Welcome to the forum, sir! I like the versatility of Mesa amps too. I have owned Mesas of one type or another for many years. The ones in my signature cover the ground I need now - and even more!

Welcome to the zoo!

This is why when I am trying to dial in something new and I want to keep comparing settings, I record some licks onto a looper and then let the looper drive the setup. I found that when I played a lick, then stopped to change a setting (turn up treble, turn down gain, ... whatever), I would...

Welcome to the zoo!

Glad you were able to figure it out!

I agree with @JustPassingThrough, if the amp is respondingf to nothing on the foots-witch, I would first wonder if something has died or shaken loose in it. Since it light up, the cable is at least (partly) okay.

Welcome to the club!

Do any of the other functions on the foot-switch work? Is the issue limited to channel selection?

Very nice. That whole series of amps was so cool.

Welcome! Cool to hear about the song being used. I'm an older guy too, turning 70 in just a little bit.

Nope. I never made enough money at music for it to be a profession or a job. Even so, music and making music is a large part of my life. I can spend hours relaxing by playing. I can even spend hours toying around with one of my amps, getting different sounds from, even using different pedals...

Nicely done!

Mine has the same "issue", but because I run it through a PS2A, the issue is mitigated. Before I had the PS2 though, it took some fiddling to get it right where I wanted it. Lot's of times I simply used the channel masters to even things out.

The oldest Mark IV manual I have is 13 typed pages. If you prefer not to use zip, I can attach them as 13 jpeg files. Let me know if this helps.

Welcome to the forum! What additional Mesa are you looking to obtain?

Some of their combos are heavy. I have pinched nerves in my back. My Mark IV stays home quite a bit these days. The Nomad 45 is light enough I can still carry it around.

Welcome to the forum! Nice price on the Nomad 100. I have the 45 1x12. Never changed the bubs on mine. I would expect they are nothing fancy. My 45 is not that heavy. I used it as my grab-and-go amp. I know the 100s are a bit heavier though. What are you liking about it (specifically)?

Welcome! Hope you find the flavor from the Mark vii that suits you best.

@Custom24 , how have you been doing these last few days? Feeling okay?

I use my SG on channel 2 of my Mark IV. Nice sound, very reminiscent of ABB. My LP reacts to channel 3 better that it does to channel 2. For jazzy (with a touch of hair) on the IV, I use channel 1, with the gain pretty much cranked. As a side note, channel 2 picks up where channel 1 leads off.
