Very nice indeed. Though those Orange cabs are a bitch to move regularly - unbelievably solid though which is why.

The cab is heavy as shit. It weighs more than half of what i weigh. I think they makes me the only boogie owner on this board? This amp sounds amazing, and not just for metal/shred.

Demoooo, i wanna see you shred the shit out of this!

I would totally rock a Mesa to get those "some girls era keef tonez" with my tele.

I loved the Mark III Boogie I played a while ago, they cost a lot though.

there are other Mesa owners here (Grant comes to mind and I have owned them though no longer)
Nice one though.
Mesa's are great amps, they just got a bad rap from all the bad MTV/VH1 New MEtal bands who went with the whole PRS/Mesa rig cause it looked cool then played shitty music through them. Neither PRS or Mesa makes bad equipment... There are just as many wankers playing a tele through a deluxe as a PRS through a Mesa.
Nice one though.

I like Mesa amps, just not the rectifier series which is what all the bands you're talking about use.mickie08 wrote:there are other Mesa owners here (Grant comes to mind and I have owned them though no longer)

Lol, well i definitely need a mic and a recording device since i ditched the jamvox. The mic is overloaded so much it has an almost chorus effect. I used the mark IV mode with the v shape EQ. I'll suppose youll wanna see a cam shot of the amp as well.

Don't know what came over me 
I think, as Billy mentioned, that Mesas get a bad image because of the rectifiers. My old boss lent me his Studio 22 once and it was a REALLY nice amp.

I used to talk mad shit about "mesa double rectum-fryers" in the '90s... I really had no choice though, all the nu-metal berks were using them while slagging off Marshalls for being "hair metal amps"...at the time we had a turn of phrase for that: "um, hello??"
It was like the pot calling the kettle black, except the pot was also rockin' white guy dreadlocks, costume contact lenses and eyebrow piercings while the kettle had just resigned to finally getting a short haircut and trying pants that didn't constrict the bollocks for the first time.
For my "first real amp" (that meant a tube one) I was pining for a blonde Boogie Subway Blues for the better part of 2 years.

super jealous of this new set up JJ, bet it sounds sweet as.

Guitarist in my old band played an ESP Children Of Bodem V through this exact mesa head. Only after the fact do I realize how METALZ it must seem in practice, but it sounded pretty good, if bit too gainy due to the guitar in question.

Would like to hear.

If I could afford a Mark V combo I'd adore one, such a versatile tool. Alas skint teenage hood isn't conducive to purchasing Boogie amplifiers.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the rectifier series. I would love a road king or roadster. For me the creamy gain and amazing sustain at reasonable volumes was the reason why i went with the mark V.

I've always wanted to play one of the MarkIV or MarkV amps to see what it's all about.

What ever you do, don't even touch a Nomad. uuuuugh

I have an f50, pretty versatile workhorse IMO.
One om the guitarists from birthday boys uses a mk series amp and gets great tone, and John squire used one as well.
