    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    If they are going to do a reissue of IIC+ they need to make a reissue of the cabs from that Era. Just a thought.

    Throttle Box EQ in the loop?

    It is too bad Mesa dropped that product. It works really well with amps that lack the 5BGEQ. TC100 for example was a hit. There are other products out there, but they will be different than the Mesa 5BGEQ. Some of them are noisy or may not support the FX loop.

    V90 Ch1 Tweed mode hiss

    The tweed mode shorts out a series resistor (100k, R216) and disconnects a pull-down resistor (475k, R110) with Relay RYM3A before it funnels into V1B, this raises the signal level considerably so there will be more noise floor on that mode. With clean and fat, the 745k pull-down resistor helps...

    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    It all depends on the circuit design if the IIC+ Reissue can support the EL34 in the class A sockets? The Mark V90 was the first amp where Mesa abandoned the use of mixed quads. Mark IV was the intro to pentode/triode on the class A sockets. they also added a screen resistor. That amp could...

    Throttle Box EQ in the loop?

    You may be able to find then on Reverb. Not sure what the status of the Mesa EQ pedal is currently. Nothing indicated it was discontinued, just not available. Manual is still in the active content folder on Mesa's Website. Most of the pedals and such were not transferred from the old website...

    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    As for the IIC+ compatibility with EL34 tubes. depends on the extended class A sockets and their bias points. I did not see any EL34/6L6 bias switch. If they worked out the details with the amp, it may be possible to run EL34 tubes in the extended class A spots. Probably best to get a direct...

    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    The variac note on the EL34 with the Mark V, we can include the same for the MWDR and Roadster (they recommend tube rectification only for EL34). Mostly due to issues with the EL34 and their variants back in the day. Even Marshalls were having issues with the tube quality so they decided to...

    Mark V 90W combo speaker change

    I was fortunate to have a Mark III combo with the EVM12L black shadow speaker. By far that amp was spectacular in many ways. However, the Mark IVB in the wide body format sounded best with the MC90 or the current standard slant front 412 cab with the 60W-V30 speakers. I had and still do have...

    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    I will not be leaving any tracks on the loose. No fudgy fingers either. Usually when you get the leaks before the release it can get messy before you have time to react that it was not GAS but a loaded chamber. :oops:

    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    I will get one for sure. Have one on pre-order now, not just a call back list. Will see how it turns out, hopefully will get it before the end of the year. Much better forecast on shipping than I was told. Must have gotten notes mixed up on the Rev G Recto. I was not all that interested in...

    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    It if turns out to be a turd, the Mark III prices will only go up. The JP2C did not bring down the IIC+ prices. Not expecting that to change much. Even if the IIC+ reissue is really good, Mark III, IIC+ IVA and IVB prices I doubt will drop like the Mark V or others. First time I have seen a...

    Mesa Boogie: Boogie 4x10 cab with the JP2C

    Just for S&G, I wanted to see how the modified 410 cab compared to the Mesa Recto V212. Now that was interesting. I felt they sounded very similar with a difference in midrange content but not much of a major difference. Those Jensen speakers in the open back format have become a rather...

    Mesa Boogie: Boogie 4x10 cab with the JP2C

    Just an update on the Mesa 410 cabs. Decided to modify one of them. I wanted something more suitable for distortion than cleans. The stock 410 cab with the Celestion G10 Cream Back speakers are decent. They will never replace the sound you get from a 12 inch speaker. Even the response is...

    Throttle Box EQ in the loop?

    If you can turn off the throttle-box part it may work but doubt it. That pedal is more or less a front end deal (instrument level only). For the FX loop, the 5BGEQ or equivalents would be what you need. Not sure if the heartbreaker runs at line level or not. It sounds like you overloaded...

    Mark VII or Reissue C+?

    Nice, I see they went for power efficiency with Toroid transformers. I could not find CRAB amplification on the internet. Reverb, I could only find pedals. Curious how it sounds compared to the Mark V90? That amp does look interesting.

    Mark VII or Reissue C+?

    You have any pictures of the CRAB? Tried to look up Crab Amplification and got nothing but Crabs, Hermit or blue, and some recopies on how to cook them. There was one listing for Custom CRAB black and white, Soviet amp ? 🦀 This is as far as I could get.

    Mark VII or Reissue C+?

    No, I jumped on this not too long ago. November 12th. No deposit either. SW said when the amps come in is when they can accept any cash. They are just taking names like when you click on the link to be notified when something is out of stock once it comes in.

    REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

    Well that says a lot about the future of the MWDR. Many thought the Badlander was going to take over. At least that explains the myth about why Mesa has a separate page for the BAD like they do for the TC. Interesting development. I love the MWDR, glad I have one. Maybe I should get...
