That is sweet!


Man, really too bad the VII doesn't have an actual Tweed Mode to match the exterior.

Another (cheaper) option is just to replace the front grill and Boogie badge with the Cali Tweed treatment.

I don't have to decide until Monday.

Opinions? Anyone?

30 years ago, before I upgraded my 50:50 power amp to the 2:90, Mesa sold a mod kit to make the 50:50 more Triaxis friendly.

I had no problem ripping it open, firing up my soldering station and adding / replacing the included caps and resistors.

A head shell swap should be easy-peasy.

Are you that excited you've had a stroke?! Can I have your amp??!

 

[gearJunkie]

OK, set the front panel per Mesa's recommended starting point, plugged in my LP and ...

This thing is loud AF!

Glorious!

 

[TSJMajesty]

Nice!!

So how many Mark VII owners is that here, now? I've lost track...

 

[Warmart]

That's the way to do it, huge congrats!

I know there's this thing called confirmation bias, but the 1x12 open-back + 1x12 Thiele work extremely well together.

Mark IV mode crushes!

forgot it's a work day. More to come ...
