Am selling my MESA Mark V 90 watt head which is still the mother of all MESA amps in my opinion. Am mostly using an AXE III right now and it is not getting used so am passing it along. This is the fourth one I have had. I always end up getting another one when I want a real tube amp, and will no...

Looking for one of these that somebody has laying around or doesn't want.

Found one.

Shoot me a message if you have one in head version you want to move at good price.

Looks really clean. GLWS.

There is one on THE Gear Page.

I got my quad today (fast shipping and well packaged) and after letting them set inside my house to get to room temperature for a couple hours (it has been like 30 below wind chill here), I fired them up. Can't say there was any huge difference from the MESA STR 440 set that was in, but what I...

Just ordered a quad. Will see how they work out.

I actually really liked the modes already in Ch1 and Ch2 before I put the 12AT7 in V4. When I put the 12AT7 in V4- Ch3 really improved in a good way and it wasn't really bad before- just hard to dial in. Much easier to dial in tones now. Really like it. I would suggest borrowing a Mark V from...

Have been chatting with Bandit about this. I bought a used MARK V unit and it had a Jan/Phillips 12AT7 in the V6 slot. It sounded good, but he encouraged me to try it in V4. Have to say it makes quite a change for the better at least to my ears. Smoother, punchier, and improved in all three...

Interesting. The Mesa Tech that I chatted with was not aware of any significant design changes, and asked around with some other veteran staff there and they were not really either. He did think the schematic info from here looked legit. I wonder how many, or if anyone has seen an actual...

This thread form before has some good ideas. http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=72170

Yes. Bandit 2013 picture of updated resistors. Same resistors as in his pic. I actually talked to Mesa support about this and they reviewed the pics and schematics, etc. They asked around the shop and nobody thought any changes were of any big significance there. They stated that it is not...

Well, curiosity got the best of me so I cracked open the hood on mine. I apparently have the newer array of resistors. I guess since it was made in December 2009 maybe they started using the slightly different resistor parts by then. I can’t say I heard any difference in sound between this 2009...

Have had the Mark V 25 watt, and a newer (2013) Mark V 90W, and a 2009 Mark V 90 W that was made in late December of 2009 so am not sure if it had the CH3 tone stack change or not. I would get a used 90W version if you can spend a few more bucks. Used they can be had for under $1500 if you are...

Thanks. Interesting read. Sometime I might open mine up. Being it has a 12/14/2009 build date it could be either the original CH 3 design or the revised one. I have no complaints about any of the channels to be honest. Since it has a 12AT7 in V6 that might be a factor. Not really getting any...

What was the change on the tone stack on Channel 3??

Picked up a used really clean Dec 2009 build date MARK V. I had 2013 one earlier. Sold it. Missed Channel 1 cleans, and the Channel 2 Mark I mode. Needed to get it back. Anyway- are there any major changes on this first year version from more recent years? The previous owner did put a JAN...

Sold.
