Hi guys! I usually run all my effects through the loop in my Mark IV except my wah. I've always just pluggged a cord from my amp to the wah to the guitar. Can I run the wah thru the loop? It would be easier to keep all my effects on 1 board & just run it through the loop. Does it change a wahs...

It WAS a preamp tube! V1 to be exact. Works fine now.

Thanks for that! I have a Mark IV also! Great amp! Anyways, when this started happening I was plugged in at home playing as I have done many times since I bought the amp & it just started doing it! (white noise & popping). Any other thoughts?

Hi! I've had the amp for several months now & it just start making popping & distorted noises. It happens even if I unplug the guitar cord. I've only used it for one practice & one gig & for goofing at home. It aslo makes a loud pop when I turn it to standby which it never did before. So...

It WAS the cable! Got a new stereo cable & it works! Thanks for your responses!

Yeah the cable is pushed in all the way & this is the stereo cable from mesa now but still no worky. I have it plugged in to the footswitch input in the front of the amp. Still no worky. Bad footswitch?

Thanks! Yeah this switch is on loop in. Still no solo boost light on the footswitch & no audible boost when I turn up the solo knob. Could the footswitch be bad? Like I said it will switch channels but the solo light won't even turn on when I push the solo button on the footswitch. Argh!

I just bought a 2x12 Ace combo that was shipped to me with the footswitch but not a cord with the footswitch. I used a guitar cable & it would switch channels but no solo boost. I called the shop where I bought it & they sent me out a stereo cord saying it would work now but still no solo boost...

Is the Ace still available?

No problem with any replies about cabs! I'm having a great time listening to what you guys have to say. Thanks!

****, thanks guys! I wish Mesa had been as informative as you guys! I was using my Carvin cab as a closed back but I always had some weird overtones on the bass side. I made the cab an open back & it got rid of those overtones, so I'm a little worried about closed back cabs. Maybe it was just...

Thanks guys! So consenses(?) is a 2x12 recto with V30's & in the mix is a thiele 1x12 & a Mark series half back cab. I was wondering if Mesa made a cab specifically for the Mark series? I haven't ever heard of a Mark series cab & when I called boogie they never said anything about one. The Mark...

How interesting! I almost bid on a 2x12 mesa cab with c90's. So the recto has vintage 30's & my Carvin has V30's. What's the difference? The cab? Should I expect the V30's In a Recto cab to sound better than my Carvin cab? Thanks guys!

Thanks fpoon. Why the Recto?

Hi guys! I'm currently using a Carvin Legacy 2X12 cab with vintage 30s. It sounds ok, maybe even good but I was wondering if the Mesa 2X12 3/4 back with C90s would sound better? I was set to get an Avatar cab with vintage 30's thinking maybe the cab itself was built better & would therefore...

That's right. I was trying to figure out how to attach the footswitch to the back of my Mark IV short head & the cord to the footsitch seemed to be in the way. I tried to unscrew in & the nut came unattached inside the footswitch. So I took apart the footswitch and while I was unscrewing the...

Hi zeppman. I've been working with 6v6's for a couple of months & just tried something yesterday that gave me an "oh wow" Turn the output level to 5 & turn the individual master really low. Mine are anywhere from 1 to 2. Those 6v6's will really cook! Then you can start turning up the individual...

Wow Monsta-tone! Please do let us know the results. Take care.......

Thanks AMG1! You can't get any clearer than that! take care.

Hi guys. can I run my Mark IV in class A with 6v6's. I'm running it with 6v6's the way the manual says but was wondering if I could change to class A settings. Thanks!
