Hello,
I'm new to this boeard and alos to mesa/boogie amps, but this morning I randomly tried a used MKII and I took it home for 600€. Non reverb, no eq. The amp's serial number is 4546 and I have some quesions about it:
There are a couple of oddities: first, the hole that says "reverb" and that is pusually plugged on non reverb amps is actually a jack hole. Then on the underside of the chassis there is a rca input. I don't know what they are for. I don't understand how to use the effects loop since I only have two outputs: power amp in slave.
Second concern: I find that the clean channel is very quiet. I would assume that 60W at full blast would be unbearable, but it is, and I'm even afraid that It wouldn't stand up against a drummer. I don't know if it is related, but the output tubes (6L6) run very cold in my opinion, I am actually able to touch them without burning my fingers.
Thank you for your help!!
