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?
i've whittled my pedals down over the years, to these:
Area 51 Wah.
Barber Tone Press.
Barber Direct Drive SS.
Sweetsound Mofaux vibe.
Boss NS-2.
i may toss the boss, and go with a decimator.
i've used a hundred different pedals, these work very well.
in the effects loop, i use a Yamaha DG stomp for reverb and time delay effects.
i set the level ouput on the yamaha as to not overdrive the input of the effects return, in leiu of having the effects mod done.
works great!
