My Mark III head has a "full power/ half power" switch on the front, along with EQ in/ out, power and standby. I read somewhere that this switch is actually the simulclass switch for this amp? Is this true?

I have a red stripe Mark III head with graphic EQ and reverb. Over the past few months, it has been doing this strange thing where, when you turn off the power switch, it doesn't turn off. At first, it'd work after turning the power switch on and off a few times and eventually it'd finally...

I'd like to have a footswitch ONLY to change from the clean rhythm (not the second rhythm channel) to the lead channel. No EQ, no reverb, no R2. Just clean to lead switching. One button, but with a light preferably. I know that I can actually buy a footswitch from Mesa specifically for...

I have a beautiful Ibanez RG3120 in the extraordinarily rare BLACK finish. Made in 1999, mahogany body, flamed maple top with black finish, DiMarzio Tone Zone/ PAF pro pickups, Lo-Pro Edge trem, made in Japan in 1999, comes with hardshell case. Looking for an amazing Mark III combo with...

I am currently using a single button footswitch to change from rhythm to lead on the Mark III and I have it plugged into the "foot switch" jack on the front of the amp. I know there are jacks on the back for EQ and reverb and also for R2 as well. Is it possible to buy a footswitch that would...

WHen I set out to get a Mark III, the main criteria was that it NEEDED to have the graphic EQ. From what I read, the EQ was the dominant force in how the tone was shaped on the amp. Well, I've been playing (and, recording) for over a week with the amp and.... I might be coming to the...

Just got a Red Stripe Mark III head.... graphic EQ, reverb, simulclass. Before I got the amp, I would read about how you can't get a great lead tone AND a great clean tone. Well, not to be an ***, but what the hell are these people talking about? This amp is magnificent. It's true that you...

I was going to keep it and I really love the amp, but I just need something with higher gain. I will ship the amp at the buyer's expense. Specs: Combo with 12 inch speaker 60/ 100 watt Graphic EQ Reverb Effects Loop 2 Channels The amp functions perfectly, although there are a few scuffs...

I have a Mark IIB and, although I really like it, I think I might want a Mark III instead, or even a Mark IV. The Mark IIB is a combo that has reverb, graphic EQ and the 100/ 60 watt switch. It has the hard wood cabinet and wicker front. It functions perfectly and the cosmetic condition is...

I was reading that, if you use the slave out on an amp, you need a speaker load. That's pretty obvious.... my question is.... if I'm using a Mark IIB (or any combo) and I simply leave its speaker plugged in and use the slave out on the back, that would be fine, right? I just need to have a...

I like to record a lot, but I can't crank my amp to mic it where I live. I have a Pod XT, which is pretty cool, but the cabinet simulation on it REALLY sucks. So, I have been using cabinet impulses. If you don't know what they are, look them up.... A while back, I went from the 'preamp out'...

What do you guys think of this tone? The amp is a 60/ 100 watt Mark IIB (set to 60 watts in this video) with graphic EQ (enabled on the video) and reverb (off). Any thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Eixdm-bOHI

A lot of questions here, so whatever you guys can answer would be great.... I own a 1981 (or, 82, I can't remember) Mark IIB with the following specs: 60/100 watt, reverb and graphic EQ. No simulclass. I have heard good things about sending older amps to Mesa for a good "cleaning." I have a...

I write "higher gain" because I've been seeing a lot of people claiming that this amp can't do Metal, which I disagree with, especially with a pedal in front of it. So, anyway, here's my demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlsOwVy4MS8

I was just wondering if anyone has tried Mesa 6L6 STR-440, 5881 STR-425 or 6V6 STR-417 tubes. I'm going to be replacing the Groove Tubes that came in my Mark IIB and I was hoping someone could give some insight into how these three models of tubes will affect the tone. Basically, I LOVE the...

First of all, I'm new here. Seems like a pretty cool forum! Anyway, the IIB sounds awesome. Maybe I'm just crazy, but it really reminds me of the Mark IV, but a little easier to tweak. Now, onto my questions: 1. Is it possible to get a really nice crunch AND a really sparkling clean tone...
