oops double post :roll:

I am a (new) proud owner of a 1979 Mark II-A and I am an effects pedal junkie as well. I'm curious as to what types of effects anyone is using with their Mark Series Mesa Boogies?

The Fetron thing came with the amp but it's not in place, there appears to be a toggle switch next to one of the small tubes. The guy I got it from said that he believed you flipped that switch when you put the fetron in. He didn't know much more about the amp than I do. He got it from his bass...

Thanks for all the great info guys, I'm really feeling good about this amp.

Picked it up last night and so far have only spent a couple hours with it but I'm digging it! The clean is incredible, I'm still working on dialing in the dirty sounds. It came with a "fetron" or something? It has pins on it like a tube but it looks like a small little piece of metal. What does...

Cool, thanks for the info. How would you describe the gain on this model? Sounds like Santana? Journey? I don't mind the lack of verb either, I don't really use it and I have Fender reverb on my other amps. I've always wanted to get one of the older Mesa Boogies :D

I'm looking to probably pick this up tomorrow. How does it look to you Boogie experts? I believe it is a II B? No reverb, no graphic eq, made in 1979. Any info or thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response! So which of the two has the most gain? I will use the amp mostly for single line lead work vs. lots of chords.

I have the ability to pick up either of these very soon but I have to choose which one I want to get. The Mark II is a 1979 1-12 Combo, no EQ, no reverb. It is in pretty good shape for being almost 30 years old. The second amp is a newer Mesa Boogie Maverick 2-12 Combo in really good shape...
