I have been thinking about purchasing a Voodoo Lab Micro-Vibe to back up my Lovepedal Pickle Vibe. I had the Micro-Vibe and Sparkle Drive several years ago but have not owned a Voodoo Lab pedal in a while. I have seen some negative comments about the quality of their footswitches on the web...

Just received my new headshell from Mesa and finished my Mark I makeover. I also included a pic of the Mark IV since it is orange as well. I once thought I would never own an orange amp. Now I have two. Funny how your taste changes with time.

I used to use Rat pedals in the past (before they were made in China and had horrible IC's) and have been considering going in that direction again. I heard somewhere that Catalinbread's Supercharged Overdrive (SCOD) was similar. Has anyone compared the SCOD with a good Rat? Any SCOD users out...

The F-30 combo arrived today and I am very pleased. I plugged into channel 1 first and was instantly reminded of my old Studio Caliber. I think the F-30 cleans have a slightly more round quality, but they are very close to the DC-2. Next, I plugged into channel 2 and was greeted with instant...

I tried out a new-old-stock F-50 today at a local music store and was very impressed. I am thinking about purchasing the amp on Monday or Tuesday but wanted to hear from all of you first. My first impressions were: great reverb, great cleans, and superb sound projection. My wife was waiting in...

Has anyone seen a Mark I (original or reissue) with the "Mesa/Boogie" logo factory installed?

I have been thinking about either purchasing or building another Strat and have a couple of questions about pickups. Has anyone used the Blue/Silver/Red Lace-sensor pickups in a Strat? If so, how do they sound output-wise? I am looking for something that is Strat-like, but darker and hotter. I...

For those that own or have owned both, how does the lead channel on the Dual Caliber series compare to the IIC+? I used to think the Mark IV was the ultimate high-gain amp, but I prefer the lead channel on my DC-2 which sounds a little more loose and fluid to my ears. Actually, the DC-2 sounds...

This is probably going to sound like a stupid question, but which reverb wire on the Mark IV plugs into the jack toward the front of the chassis? I am asking because the tube chart on the inside of the head shows the white wire as facing the front of the chassis and the grey wire facing the...

Has anyone ever used Mojo musical supplies to have an amp recovered? I am thinking about having one of mine recovered but want it to look as close to original as possible. I do not want to do the work myself, and it must look very close to a Mesa factory tolex job. Any suggestions? I had my...

Here are some pictures of my 2001 Mark IV short head. I also included a group shot with my Mark I and Studio Caliber. I am extremely happy with the Mark IV. Having never played one before, I think it sounds very similar to my Studio Caliber. I am running EL34's in the outside sockets and prefer...

My dealer informed me today that the Mark IV is being "replaced" by the Road King. This was the information passed on from the sales rep who also informed my dealer that my Mark IV will NOT be made, after 17 weeks of waiting!! The sales rep offered to "push" the amp through, but would not know...

I am in the market for another Boogie and have been considering a Coliseum amp. Does anyone know what a nice example (Mark IIB or III, can't afford the IIC models) is worth? I heard that these amps had very low overall production numbers, is it something worth investing in? I would appreciate...

Does anyone here know what the actual build time for a Mesa amp is (specifically, Mark IV)? I know the standard line is "six to twelve weeks", but what is the actual build time from the start of the batch to finish? I was told that actual build time is only around three weeks. Any comments? Thanks.

I ordered my Mark IV around January 28th and am still waiting. I was wondering if anyone else has one on order. Does anyone know if Mesa is producing Mark IV's right now? I was told the wait could be up to 12 weeks, so I know I may have to wait a while longer. Any comments???

I am going to be purchasing a new guitar in two weeks, and have been thinking about ordering a Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Strat. I owned two of them several years ago, but have never had the chance to use one with a Boogie. Does anyone here in the forum know how this instrument reacts to the Mark...

Does anyone in the forum use or know how the EVM-12L Classic Reissue speaker stacks up against the originals? I have been reading about the originals and have been thinking about looking into a speaker change, but don't want to do so if it is a waste of time and money. Would an EVM-12L Reissue...

My DC-2 has a "Vintage Black Shadow" 12" speaker in it, the only name I can see on the speaker is Mesa Boogie. Can anyone tell me who the manufacturer is? I have the original catalog and price list for the amp, and I know the DC-3 came with the Vintage 30, but it just lists the DC-2 speaker as...

Today I visited my Mesa dealer in Bakersfield and ordered a new Mark IV short head in Cream Bronco with a Tan Jute Grille. Curiously, my dealer said there was no price increase for the Mark IV in 2008. I was charged $1899 for the head, and $179 for the custom finish. Apparently, the vinyl custom...

Hello, I am new to the forum and am very glad to join. This forum has been a great source of information to me and I look forward to learning more in the future. I purchased my first Boogie two years ago (Stiletto Deuce Stage I), and have since owned a Mark III red stripe short head, a Mark I...
