I recently purchased a used Mark III. With brief research, I knew to get the EQ, but the blue stripe combo that I ended up getting is non-simulclass. Am I really missing out on the tones of this amp without the Simulclass???
Thanks.
Thanks.
Here's a settings database:mjberz said:Thank you for your replies. The amp is the 60 Watt combo. I guess doubt grew into my head after reading the Mesa book that came with the amp...mentioning that everyone loves the Simulclass feature.
Still trying to dial in all of the tones...
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

A question I have is equalizing the volume levels between the 3 channels. Rhythm 1 seems to have alot less volume compared to R2 and lead. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also what do you guys normally set your Presence to?

A good place to start is:
Vol 1 : 7
Treble : 7
Bass : 2
Mids : 5
Master : 2 - 3
Lead Drive : 5
Lead Master : 2 - 3
Presence : to taste
Forget any idea that a "neutral" setting is all knobs on 5 and go from there.
The Treble control is the strongest because it's first in line. As a matter of fact, if the Treble is at zero, you get no sound at all. If you run the Treble at 5, the Bass and Mids become stronger and this where the dreaded "flub" starts to rear it's ugly head. Too much Bass, especially when distorted or overdriven, results in a "flubby", "tubby" or indistinct, woofy sound. Use the Graphic to dial back in Bass. It's post-preamp, so it will stay tight.
