It would be nice to see the Mesa guys totally explore and conquer the whole rack vs head thing. The split power supply issue could be solved with a single power supply. They've already discovered the whole capacitance/reactance thing with placement and lead dress (or whatever it is with the...

3rd year, 3rd consecutive post! :lol: I've been wondering about hooking up a pre to a boogie myself, and this dc with graphic comes to mind. In your situation I'm thinking out-of-phase comb filtering. Small signal level produced by the plug in the fx send jack mixed (says 100%, but maybe in...

Oh no. My MkIVa has a removable front cover attached with velcro. They should've kept this on the V. Bummer.

badass

There is a tube buffer stage after the loop on the IV with a 15u cap bypassing the 1k cathode r. I've heard somewhere that the V doesn't have this cap. If so, it's an easy remedy for a tech. The cap provides the lowend. I have a IV, but you know how it is, the grass is always greener on the...

suprised no one mentioned this yet, but you need a big *** mesa v30 cab to plug that bad boy into and the metallica tones will bite your head off. I use a marshall 4x12 with my MkivA and it does the trick. Pentode, simul-class, tweed power. palm mutes that shake the house, feel it in your chest...

all eq knobs are pre distortion and shape the distortion as well as the eq, with the treble being the strongest, then bass, then mids. This is totally atypical from your average amp. Rectos, for example, are the opposite. However, some are starting to catch on to the whole "cut bass early in...

Thick mahogany body, bolt on maple neck with rosewood fretboard, tonepros bridge, 18:1 tuners, emgs built in with battery compartment in the back. Brighter than expected, I have an Ibanez RG that suprisingly can hang with this guitar for meaty chunk. Basswood might be my favorite. Anyways, I had...

Wow, those sound fantastic! I also thought the 50 cal sounded better, but a little knob tweaking and I think the rec would dominate for grind and chunk. Suprised at how good the 50 sounds though. It's like right between the marks and recs, which is what I think Mesa intended.

Recto with a boost in front.

Does fx loop mod utilize a tube stage for gain instead of for the loop, disconnecting the loop? If not, would something like that be feasible on a IIB for added gain? It's missing a tube gain stage the IIC-V have, for the lead ch, correct? BTW, Ozzy's Speak of the Devil is twin IIB combos with a...

You guys have great videos. I was more of a fan of the dual in this case because it cuts better, but in person I bet I would like the punchier feel of the triple more. The different faceplate on the triple looks great too.

I love the Bloodthirst tone. I think it's a bit more punchy and defined than E plague. Just sick beyond sick. Their playing is super tight. I think it's in A#.

Oh, HELL YEAH! Thanks, Chipaudette!!!! And thanks RestlessRocks, sorry for not believing you, you were right. Looking at the Duncan calculator, I can see now about the whole 100Hz-4k area boosted with the bulk of it being the low mids. and I totally missed the "R2" on the bass shift for the...

Thanks, but I think that's incorrect. I've tried the differnent values in the duncan tone stack calculator, and the 750p+250p makes things brighter, not fatter. I believe the mark IV pull fat engages the 2.2u cap in parallel with the .47u in the first stage cathode. Is this incorrect? Mark III...

Yeah, thanks, I forgot about that one, but that has to do with the negative feedback of the power amp, nothing to do with the tone stack in the front of the amp. Unless, of course, that knob engages both functions at the same time. Doubt it. Not a dealbreaker or a cause to stop playing guitar...

I'm really curious, when is the treble shift on the mark iv activated? Meaning, schematically, the 750p cap just above the 250p tr cap/treble pot. I've found that the pull bright on the lead drive knob activates the 4th stage cathode resistor bypass cap, and that's the only "shift" type of pull...

How do stillettos compare in bass next to a DSL (red ch), JVM (od chs), 5150 (red ch), VHT, or other "regular mids" type of amps? Meaning, forget the rectos or ubers low mids for now.

By "boost", I was referring to distortion shaping, not tone shaping. But you meant well, so thanks anyways. :) If you put an eq in the loop, that's tone shaping, if in front of the amp, that's distortion shaping, generally speaking. 80s dudes put mxrs in front of Marshalls too. One of my...
