REISSUE Rumor: Mark IIC+ and 2ch Recto

[Theresa]

Well, ****... the indicator lamp is the wrong color! Where is the SUS-4? EVM-12L option?? Even the fan location is wrong! If they're missing the obvious, what do you think they're going to further miss???

I believe that the reissue is coming but I am prepared to believe that this is a fake, unless they are shipping them all with import transformers with the selector removed. (I may be wrong, but that is totally what it looks like at a glance).

The original simulclass amps allowed for a mix of 6L6 and EL34 at the same time and that contributes to the famous sound. Are these modern versions not really the OG simulclass if they are 6L6-only?

1: Only the well heeled and well connected will EVER get a chance to buy one of these from Mesa. At the very minimum, I expect nobody who isn't at the level of a social media influencer to be given a chance to make a deposit for one. I'm a nobody, and will never be presented with that opportunity. But I would, today, if given the opportunity.

But how much does getting it straight from Mesa matter.

Kingsnakes were a limited run and I got one used for $1400 on Craigslist a year or so after they came out. After it turns out that it - any it - doesn’t actually make you play any better or sound all That different than a number of other amps l’m pretty sure there will be a subsequent wave of sales, just keep your eyes open.

It's going to be a production amp so I'm sure everyone will have a chance at one.

They will most likely not allow running EL34's and 6L6's together. Think they will be akin the VII's and JPMC's.

I realize that I expressed skepticism about the images themselves, and I'm very prepared to be wrong about this, but if they've got the switch, I'm guessing they're going to go all in on it.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the '61 SG reissue Gibson did last year was hand-wired. They tend to take these things pretty seriously.

all wild speculation on my part in any case.

Well I for one am really looking forward to what it sounds like. The fact that they didn't implement the SimulClass el34/6L6 feature and especially not offering an EVM 12L is a bit surprising... but heck so much more of it appears to be there.

So "IF" it sounds fairly close to the original, there's surely going to be a market for it. It's expensive yea, but TBH not really considering where some of the other Mesas are priced these days. I'm happy to see others get a chance to experience a very cool unique amp. Also it's perfect for those who want to gig a IIC+ without the concern of hauling a prized possession around. It will be serviced like all the other current models and you're not subject to unobtanium parts ie: Vactec.

Aha. I missed the product description post entirely. Wups.
