This has aged very well. Just saying

Yes, fully closed back

I use mine with the horizontal 2X12 Rectifier cab. Works great

Maybe try a Mesa SPAX7 preamp in V1?

As versatile as it is, I bought it solely because the top boost mode alone was already bloody fantastic 8)

That can definitely happen on any Mesas as far as I know

IMO, to get a more Marshall tone, you need to have the treble up more. You could always run the treble lower, but it doesn't sound very Marshall at all Also, for anyone else that is keen to try this out, I've found that if a tone is ever too bright, you could try lower the master volume ever so...

IMO, you should check out the Transatlantic TA-30 if you can, albeit it has been discontinued

I know someone who uses KT77s with his, and he loves it

Personal preference, I still love those Winged C 6L6s in them Rectifiers 8)

For me on my Roadster, channel 1 alternates between clean and fat modes. The second channel is predominantly stuck in Brit mode 8)

For all we know, the clean modes on a Road King could be a mixup between the Lone Stars and the Mark Is. IMO, the cleans on Mesas improved very much so after the introduction of the Lone Star series A bit of a sidetrack since I noticed that you own a Mark V. I too own the head version. To me...

How's about the clean mode? Just curious of your thoughts as I do own a Roadster head as well. Basically the same preamp as your Road King II. Personally, I dig both modes for different textures and flavours if you will

Not to discredit what you hear, because you hear what you hear, and there's nothing wrong with that. But the Road King II cleans are also based on the Lonestar circuitry

It's under the Recto series, yes. But my point was it wasn't the Single and Dual Recto tones that metalheads were looking for. It had it's own great tone, but it was ignored by many

I would say more of the economy being bad, not to mention time and time again whenever Mesa Boogie brings out a model that isn't in the Rectifier nor Mark series, they tend to get forgotten about. Just like the Maverick model. Such a great model. There have been people that flogged off their...

That's great to hear that everything turned out alright. Touch wood, I hope I don't have much issues with some of my discontinued Mesa Boogies. They sound great and are so unique to anything else they offer that losing them wouldn't be easy as in finding a similar replacement

Perhaps a different flavour. Never found the gain channels ever flubby or too bassy if you use the general rule of tweaking knobs on a Mark series such as turning down the bass, even almost all the way off, when running the gain knob high. Then you bring back the low end via the graphics EQ...

Still different voicing. The Stiletto will still sound more British

I love the grille. It complements the overall look IMO, even though we don't always spend the time looking at the back of the head 8)
