Yeah I totally agree that Mesa had some strange marketing from that era. I just really don't think the literature does the Maverick justice. It's all this "channel switching is for sissies" and "medium-low gain territory" stuff that makes you think this amp is a blue angel with a second...

Does anyone have the Tube Task Chart for the Maverick? It is included in almost all the other MESA manuals but not in the one for the maverick. You'd think it would be too, since the Mav supposedly has completely separate tubes for each channel. It is a useful tool in diagnosing tube...

That is a really interesting piece of information. Was there a difference in the year each was made? Maybe a revision or something like that?

I want to first point out that we both love this amp, and so I'm not trying to bash it, I'm just trying to provide my opinion on its operation. I totally respect your opinion but I am still going to have to say that the gain is lower COMPARATIVELY than many other amplifiers. I use it mostly...

Slightly loose pickup covers can cause this. I don't know if your guitar has them, but especially cheap pickup covers can vibrate and set off the coils and its a nasty squeal. If you can tap on your pickup's cover and hear a real loud clack through the amp your pickups need to be repotted WITH...

I'm looking for a nomad 55 or nomad 100 combo, preferably a 2x12 but I would also look at a 1x12 wide. I'd like it to be in very good condition. You can post replies or email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

MAVERICK!

Err... Mesa's are pedal friendly. I use quite a few pedals with my setup (maverick). I wouldn't really think of amps in terms of being "pedal friendly" or not, I mean the amp really doesn't care if it has the guitar plugged straight in or effects first, or effects in the loop. It does not...

I haven't gotten to play a 4x10 version, but I have always wondered whether the low end is a bit better than the 2x12. The 4x10 was the most expensive format, so I wondered if Mesa tweaked the amp for that format and that is why the bass is borderline in the 2x12. Just a thought.

I did the same thing back when I had my DC-10. Besides the yellow jackets, and the GT ones you can get some from Ruby Tubes called "Tone Bones". That is actually what I bought. I got mine for $50 a pair. I only bought one pair, and then put it in the low-power position, so when I switched...

Thought I'd shed some light on the earlier post requesting info for the maverick and heartbreaker. Although this is my first post on this board, I have haunted the ezboard boogie forum for many years. I own a 1999 Mesa Maverick 2x12. The maverick was put into the lineup to appeal to "lower...
