It turns out Mesa raised list prices on a few products starting December 1st, and the list price for the combo is now $2,249 (even though Mesa currently offers it for $2,199 on their Mesa Hollywood web site). But Barry is correct: if you hurry up, you should be able to score a head or a combo at...

It appears that Mesa just raised the prices on Mark V head/combos - "regular" (black on black) head is now $2,099 and combo is $2,199. Some dealers still show old prices online while others have already updated their prices (as has Mesa Hollywood web site). A $100 price increase is not going to...

The other great blues player I went to see back in March was Joe Bonamassa and he utilizes a lot more tonal variety in his playing style...but he also used about a dozen guitars, 4 amps and a large pedalboard during his performance. I didn't think his songs sounded kind of the same... just an...

Went to see Walter a couple of months ago in Seattle. He used two strats and just one channel on his Mark V head for the whole performance. He is obviously a very impressive guitar player and even though I really like a couple of his albums (Outsider is my favorite), I remember standing there...

You should use Recording out jack on the rear panel and adjust the level using Recording knob; then pull out the Output knob on the front panel and rock! :) I am in the same boat - have been playing through mixer/headphones for the last 6+ months; Mark IV it sounds very good that way (which...

Got the HotPlate 8 Ohm delivered yesterday; just spent another couple of hours in headphones tweaking and A/B'ing Mark IV/V and after all, I just can't get Mark V + HotPlate and Line out sound nearly as nice as Mark IV + Recording out :(. Will be shipping my Mark V back next week. I might...

Should get THD Hot Plate 8 Ohm delivered early next week - will compare the sound quality with 4 Ohm version and post my findings.

It's not very easy for Mesa but not impossible, considering that for any warranty work you have to provide a proof of purchase (receipt) from an authorized dealer. They obviously won't see the whole picture, but after a few cases they can easily call a breach of contract and drop offending...

According to the manual: Can't see how the outcome could be different as compared with regular speaker out?

Not meaning to steer the business from sweetwater as they're nice guys, but the initial demand for Mark V has bean falling off pretty rapidly it seems...When I was looking for one three weeks ago, 2 CA dealers had them in stock and one of them (which is an advertiser on this board :wink:)...

Update: finally I had a chance to spend some quality time with Mark V this weekend, tried both suggested approaches and compared it side-by-side with my Mark IV(b). My set-up: Strat/CU24 connected to A/B pedal; both A/B outs connected to the input jacks on Mark IV/V. Then Mark IV recording out...

Thanks a lot for suggestions. I am going to try the mute option first (with a speaker emulator) and the THD HotPlate second. Apparently in my Mark V combo "Mute" output on the back is labeled as "Tuner", but I assume it's the same thing. I liked the sound from the clip, very warm and juicy -...

Hello everybody - this is my first post on this forum. :D I've received my Mark V 1x12 combo last Friday and haven't spent enough time comparing it side-by-side to my Mark IV combo yet. One issue I found thus far, is that Mark V doesn't have silent recording feature that Mark IV has - apparenly...
