Hey All, I've been having a difficult time troubleshooting an issue I've been having with my Mark V head. I've done some searches here and on the net but haven't had much luck. I've already talked to a tech at Mesa in Petaluma but he wasn't able to offer much guidance other than suggesting...

So I was filling out the warranty card for my new Mesa Mark V head and realized that I couldn't find the serial number anywhere on the head. I used the serial number from the hang tag but I'd still like to know where it is on the head. I even Googled images of the rear side of the Mark V head...

Well just about 8 weeks to the day since I ordered it, my new Mesa/Boogie Mark V head arrived today! :mrgreen: Below are a couple of cell phone pics I snapped right after I pulled it out of the box. You'll notice that I ordered it with the "Mesa Engineering" logo centered on the grill rather...

I've seen the topic come up from time to time as to why Mesa doesn't include reverb on the Stilettos. Seems to me that with the Mark Series and the Rectos recently getting a face lift, that the Stilettos might be next in line. I could only assume/hope that might include the addition of reverb...

I ordered my Mesa Mark V a little over a month ago and I was wondering what type of power and preamp tubes Mesa is using in their amps now. Are the pre amp tubes JJ's? Are the power amp tubes Chinese or Russian? What is everyone's overall opinion of the stock compliment of tubes? I've had...

After several trips to my pusher over the last few months, I decided to pull the trigger on a Mark V head. I wasn't originally looking for a new amp (I own a Dual Recto and a Roadster and love them both), I just wanted to play through a Mark V more out of curiosity than anything. I played a...

After 11 months of waiting, I finally received the PRS Custom 24 Rosewood I ordered. It has a solid East Indian rosewood neck and came with a one-peice quilt 10-top which is rare (you can't specify a one-piece top when you order). This guitar sounds as good as it looks!

Can anyone confirm, what, if any, price increases we might expect from Mesa/Boogie after NAMM? I was at my dealer the other day and he said that prices will go up, but he didn't know specifically by how much. Anyone in the know happen to have any idea? I was thinking of ordering a custom...

So I've been doing some reading up on preamp tubes as I'm ready to replace them in my DR. I read about the differences with the Chinese vs. the Russian preamp tubes in the cathode follower position, the sp12ax7, etc. I called Mesa yesterday and spoke with Michael to order new tubes. I asked...

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a PRS Custom 24 with a solid Indian rosewood neck that I ordered in January. Don't get me started about the wait time, but I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience playing a guitar with a solid rosewood neck through their Recto's. I own both...

So I keep hearing about the sp12ax7 that ships from the factory with new Recto's in the V1 position. Apparently it has heat shrink on it so you can notice the difference visually between it and a standard 12ax7. When I went to replace the preamp tubes on my '02 DR, it did not have a sp12ax7 in...

With a few new members acquiring Roadsters, as well as long-time members doing the same, I figured I would start a Roadster appreciation thread with a few pics and my settings. For those who own a Roadster or have played one, you know there are several ways to skin a cat with this amp. After...

....and if so, what settings do you use? I know that Brit mode is more effective on the Road King II with the EL34's, but there has to be a useful situation for the Brit mode on the Roadster. Right now I've been using the Brit mode as kind of a low-gain setting. I play in a cover band and I...

Well, I just ordered a quad of GT6L6-R2's from "Darren Riley's Guitar and Amp Shop" (I just Googled GT6L6-R2 and that's who came up...couldn't find them on Musicians Friend or any of the other big stores) so I'll give a report when I get them in. I ordered them in a #5 power rating. Why in the...

I got this just over a month ago and it's probably time I posted some pics! It only took 3 months to get from the time I ordered it (which is extremely good considering PRS' backlog on orders and it's a new model). For those of you who don't know much about the new Singlecuts, this is...

Hey everyone, My band Siege is starting to play out again with our new singer. We're a hard-rock cover band playing in the Denver, CO area. If you live in the area or will be visiting, you can check out our show calendar at our site. Hope to see some of you soon...

I'm looking to pull the trigger on a PRS Singlecut in the next couple of months and wanted to get some input from you guys who own them or have played them more than me. I was curious to find out more about how they sound through your recto's or other amps (I own a DR and a Roadster) and what...

Now that winter NAMM is only a few weeks away, I was wondering if anyone had any predictions (or have heard any rumors) regarding new Mesa products. I've heard the buzz going around that the F series amps might go away, but other than that I haven't heard anything significant. I've mentioned...

Has anyone tried the JJ's (either power, preamp, or both) in their Roadster yet? I've heard a few people here say that they like channels 2 and 3 in their Dual Recto's better than channels 3 and 4 in the Roadsters. I'm starting to feel this way a bit, possibly because I have JJ's in my Dual...

I was wondering if any of you have experienced a delay when switching channels on the Roadster (and maybe RKII) when the reverb is off. I already know about the reverb delay when switching channels and that dosn't bother me, but if the reverb is off there is a noticible pause when switching...
