That's funny. Mine was repaired by the Mesa repair tech in South Australia and it took 4 days, so I doubt it went to the other side of the world in that amount of time. He also said that Mesa emailed him the schematic.

Someone scan one and post it if they can be bothered. I would really like this so I don't have to walk around the back of the amp to change pentode/triode etc.

The dealer (who isn't the aussie distributor) didn't think it was a huge operation. They thought it was just held in by the allan bolts onto the chassis. What surprises me is that neither mesa or the Australian mesa distributor gave any instructions or warnings about this. No one said to the...

Hey dudes. I was one of the lucky ones to get a dodgy face plate with finger removable decals. Contacted the dealer and they had a new one sent from Mesa which they told me to replace myself. Therein lies the problem. I removed the original faceplate by undoing the allan bolts, but when I...

Does this 'hum' go away when you switch the fan off?

I had no reverb when I first got my amp. It ended up being one of the mechanical relays that was at fault.

I recommend getting something smaller if you get a 4x12. I fucked my back lifting it into the car on my own. Had to see the physiotherapist 3 times in 2 weeks. It's just got better now after a lot of TLC and rest. I own a eminence 2X12 which has the speakers positioned diagonally. Looks like a...

I contacted my dealer and they said the faceplate is covered under warranty. Mine is only missing one letter, but I paid a lot for this amp and don't want the lettering to ever wear off so I am going to demand satisfaction. Maybe they should employ a face paint tester who rubs all the faces...

I agree here that there are definitely those who are MESA-bashing because they don't know how to or don't think they can get a good tone out of their MarkV. I suggest to them to spend more time tweaking the amp and less time on the boogie board talking about how **** the tone is. I paid...

I'm 28 years old and have owned a transistor amp since I was 19. I have tried a few tube amps - Carvin Legacy, Peavey 5150, Crate Blue Voodoo, Rectifiers, Randalls. The V is my first tube amp and despite a few minor problems, such as shitty paint on the faceplate and having to get the reverb...

Leaded paint on the faceplate Mine reads Full P wer now. :?

"Full Power" on mine now reads "Full Pcwer and I paid $4500 AUS for mine. I thought it wore off pretty quick too. It seems mesa have botched this up a bit.

Someone needs to give you a slap. Like all good amps, it takes a fine tuned ear to coax a killer tone from the MarkV. I have had it for about 6 weeks now and am starting to get really nice tones from it. Mark I mode can be slider EQ'd to sound as clear as any sound in channel 3 and MarkIV and...

^ +100 Trolling is the lowest form of comedy.

1) An effects loop for each channel 2) An independent after preamp volume pedal loop 3) Turn the 2 way preset/sliders toggle switch into a 3 way preset/sliders/balance-between-the-two with the rotary pot 4) Tail fins 5) Cup holder 6) 'Demo mode' - Like the old Casio keyboards had (could...

I'm keeping mine. Using Mark IV mode with preset EQ for rhythm, Mark I with graphic EQ for leads and Fat mode for my cleans. Also going to get a Lehle D Loop so that I can have 2 effects loops. One with Ernie Ball volume pedal for the rhythm tone and one with an OD and MXR delay for my lead...

Has anyone used a lehle pedal to get two effects loops? http://www.lehle.com/frameset.php?country=au&lang=en&A_Link=products I think the D.Loop is what I am looking for. Seemingly you should be able to effectively have two effects loops running from the one Mark V effects loop, so have one for...

I would have stabbed the guy in the neck if he did that to me. What a sham. At least you can still get a V. The head rocks brother! Especially through a 4x12. You'll be loving it when you get a "real" one.
