Ok no prob Found it on the mesa website. It seems to be the same as str 6l6.

Ho ho ho and merry xmas to ya'll What is a 5881 tube ?? Is it the same as a 6l6 but with different label? Please help cause one of my amps is loosing volume, it comes and goes, kinda fluctuates and the manufacturer states that the poweramp tubes are 5881. Thanks Geiri

You have to have the preset mode on, that way you can have the recto on ch 1 crunch on ch 2 and clean on ch 3 or which ever order you choose. It should be easy to find in the manual how to switch between preset mode and effects mode.

I've had very good results with the cheap a$$ HUSH pedal.

There was also some speculation regarding the 81/85 combo. Someone here on the board was pretty happy with that set up after reversing it. 81 in the neck position and 85 in the bridge. That ought to beef things up a bit.

I used a g sharp with my stilletto head and it was sweet. Sold it to buy a g system another sweet setup, but I always missed that little box. Now I have a mk 4 and a dd 20 which in it self is sufficient but I still miss the G sharp. I'll probably be picking up a g sharp again soon, it's a very...

I completely agree with fronzil. Before I got my mk4 I read tons of posts on how the clean and crunch channels were useless. I thought it's ok since I was mainly after the lead sound. Now I know what a bunch of horseshit these posts were, I love all three equally and in my opinion the mk4 is...

Hey monsta There is no snow in southern iceland. It snows here in the south maby 3-4 weeks a year and there are no glaciers in the city of reykjavík except those we put in the whiskey :D If you ever decide to visit Iceland be sure to let me know. I'll be your personal tour guide and beer...

Dude you handled this admirably. If I were living in the states you'd be my main amp tech and I wouldn't regret a dime payed to you for your services. Please move to Iceland so you can work on my mk4 when it's time comes. Have a merry christmas and a rocking new year. Geiri

I use a boss dd 20, it's all a mark4 needs, just a little ambience

Spot on my man. You mentioned the "old horn" what is that exactly ???

Actually this is what esp calls 'em. eclipse ctm, It's referring to the gibson les paul custom.

Sadly it's been many years since Gibson built a decent guitar. Even more sad is to see them dragging their name through the mud with poor build quality. They have gone from superior to something a lot less. I'd have no problems putting a mid to upper level LTD against their custom shop guitars...

**** that amp sounds wicked. Thanks for sharing if I add one more amp it'll be the ed for sure, it has what the mk4 and the 2c+ have. A soul, something I find lacking in the mk5.

fluff For a little time period I had duncan blackouts in one of my horizons. Having them removed was a mistake that will be remedied soon. I a/b emg stocked horizon with my duncan blackout stocked one. Identical guitars same amp cable and cabinet. The main difference was that the blackouts had...

Well I mostly use my mk4 at home and I don't have any bad tone issues at a very low volume. A 10 watt option is a very nice feature but like I said no problems on my end. As I'm writing this the clock is 06:45 here in Iceland the wife and my two kids are sleeping and I'm playing. Sounds sooo...

Sorry mesagod I disagree. What you need deaj is an esp eclipse, emg's or duncans is a matter of taste. Try to get your hands on one of those and give it a little playing time. You'll end up loving it. If you don't like the les paul bodyshape Then there is always the esp horizon nt II. Do a...

The a series has two loops one that is on all the time and the other is switchable. The b series has one stereo effects loop. You could hook the b series to any other amp and get it in stereo through the loop, very handy if stereo is your thing. The b supposedly has a tad more gain on r2 but...

My man get yourself another MK IV. If you liked the tight focused sound of the mk IV then anything from the recto family will sound annoying at best. I've been through most of the mesa catalogue and it was a MK IV that cured my amp gas for good.
