<---- so jealous.

Ordered during NAMM -- dealer said he hasn't heard anything from Mesa about the heads (he got combos last week) and is guessing June

 

[clintalan]

Let me know what you guys would like to hear and I will record and post.

I will be posting a full walkthrough of the amp later this evening.

Dude! Thank you so much for posting that vid! Not only did I get to hear some metal through the MkV... but I got to see what it'll look like sitting on top of my recto vertical 2x12, and what it can sound like with my own CU24!!

... now if only I could play like you

Looking forward to the full walk through. Thanks again!

Excellent!!!!!! the mark v Heads are out........ thanks for the clip

 

[lesterpaul]

were you on the normal or bright setting?
pentode or triode?
45 watts or 90?
thanks

 

[clintalan]

The Heads are not out just yet.... but very soon.

I'm in the Bright mode Pentode setting, which is very awesome in the Mk II mode, since the original IIC could only operate in Triode.
Full power 90 watts.

how did you get your head ..??we are dyin' to know!
also, a IIC simul ...isnt class A triode, and A/B pentode?
welcome to board

I'm not a super techie guy, But I believe Pentode and triode have to do with how the electrons break up inside of the tube, due to voltage the tube is seeing. Does not have to do with class A or A/B, because in the Road King you can choose to run the EL34's in triode or pentode mode. And the King is A/B wired amp.

Don't fry me if I am wrong.

Try these settings if you can with the IIC+ mode.

Gain. Around 8

Treble. All the way UP.

Mid. 1 or 2

Bass. 1 or 2

Presence. Around 2

TRIODE.

V curve with the EQ. Use the Graphic EQ to shape your overall tone, don't use the knobs. All the treble does past 7 is add gain anyway.

Master and wattage to taste, whatever sounds best in your room.

Pentode and triode refer to how the power tube socket is wired. The Simulclass C+ has the inner pair of tubes wired in pentode and the outer pair wired in triode. The MkIV allows the outer pair to be switched from pentode to triode, which I think is the same as the MkV 90 watt mode.

very very nice. great work, thanks for this...

 

[phyrexia]

does 624 denote the serial number or just some number you decided to throw in there?

 

[clintalan]

624 is the file name, nothing to do with serial number.

 

[Mungo Zen]

This made my night. Thanks, I don't mind waiting when I know this is at the end of the tunnel.

Please, do post some more clips...

 

[nicoroy123]

Clint, thank you for taking the time to share the vid with us!

So, how do you like the head ?

Honestly, is it as good as you expected for metal?

This is the best metal demonstration so far IMO...
