I told myself in the beginning of the year that I wouldn't buy any new amps this year. But that didn't last more than a month of course as Mesa announced the JP2C and I had to get it. Sold a few amps (Roadster, Mark V and a Diezel Dmoll) to get it. After getting my JP, and really loving it, I...

Hi guys! So, I was looking over the caps my red stripe Mark III today, since it has developed a hum lately and I thought I would have a look. The caps are probably original, the bigger blue ones are all Mesa labelled. One of them had a small hole in it, so the amp needs new caps. But anyway, I...

Hello everyone! I got some questions for you rack gurus. I´ve been putting together my new rack rig over the last few days and when most of it was connected, and I took it for a test drive, I noticed a pretty bad hum. The rig is quiet until I turn on either the rack mounted dbx compressor...

I got a new Roadster head about a month ago. Sounds great and apart from pops sometimes when changing channels everything worked great. But the last couple of times when rehearsing with my band at quite high volumes, I´ve noticed that when changing channels, the sound dissapears for a second...

Is it out of production? I tried to order one a few days ago from my local guitar shop and at first there seemed to be no problems. The store guy called the swedish Mesa importers and I got the price and expected delivery time. Then on my way home I got a call from the shop, they couldn´t get...

Yeah, Angel Dust is still a great record. I listened to it for the first time in years just a few days ago. Yes, he was usually using Mark III´s when recording and probably live aswell in the beginning. He stated in a interview that he used Mark IV´s live later on with FNM, mainly because it...

I just got my new Mark IV short head! It´s my 3rd one throught he years, and it sounds better than I remember my old ones sounding. Both my earlier ones were the "A" version so this is the first time i´ve played a "B". Sounds amazing! Pure butter on the lead channel, very smooth and sweet...

So, I let a friend borrow my Mark III over the weekend. He played it at a wedding, And it worked fine in the church, but then he wanted to play it some more at the party and it wouldn´t turn on. He called me and I thought the fuse might have blown for some reason. So, today I changed the fuse...

Does anyone have the schematic for the Mark III? Preferably the red stripe. I want to mod my Mark III to the IIC+ like version that Reeko81 did. I have a tech that can do the mod, but he wanted the schematic for the Mark III to help him (I already have the IIC+ schematic). Any help is...

Hello guys! I want to now the differences in sound between a Mark IIB and a Mark III red stripe? I´m most interested in comparisons between the lead channels, but clean sounds are interesting to. I might have the opportunity to buy either of these. Both are hardwood combos and have the eq and...

Hello everyone! This is my first post on this great forum. I gonna buy a new amp this summer. I have sold most of my amps, and I currently own a 2 ch Dual recto and a rack with a Quad preamp/2:90. But I might be selling those too. I was thinking of either getting a new Mark IV head or a new...
