So, I bought the flagship amp. I've never done that before. Do I need a full beard now?
I'm honestly blown away. First impression is that this thing is awesome, jaw-dropping, a near-perfect Mesa amp, and I've only played it at low volumes at home so far. I was able to set up MIDI on it super...

I've been wanting a Mark for a while, and recently cleared out some extra gear (still more to go) in order to pick this up. I really wanted a IIC+, but those are ridiculously expensive, so I ended up with a Mark III...
That sounds like a bandname from the 90s :rofl:
My bassist Jason and I got together this last weekend and customized the faceplate of my Triple Rectifier. I had a few stains and scratches on the chrome and wanted to go for a sleeker, darker look with the shiny light-metal grill still showing...
James and Adam were exceptionally helpful this summer in helping me choose the right gear to get this rig really going. My criteria I set out for was that the rig needed to set up and tear down fast and sound pretty much perfect, meaning I wanted to get the right effects and pedals integrated...
So my Dad just bought a 1981 Mesa/Boogie IIB Coliseum (180-200 Watts), freshly re-tubed and refurbished by MESA.
I plan on making a clean & nice video at some point showcasing this Canon of Sound. It gets really close to the sound of John Sykes on the 87' Whitesnake album. However, he had a...
I apologize guys... I've been meaning to celebrate some new gear with you all sooner!
However, I just haven't had the time and wanted to have footage before sharing.
Without any further, I present the MESA:Boogie Mark V and the EBMM JPX LTD.
Here's some video footage:
Something weird is going...
Hey guys,
Looking for people with experience with both of these amps in a touring situation.
We know ampegs die a lot but we hope the newer ones fixed that issue. The mesa has a history of overheating, not sure if that's fixed in the 2013's.
It will get run hard twice a week at practice and...
Finally some serious possible competition against the Mini Rectifier. I want a Road King so I might switch to the Mini Mark rather than the Mini Rec depending on how much I like it (but it'll take a lot for me to switch :lol:). Also mid-boost on ch. 1 and the built-in cab clone are interesting...
So today I purchased my first cabinet!
A Vintage Mesa/Boogie Cabinet. I do not know the proper name for it...
It has the BlackShadow Speakers.
Here's a video of me playing through it... It was quite a lovely day outside!
Sounds absolutely fantastic! I have heard many great things about the...
Im playing a dual rec solo head with a tube screamer front of my mxr noise gate. I love the tone of the amp but im in search of a more creamy/ saturated tone. Anyone know how i can achieve this? Been thinking of getting a different OD pedal. Tone monk seed of life maybe?

I just pulled the trigger on an immaculate looking 50/50 on Ebay for $400. So I'm back to having a tube amp again :woohoo:
I'll eventually upgrade back to a 2:90, 2:100 or Triple Rec, and my new rig of HD500 and 50/50 isn't quite my Axe FX / 2:90 rig I had 6 months ago, but hey, with the...
Let's get them all in one place. :lol:
A) Should I power the amp off if I switch from bold to spongy on the power section?
B) As above, do I need to power it down if I go from Diode to Recto Tracking?
