Glad to be a new MarkV owner and glad to be back using Mesa . I am really happy with this amp. I have had it five days and know I have barely touched it's abilities. So far so good but I do have a question as I am concerned about an " issue " , please keep in mind my dealer is two hours each...

Well I would say I am done posting here on the mesa site. I did get my purchase that imHo puts my roadking into the storage room along with the rest of the gear I have purchased over the last 30 years. Minus a few ignorant items I sold, like my small box 50 watt marshall. This is my purchase...

Today it started. I read some info then clicked on "view active topics" I got a message, ggrr, I think it was you cannot do that action right now or yet, or it was you cannot search right now or yet. It just happened and I forgot what it said. Anyone else with this happening, it has never...

Either Gibson is working to solve their legal problems before they pop up. It was too late when they were charged with taking the wood from Madacascar, that was imported from Germany. I had mentioned whata crock it was to see gibson anouncing a jimi Hendrix Strat for the holidays. How that...

Maybe I will get an answer here. When vintage 30s were made in the UK they were listed as 70 watts, thus a 4X12 cab used to be listed as 280. Now H&K, B52, and on and on , any with V30s claim the new 260 watts, based on the new made in china version that is listed at 60 watts, thus a 4X12 =s...

Thanks for the input on my question for a midi foot controller. I am cut copying this for those that want a quick view of my findings. Nice unit. It is the size of an effects pedal and very simple. At $109.00 more than I wanted to spend, the closest item I think I...

Just giving my opinion and the Godlyke Power-all Deluxe kit I bought. It is a 2000 m.a. ac-dc converter with a 10 foot ferrite choke cable. Has a 11 output cable to connect to that with spring-loaded right angle connectors, and rubber caps to go on ones you don't use. It also has six other...

I sold my ART midi controller years ago. It was simple, some buttons changed the bank numbers, and there were two on the right end, one to up the saved setting on the processor, and another to lower the number. I have looked around on the websites, either I am missing simular items or they only...

Hi, I tossed this out a bit ago. I am looking for a small box 50 watter, early '70s, late 60s , BUT, other than items replace for upkeep reasons, for ex. no mods, no undone mods, maybe someone has one sitting around. Perhaps the 45 watter or even the 20 watt lead & bass, at this point even a...

I remember an interview with Les Paul. A person said " I have the same Guitar and the same amp, How come I do not sound like you ?" Les answered politely " well because you aren't me " It is somehow perceived if a person buy's a guitar and amp like someone they admire you will sound like them...

WTB: an early 50 watt small box marshall head. If it has had any mods, other than replaced caps/tubes, "upkeep Work" I am not interested. Please read, if it had a master volume mod, but it is now removed and you have a plug in the drill hole, I am not interested. If anyone has one sitting...

I like alot of instruments. Gibson used to be one of my favorites. I still see a few guitars I would like but ever since the screwing they gave me on my $3800.00 Alex Lifeson AL-355, yes the one with the volute in the wrong place, I will never buy a Gibson again. Not that it matters to them...

Hi, I finally found an original "harmonica bridge" made by schaller to put on my "cough" "duck" Gibson Alex Lifeson ES-355 , they have the inserts adjusted by a regular screw head on both sides of the screw. I can screw them all the way from one side to the other , I can screw them until I...

Hi , I have a road king V1 , my first rectifier failed , I turned on the amp and the fuse blew . Put in a new fuse , turned it on again and saw a bright purple color that faded to dead after the fuse blew again , I was trying to turn it off before it blew , I wanted to find out what tube was...

I am sure V5 would be the phase inverter . 1-3 "pre-amps" is 4 the reverb "tube"? I have 2 mullard 12AT7s , NOS , can I use one safely in V4 and V5 or only V5 ? I think the 12AT7s have different current values ? Maybe I cannot use them at all ? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to vent. I love my mesa RK I love alot of things Check out Gibsons "customshop" release of the long awaited , " only for Alex fans I would think but it really is a great sounding guitar . BUT BUT This got by me BEFORE I could RETURN it =/ The guitar sounds great , plays great , BUT...
