New Mesa amp rumor!!

[newfinator]

According to the summer NAMM site Mesa Boogie doesn't have a booth, at least not as of yet, so I guess we can't plan on an announcement there. I hope they let us know soon, especially for those who can't order a Mark IV any more and may start looking elsewhere.

That EB thread reeks of BS...

So if Pettruci loves the MkV so much why wasn't he playing one at the clinic? His endorsement alone could sell all the V's mesa could build for the next year.

He's probably restricted to closed door testing. Mesa wouldn't want something that big to be out in public view.

I don't really understand why so many refuse to believe that a Mark V is inevitable or even possible. I think any hint of limiting or discontinuing the Mark IV would naturally lead to the assumption that a Mark V would be next.

 

[Platypus]

Oh don't misunderstand, I fully believe it's possible and most likely probable.. I'm just saying that thread sounds like complete bullshit to me.

 

[Bourque]

+1 It's very possible, I just don't think the stuff floating around is all that legit.

Just an FYI, but I called Mesa the other day and spoke with Michael Wolf. I asked about the Mark IV being discontinued, and he told me that only the short heads are being discontinued, none of the others. Hope I didn't burst anyones bubble. Nonetheless, I think Mesa might have something up their sleeve for Summer NAMM but the way Michael put it, he said the Mark IV wasn't going away for quite some time.

Then again, if Mesa did have a new product on the horizon I would expect the exact same answer from the factory. i.e. they are not going to give away any info suggesting a new product is coming. Why? Like in all industries they do not want to stall current sales.

Like others have commented, I don't think its really that people don't think it's possible, its more that most posters are just speculating with no facts what-so-ever. i.e. no one actually knows anything, it's all just their opinion.

The Mark V discussion comes up every 6 months when someone posts a "there is something in the works" comment.

Mesa might indeed announce one. Who knows?

 

[Ang3lus]

petrucci himself said there's one in the works
so why not believe Mr God himself ?

 

[Silverwulf]

If there IS a Mark V in the works, Petrucci and Hetfield/Hammett probably have prototypes sitting in their practice spots already.

 

[Nomad]

I enjoy the specualtion.

Its apparent no one knows anything for sure but it gives us something to talk about. :lol:

 

[Monsta-Tone]

:lol: :lol: :lol: 11 pages already! :lol: :lol: :lol:

All I want is a Tremoverb with the LSS Clean channel, no delay in channel switching or Reverb, Solo function and footswitchable EQ.

:lol: I would stop shopping at that point, so that's why it doesn't exist. :lol:

So we've been aware for a while that the MkIV short chassis was to be discontinued. That's a bit confusing since that is the most popular version of the amp and for example on fleabay the shortie heads always bring more than an EV loaded combo. When the MkV does eventually make it to the streets, what if it's only available in a medium head or widebody combo? I've converted all my cabs over to the Boogie sized stuff (19" wide) Theile's in particular. Doesn't make sence.
