    Building a Half Back For A Half Open Mesa 4X12

    Hi everyone. I recently acquired a half open Mesa 4X12. Great cabinet, but I may want to close the top portion. Mesa does not sell or make the half back for the top. I am wondering if any custom builders or companies would do something like this? Thanks, Jeff

    Determining Speakers For Old Half Back Metal Grill 4X12

    It turns out that, regardless of what the back plate says, these aren't Eminence speakers at all. When I took the bottom half off, the cabinet has EVM 12Ls in it. I believe these are the 200 watt Electro Voice speakers. No wonder when I plugged in my Mark IV it almost ripped my head off...

    Black Shadow VS-12 50 Watt Opinions

    I had a chance to get the cab down stairs and use it with the Mark IV. The Mark sounded great with my Friedman cab, but sound amazing with the Mesa cabinet. I still need to pop it open to see what speakers are in the bottom but the cabinet didn't seem mellow or subdued! It darn near ripped...

    Black Shadow VS-12 50 Watt Opinions

    I appreciate the feedback guys. I actually did just buy the cabinet and a Mark IV, they were a package deal. I have not tried the Mark IV through the Mesa cabinet yet (I need help getting it to my basement) but did run it through my Friedman 4X12 which is a great cabinet and HOLY COW. It just...

    Black Shadow VS-12 50 Watt Opinions

    Hey folks. I had another thread on a cabinet I'm looking at so I apologize if this is a bit redundant. This one is more about the speakers =D. The cabinet is a half back metal grill with C90s on top and most likely the VS-12 50 watt on the bottom. I play a ton of hard rock and metal...

    Mark V 35 Mark IV Mode vs. Mark IV

    I own a Mark V 35 and LOVE the amp. I am considering buying a full size Mark IV too. How different tone wise is the IV mode on the 35 from a full blow Mark IV? I don't want to have redundant amps. Not only do I love the Mark IV mode on my 35, I also loved the Lead 2 Red on my Triaxis (no...

    Couldn't get a good sound until..

    For a little bit I thought my Dual (have the Multi Watt) seemed to have more thump and just sound better with the loop bypassed. However, as I tweaked the EQ, FX send and G Major 2 levels, I have been finding that it makes little difference whether its bypassed or not. (Using the bypass on the...

    Mark V 25/Rectoverb 25 with oversized 4x12

    Not a Mark V 25/Rectoverb 25 but I run my regular Mini Recto through an over sized 4X12 straight cabinet with V30s. Not flabby at all. Tight, punchy and overall it sounds great.

    Mark V 25 vs. Mini Recto From a Noise Perspective

    Thanks for your response! What's been a fun side effect is that I really never played my Mini Recto with the loop bypassed. The amp definitely has a different vibe and tone that way and sounds very good.

    Mark V 25 vs. Mini Recto From a Noise Perspective

    Is the Mark V 25 with the effects loop as noisy as the Mini Recto with the effects loop? I know the deal with the mini recto (lots of threads, etc.) and tried many tubes and it appears that's just how it is. While I can deal with it, and stick a gate in the loop, I wonder if the Mark V 25 is...

    TriAxis/2:Ninety - I must be weird.

    I always felt that by running my processor through the Tri's effects loop that all my effects sounded better. (Tri, send to Processor, return from Processor, Tri to Power Amp) I've tried Tri to Processor to Power Amp, but that always sounded horrible.

    Rectifier Reborn vs. Triaxis

    I've had my Triaxis/2:90 set up for a long time now. I love the tones I get and last year I got the fat mod removed from the Tri which made it even better. However I'm...bored, restless, lol I don't know. I've heard great things about the Rectifier reborn (multi-watt) and am considering...

    New vs. Old Mesa 2X12 Vertical Cabinets

    So I have the opportunity to buy an older Mesa Vertical 2X12. It has the metal grill, Black Shadow on top and Vintage 30 on the bottom. The top is closed off but I can open it again. I'm not sure if I should jump on this or wait to find a newer Vertical 2X12 with all Vintage 30s. What are...
