+1. Love my Ironman II and always use it whenever volume might be an issue (rehearsals, gigging, practice, etc..) . I haven't used it for studio recording yet as I can tolerate the volumes when wearing recording headphones. I thought about using the direct out for gigging (instead of mic-ing my...

Thanks for doing that, Ed! Those ghost characters are pretty annoying. Not sure why this possible troll would post in this sticky?! Good to see all you guys again; it's been a while! I've become somewhat of a Marshall devotee, having a 1986 JCM800 as my number one gigging amp. Still have my...

Well-suited for the song!

The Force 12 is not an original speaker. They typically came with Eminence MS-12s or an EVM 12-L "upgrade", both of which sound great with Mark series amps. I run my C+ with an MS-12 in a Mesa 1/2 back cab on top of an EVM 12-L in a Mesa Thiele cab. Not sure if you saw this thread started by...

I know this is late, but board member gts makes cabinets. Try him if you haven't already solved it.

+1. I run an Eminence MS-12 in an open back cab sitting atop an EVM12-L loaded Thiele. My C+ and DC-3 both love them.

I've had two Mark IVs: a wide combo sold for a head for portability. I loved it, but as screamingdaisy mentions, they can be tough to dial-in. My biggest complaint: I'd get a great tone dialed-in today, but tomorrow it would sound meh, so I'd tweak and tweak to get back the tone I loved. I...

Try PM'ing Board member Monsta-Tone (sp?) He knows his way around the DCs.

...when tongues did the talkin'. Click "play hi-fi" and scroll down for lyrics. Rhythm guitar recorded with Strat in to C+ lead channel (delay and reverb only), Lead Drive on 2. Very versatile amp! A good friend recorded three separate lead guitar tracks (never having heard the song) which I...

Appreciation of fine tube amps is something of an acquired taste; once it's understood no substitute will do. Do these kids know what a Hemi 'Cuda is? Can they appreciate it, or is it just a smelly, noisy car?

That might work...I say might because it's a parallel loop. The level or blend pot controls how much of the loop signal is mixed with the dry signal to the output stage. With an effect, you can hear if the loop is working by whether or not you can hear the effect. With a jumper, you might not be...

I found it on eBay. The seller lived near Oneonta, and coincidentally my son had a high school soccer playoff game in Oneonta. He was a neat guy around 60, having worked in the City for many years as a recording engineer for some big names. He won 5 Grammys! I demo'd it for about 20 minutes and...

Good luck! That's a fine looking amp.

+1. Stilettos are really fine amps that can cover A LOT of ground.

Doubtful. This is now at least the third "modern" Mesa amp boasting a C+ replica. There's more to a C+ than just tone; the originals have a certain feel that I've yet to feel in the Mark V line. The replicas sound great, but to me they feel stiffer and more sterile than the originals. I...

I have an original footswitch, and when the led blew, the switch for that function stopped working. As riku asked, which footswitch do you have?

If I were you I'd give it a shot. It might help you nail down the source of the problem...

There ya go, stunning! Great work! I really like the tan handle too.

No worries; sorry if it came across as a jab at you. I was criticizing Eurotubes, very knowledgeable tube dealers who really know their stuff and who have helped me several times in the past. It just surprises me that such knowledgeable people would publish such inaccuracies, especially when...
