Hey...great site. Thanks! It looks like they use walnut or canadian maple for their cabs. How would that affect the sound?

These are meant for an extension with the combo, correct? Because I have the C+ head. Anyone use just a head and a thiele...how does it sound?

GTS, No but you've piqued my interest. Any reputable cabinet makers you could suggest? I guess as long as they're using the correct dimensions and wood...can't go wrong, right? I contacted Mesa today. They don't sell Imbuya anymore, and Bubinga's not quite a perfect match for my cab. Plus the...

They're on ebay all the time.

Well, ok....preferably, Imbuya and Wicker. Aged wicker so it matches my twenty something C+ wicker. I'm starting to realize how much of a pain this is going to be to find. :cry:

Hardwood and wicker preferred (to match my C+...I don't believe it's an exotic, just standard semi-dark hardwood), but will take a tolex one also. Thanks!

Ok, I'll give it a try just for fun. But my C+ is the 60 watt version...no class A. Also, we have a lot of quick transitions from overdrive to clean or vice versa that I can't do with the guitar's volume knob. Also, I'm still interested in the dual Thiele setup. What else can you tell me about...

Thanks, Joey. But that essentially gives me a single channel amp for my uses. I run Vol 1 on about 8, and the Lead master on 7-8, Lead drive on 2-3. Using a boost I can get sort of a three channel amp. But I find for rhythm overdrive, the RHYTHM channel (guess that makes sense, doesn't it)...

because I think the Rhythm channel BOOSTED sounds much better for what I play than the Lead channel for overdrive. I'm not a metal player. I like classic style hard rock sounds. Am I doing something wrong here?

Joey...how do the two Thieles sound compared to your Halfback cab?

Would a half back vertical 2x12 be better than two Thieles? That's kind what I was going for with this setup, but I don't think I'm coming close because I don't think it sounds very good. It could just be the Swamp Thang. The idea of selling this cab sucks, though. I hate that process.

Bah...who is this "Petrucci" amateur? :shock:

I currently have a vertical Rectifier 2x12 with an EVM 12L and an Eminence Swamp Thang. I was thinking about putting a second EVM in there. I was thinking about going with the two Thiele w/ EVMs setup. It seems it might be easier to pack and get around with two 1x12s. Would there be a dramatic...

Tone qualities and capabilities. I've owned a Mark IV and currently a IIC+. I was thinking a IIB could be an affordable backup since I'm a low gain player. Thanks in advance.. -Trey

UPDATE Rich from Mesa gave me a call yesterday. Diagnosis: Reverb tank was shot. It'll get replaced. The chassis was cracked and needs to be welded. One microphonic 12ax7 (i had checked all of them...apparently not so well.) I hadn't shipped the amp with my power tubes, which I should have. And...

Looking to put another 8ohm speaker in my 2x12 recto cab, I can't do anything with this 16ohm for now. Looking to trade my G12H30 70th Anniversary 16ohm in great condition for another speaker in good condition of equal or greater value (i will pay the difference). ***PLEASE EMAIL OFFERS TO...

Try knocking Vol. 1 down a little bit. This will darken your clean some. I run my treble pretty high, about 8.5 pulled. With Boogies, the gain controls are very interactive, especially with the treble knobs I've noticed. They even state this in the Mark IV manual. The Mark IIC+ feels...

Phrex, it's Trey. I'm still waiting on your email addy so I can pay you for that one right now. PM me on HC when you get a chance. Maybe your mailbox is full.

Well, the insides look pretty clean. That's all I can tell from here. Bump. I'd like to see how this project turns out. Good luck and keep us posted. It's too bad he falsely advertised it as a factory original C+. Did you say anything about it to him?

It's hard to say without seeing the serial number. On mine, I believe the Bass knob has a pull function (where it doesn't in your pic) I can't remember because mine's at the Mesa shop right now, and the presence knob is on the back. Of course, mine's the head. There are some other members that...
