Perhaps I missed the memo ... but the screen format seems to be different. Plus, the option to jump to the "next topic" is no longer available. Did I in fact miss something? Or, is there a setting I have somehow messed up? Anyone else experiencing this?

I have switched to using my TA-30 1x12 combo in church. Gotta say, it works like a champ. Channel 1 in Top Boost mode (40w) is where I spend a good deal of time. The amp is a blast to play. Chording gets some excellent tones. Single note runs give excellent response. For additional dirt, I put...

I have always loved the look of quilted maple. My mouth has drooled each time I see a Mesa combo decked out in it. For years I have wanted to one own a combo made from quilted maple. My brother heard me talking about it and decided to make one for me - provided I bought the wood and supplies. He...

I have a Mark IVb combo that is my main amp. I have had it for a number of years and love it. Been a Mesa fan and customer since the Son of Boogie came out. Ordered one of them when I saw them. My main guitar through the Mark IV is a Gibson SG (middle 70s). Out of curiosity, what settings...

I did some adjustments to my setup with my Mark IV. I found it interesting and fun to use. And, with the recent rise in the number of threads associated with the Mark IV, I thought I would share it with everyone else. Here is what I have done: I plug my guitar into my Effectrode Blackbird. The...

I played through my Mesa Nomad 45 for a while Saturday after work. The amp played fine - no issues at all. After church on Sunday I decided to play some more. The amp powered up (lights came on and so forth), but nothing came out of the speaker. I looked around back, and the EL84s did not seem...

Hi, I want to change the grill cloth on my Nomad 45 1x12. It is currently the default Mesa 'Basic Black' grill. While the black looks okay, I just want to give it some variety. I have been looking at a lot of places online and have found a few that look promising. I think they would both look...

Most of the playing that I do nowadays is for our group at church. We play during the service. And, some of us meet to form a separate group through which we present originals that we have written. For a while, I was lugging my Mark IV back and forth, and using it to play through. I love what...

Hey, I was noodling around earlier and came across a pretty decent setting on my Mark IV. Thought I might share it with you all in case someone was interested. I was playing my LP and using the bridge pickup. Volume was all the way up, tone was turned all the way down. My Mark IV settings: - I...

I have a Mark-IV that was tubed with Eurotubes (2 EL34s and 2 6L6s). A while back I found a quartet of EL34s and one of 6L6s on sale - so I bought them. This was before I understood Mesa's used of fixed bias. I have no idea if either set is 'approved' for Mark-IV use. I now know that you are not...

I am looking for something that I can take to church and leave for when I need it. Right now I am carrying my MarkIV widebody back and forth. I have done a good bit of reading on both the Nomad-45 and the DC-3. On paper, they both sound pretty nice. And they both sound like they could do what I...

I have always heard and read about the tone controls being pre-gain. So, I was playing around today trying to see exactly how much range I had in each control. On the R2 channel, I turned down its treble to zero, and then the shared bass and middle to zero. I was somewhat surprised when I still...
