    Mesa Mark IIC++ JFET Replica

    New project, again and again. :coffee: I want to share with the internet a Mesa Mark IIC++ "Replica", the preamp is really interesting as it's different from other metal amps, how good it sound even with all those stages center-biased (1.5K on the cathode almost everywhere), it's aggressive and...

    Missed my OR15, now I discovered the Invective MH and the Archon50

    I mostly use my AX8 into Ableton and don't gig but from time to time I like to play covers and mix in my Mark V25. I used to have an Orange OR15 combo as a more classic and direct alternative to the Mark V but ultimately sold it. I have been missing and in watching videos in consideration of a...

    Late NPD: Flesh Rot Distortion! And NAD!

    Ok full disclosure, this heavy earth sent the fleshrot to me to demo but my pitiful tiny yt channel is SOOOO beyond anywhere from being monetizable, i do it for fun and the love of pedals. I love video editing and put so much work into it and love sharing it with people who might dig it...

    Mesa Mark V vs Mark Five:35 - Crunch+IV Modes

    On both the Crunch and IV Mode comparisons, the Mark V and Mark Five:35 have identical EQ settings and the volume on each was adjusted so that they were within the same ballpark of one another. For the phone comparisons, the amps were recorded with my phone resting on a window sill across the...

    NAD: Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier Series 1

    Bought a Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier Series 1 yesterday from a nice fellow for a good price! It appears to be in great shape too but it doesn't have a footswitch. I have a Dual Rectifier and a Mini Rectifier but I've never tried a single Rectifier. I was very curious about trying one. Luckily...

    New Cab Day - Mesa Deja Vu Edition

    Remember a while back I bought a Mesa Powerhouse 410, the speakers were dead, and I fixed it up with some replacements? Well, I found it a match, so I can have the whole stack: I only just got it home, so no real comments on it yet. I can tell it's beat up a bit, but everything seems to work...

    One Guitar, 53 Amps! (Les Paul Custom through all my amps...)

    Every once in a while as my amp collection grows, I like to do something a little crazy.... In this past year I got a Gibson Les Paul Custom. It's probably my favorite guitar! I basically wanted to hear how this guitar sounds through my entire amp collection. No clean tones, just one high gain...

    Thoughts on the mesa single recto 50

    Many people hate it for its kinda harsh upper mids but much like V30s im thinking that is a bonus in cutting well in a live mix especially for fast technical stuff. Its kind of like the amp is boosted while still retaining the huge lowend which can be tightened up with a boost with its tone...

    NAD: Mesa Single Rectifier 50w (series 2)

    So i traded some pedals for a series 2 single rec!! So far at low home volumes i think its great! I def see what people mean when they talk about the upper mids thing, guess it just doesnt bother me that much, i find going a little lower in the mids helps smooth it out and when its cranked i...

    These days im thinking itd be awesome to own a 1x12 recto combo for both, the great heavy af tones and an amazing pedal platform! (thinking used, $1500 give or take or under) Great for home playing and pretty easy to lug around for band practice/etc. What are all the different recto 1x12...

    4x12 vs 2x12 in home studio!

    Hello! I'm a proud owner of an ENGL Invader 1 amp that I use to play cleans, crunch stuff but most important, METAL! I am a djent type of player (progressive metal, downtuned stuff) and I love tight distortions with boosters in front for some added clarity. This is exactly the tone I get with...

    Sad cab day - help me troubleshoot speaker noise!

    A bunch of you have probably seen me post a whole bunch about bass stuff recently, including the Mesa 4x10 I picked up. The tl;dr version is that one of the speakers (top left) is making a kind of papery/crunchy sound (it sounds more like electrical noise than distortion to me), but only when...

    Anyone familiar with Mesa Powerhouse 4x10?

    While poking around some used ads, I came across a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 for 500 Canadian loonies, and I'm considering going to grab it. I thiiiiiiink it's the more recent "modern" version (I keep reading about there being three different versions of these). From what I can find from googling...
