel in 100 watt mode, and channel 4 in 50 watt mode. Instantly remediates any issue

Following up in this thread, practice number 2 after spending a minimal amount of time playing with wattage, rectifier, and level settings I was able to get past this issue pretty quickly. I changed a bunch of settings all at once so I can't quite pin point but no longer having an issue

I posted an inquiry thread but realized I didn't do a proper NAD! Been out of the mesa family for about 7 months so happy to be back in I've wanted one of these since I was 17. Just as epic as I remember. Had one full band practice so far, sounds amazing just plug in play I'm excited to get...

Yeah I think it will just be a matter of tweaking compromise on the looper level as well. It occurred to me I think I might be able to hook up a expression pedal to control the loop level so failing anything else I might look into that. Unfortunately a lot of my bands song require clean stacked...

Hello all, just got a roadster. Absolutely love the tones out of it, but I’m running into a peculiar “issue” with my looper. Myself and my bass player both use rc-500 loopers and do quite a bit of live looping. I run my rc-500 as the very last pedal in my fx loop chain. I’ve noticed that when...

Yeah this thing is a real sleeper! Hangs right up there with amps I've owned that cost 2x + as much. I always come back to mesa! Thanks! Have a new band in the works that will hopefully bring this express to the stage once more stages start opening up

Last week I traded my rectoverb 50 combo for this 5:50+. Super happy that I did. I loved the distortion on the ROV but the cleans completely fell apart at band volume. The clean channel on this express is simply breathtaking! Loud, powerful, gorgeous, lush, all the buzz words. I also think this...
