I'd actually never tried one until I picked up a Mesa Slant Recto 1x12 cab. The cab sounds great with the MarkV25, and also with the Quilter SuperBlock US.

A lot of people like V30s in fender amps because they bring out some of mids that are otherwise scooped from the amp's voicing. That being said, Creambacks are a hugely popular choice too! Let us know how they sound.

When I'm feeling stale, I have taken to throwing myself random challenges. There's a book called Joe Pass Guitar Chords that I pick up from time to time to let in some fresh air. Mick Goodrick's The Advancing Guitarist also contains a lot of cool new things to try. It doesn't have to...

Acoustic Control Corporation G60-112 60 Watts of solid state fury. Great drive channel.

Lol. What century is it where you live? ;-) Even in Canada we know of this. To be clear I am not poking fun at a Marine...we have heard about them as well!

A grail is just a cup. Ultimately it's up to you how to fill it, and with whom to share it. On that basis, there's nothing wrong with trying a few to see which one you prefer.

Agreed. It's ridiculous.

I bought a Mark Five 25 head, thinking it would be able to replace the F50 I sold. It almost does, but..not quite.

Mesa probably owned those trademarks, lol.

I heard a more mundane explanation on TGP.... Peavey has a something-or-other Mark 6, and apparently so does Selmer. So there'd be trademark disputes. Skip the hassle, go straight to 7.

I wonder if they're going too far in terms of complexity. I'd be content with a two channel offering.... Lonestar Clean and Mark IIC+ drive. That's how I've set up my Mark Five 25 anyways. I don't use the 'Crunch', 'Mark 4' or 'Extreme' channels at all.

Shame. I've never had that problem with mine.

Enter The Keeley Compressor Plus. Four knobs, magic in a box.

But why skip it? Seems very odd.

Thanks. I will try that!

It pops when I turn off the main power, regardless of whether it's in standby or not.

Good to see you again.

That's a very familiar combination of profile pic and location. Reminds me of someone...

Maybe it kept exploding in the lab....

Thanks Tavo!

Announced today! It does beg the question as to why they skipped over Mark 6 though... https://www.mesaboogie.com/en-US/Amp/2.MK7.AB/2-MK7-AB

Any of you experienced amp techs out there @TV the Wired Turtle @hcsterg @markeebee want to weigh in? Thanks!

If you can find Gorilla Glue, you may be pleasantly surprised. Easy to work with, cleans up with soap and water, no crazy fumes.

Love the range of usable tones I can get out of this little beast. However, the pop it makes when I turn it off - even in standby mode - is not one of them. What's causing this and how do I eliminate it? Any of you experienced amp techs out there @TV the Wired Turtle @hcsterg @markeebee want to...

I stripped a Mesa F-50 of it's boring black funeral suit and reclad it like this. Lightly sanded the plywood box, watched a few Uncle Doug videos, and put on new tolex. I used Gorilla Glue. Not a perfect effort in the corners, so a bit disappointing, but it was fun. Plus, what's not to like...
