Scored this export model for a mere $1k! Using a step up transformer right now, but from what I've seen from schematics the exports have multiple taps? So getting in touch with some local techs to see whats up. Serious steal though!

Hey all, I've been going through a saga of trying to score this Mark IVb combo, went to test/purchase on saturday, powered on but wasn't getting any sound. Long story short the fellow was european and not a musician, and after poking around I realized that it was a 240v export model (I'm in the...

I posted an inquiry thread but realized I didn't do a proper NAD! Been out of the mesa family for about 7 months so happy to be back in I've wanted one of these since I was 17. Just as epic as I remember. Had one full band practice so far, sounds amazing just plug in play I'm excited to get...

Hello all, just got a roadster. Absolutely love the tones out of it, but I’m running into a peculiar “issue” with my looper. Myself and my bass player both use rc-500 loopers and do quite a bit of live looping. I run my rc-500 as the very last pedal in my fx loop chain. I’ve noticed that when...

Last week I traded my rectoverb 50 combo for this 5:50+. Super happy that I did. I loved the distortion on the ROV but the cleans completely fell apart at band volume. The clean channel on this express is simply breathtaking! Loud, powerful, gorgeous, lush, all the buzz words. I also think this...

Hey all, I've recently been using a Rectoverb 50. I really love the amp especially channel 2. My only complaint is that I'm struggling to maintain clean headroom when playing with the band. Cleans sound great playing by myself but when things get cooking I can't maintain an actual clean sound...

Last week I got a rectoverb 50 combo used from GC. Was shipped great, tubes removed individually wrapped etc. Fired everything up when I got it and instantly fell in love, worked for several days with no issue. Today on my lunch break I wanted to just hear that glorious tone for a moment, but...

Let me preface this by saying I am not normally a boost guy period, and especially not with the Mark V, but a recent purchase of mine has changed that. I recently got the Xotic BB Preamp with the Midboost knob, and I have to say, its like there is some sort of magic synergy between this pedal...

Well I have a Line 6 M9 fx unit (really a great unit btw, I was weary at first because of the company, but once I got it that was all brushed away) and it works great, and seems to have overal very little noticeable tone suck. However, I have noticed that when I have the FX activated and the...

In addition to DT and LoG, Cannibal Corpse and Between the Buried and Me are using Mark V's on the road now I guess http://mesaboogie.com/news/2010/05/mesa-artist-endorsee-springsummer-2010-touring/#more-86 Cool to see more bands using this awesome amp! And people say the Mark V doesn't have...

Really low volume, and the sound quality isn't the greatest, but ya'll can get the idea. Sounds great even at whisper volumes :twisted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k4FeJ09iuU

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to run powertubes besides 6l6s and el34s in the mark v. I guess the two most important questions would be, 1) would KT tubes even fit with the spacing in there, and 2) I would assume that KT77s would be safe to run with the bias set to el34, but how about...

Hey, I wasn't quite clear from the manual on this, but I am curious, can you run a cable out from the slave out into a mixer to go to the FOH? Thanks

Hey all, I have an ISP Noise decimator pedal, and have been having some difficulties optimizing silent running at stage levels. Compared to my ENGL, the mark V is amazing silent without any noise gating, but there is still some very noticeable noise when I am not playing. Running the decimator...

Hey all, I know you can special order custom tolex options and such when you are first getting the amp, but does Mesa Boogie accept one of their amps being sent to them to have the mod the aesthetics post purchase? I am interested in possibly having such a thing done to my mark V, and I was...

Hey all, my name's Tom. I just recently got me a Mark V so I decided to register up here. I traded my ENGL Steve Morse for this thing, and I am absolutely loving it. This is my favorite amp that I have yet to own, here are some pics of my mesa and my other gear
