O.p.: if you really want to get in deep,if you look in these mesa catalogs ( 1 only has a roster list of players), there are hundreds of major artists' pics of thier mesa rigs.Bass & guitar users. Back in the day I collected boogie literature. These catalogs,price lists,press releases, etc...

Indiana state or Indiana,PA ? Thx.

This was a year earlier I believe, on the IGWT tour.Pretty serious and impressive stage,w/ a ton of boogie cabs,all front grill era.

^^^^ sounds great.im assuming the vii was on the slide solo? Or other parts?

Those amps in your reply would certainly do modern country and they could do old school too. Not into the current rap/ pop/ bubblegum top 40 tweener sampled country stuff. I've shared the big stage with many headliners from the 90s,early 00 yrs. I've never seen 1 boogie except Charlie...

So your ch 1 & 2 are in crunch mode? I do know mkiib mode is getting some attention from country players.Doug West alludes to it too in his interview. One of the bands I'm in does modern country and the other guitar player got a vii.we like iib mode for sure,but we're trying to get the amp...

I get it,some want right to the point,dnt wanna read a story.i get that.But at the same time,this is the boogie board and all things mesa,if anyone's gonna get in depth on a mesa,this is where I'd want to see that. Always better to have more info than not enough and then have to ask 50 million...

Thx for the info! Much appreciated. I haven't played thru it yet.I did get some pics sent to me.Every slider knob on the 5 band is missing.urrggh..

Great overviews! I'm getting ready to buy a vii and/ or a jp2c too.For all you out there that own or owned both; how are the " in between " sounds of each? Ie: mid or lower gain, chimey,sparkly,jangly tones? I'm a shredder head all day long and i love the high gain tones of my iic+, &...

^^^^^ I'm a big fan of running two amp heads and cabs together. If I'm running 2 of the same heads I purposely set them a bit different so they tonally compliment each other in a mix. My question is: on 2 mkvii's, are you going to run same tubes on both or different tubes( or colors)?

^^^^ I have no idea on cost.I wish I did.I saw this and was too late, they were already closed.I wanted one of these so bad.I ended up using Bradshaw's, but I would've easily bought one of these.

Isolation and grounds are always big issues in these, even phase sometimes. Here's this other company ( no longer in oper.) that was making an improved version of the mesa.I liked what I saw there.

O.p. Yours actually does a lot more than my ol discontinued mesa amp switcher..( which it's title was always a bit misleading). And at least on my version,I never liked if you didn't have at 1 input selected,you had no pass thru sound at all. There was a company some years ago that was taking...

^^^^^ Excellent commentary Bandit!! I love reading all them.Especially important for anyone who needs info on the differences of all the models and features.

I'll probably open a hornets nest, but having owned almost every boogie since the iib,I cannot fathom or remotely imagine an overdrive or dist pedal into a high gain boogie,or specifically into a high gain ch.that's already set crazy high,- other than say into thier clean chnls.I use my marshall...

Looking at mkiib fs with serial # 7617. Does anyone know if that's a late enough # to have the RP9C preamp board? I dnt know if I'll be allowed to open it up to look. As a knowledgeable boogie friend reccomended to me,I'll give it a play thru anyways to see what it's like.

^^^^ I got to see them on that tour.It was It was over the top with mesa gear.I was fortunate enough to get to hang out with them on their against the law tour.They were still using quads and 400s,but thier mesa cabs were all black and blue stripes.

40 4x12 cabs ,you read that right,Stryper toured with 40 boogie cabs + quad preamps & strategy 400 power amps on stage.Also in this same article, Night Ranger,Scorpions,Metallica,Level42,Midnight Oil,Anthrax & Living Colour all mesa users; from the 89' mesa boogie bulletin newsletter.

I'm sure if you're in an apartment or condo or close housing development,unless u have a dedicated sound proofed studio place it might be hard to turn up an amp. Fortunately, I live in the country,and thankfully the bands I play in and the gigs I get ,I never hardly rarely ever have a...

The power amps in this catalog showed what the Quad was paired up with for quite a few years.My salesman back in the day talked me out of the 400 and I bought the 295 for my quad.As nice as it was I wish I would've went with my instincts and bought the 400.
