I----- HAVE A MESA!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a III and IV and between them I don't think I'll ever be needing another. A little bit of agro to trouble shoot until you study the circuit. They both sound different, so congrats on your acquisition
 
The heads are easy to carry, I have 3 separate cabs , one closed back Thiel w/ two open backs so I can play out with … with … Three 12" spkr cabnets or a 4x12 which can fit inside a marshall 4x12, but weights 2x/3x more than marshall, so that's a bad point, very bad …. but, they don't offer it anymore, when they did you had a choice of using it 1/2 & 1/2, another words, the 2 bottom pair of 12's are closed back while the top pair can be open back OR closed back depending on what you want to hear and the acoustics of the room your in. Another feature is the silent recording knob, just pull it out w/ a speaker connected, of course, and record direct into whatever your recording with, silently! Now the clincher, whenever I played out w/ a couple of Voxen, and that was usually, I always had a boogie on stage, ready the be plugged into just in case a Vox failed, they do run very hot, balls to the wall, so to speak. Lest you change the bias resistor but I don't since I like to run them on the edge of stability, like their owner! :popcorn: If you run Mullard EL84's the tubes last 40 years or so, new production 84's barely make it a year even if you order sets matched w/ a low current draw :poo:
 
Yep, There are lots in old amps … and their fine, in fact so fine a lot of vintage goodies have their 1 st set of tubes in em and there still holding on especially mullard rectifier tubes
 
You have "models" of all the mesas.......
wait-- does it HAVE the F30?
or the Walkabout Bass ?

hhhmmmm--- does it??????

I may have...there are a TON. If I still had the Kemper I could just model your Mesa and have it too...and yes they sound so close I'd never notice.
