New Mesa Mark amp coming?

[JiveTurkey]

So someone was posting at the FAS forum about amp in the room, etc. They mentioned they have a Mesa Mark VI on order. Which obviously is a newer model.

Axe-FX III with Real cab vs. the Real thing

First off I love the Axe-Fx III, and have no plans of selling it. The reason for this poll is I have a Mesa Mark VI and Mesa 2x12 cab on order which is going to run me about 4k (store credit from trading in guitars), and I am wondering if I am making a big mistake and I won't even notice or...

They mentioned the price point being around $4k for the head and 2x12. Will be interesting to see what happens! I would love to take another trip to Boogie town with their modern feature set

I'll believe it when I see it. Wonder if it's like Randall Smith's last design before retirement or something.

 

[JiveTurkey]

In all honesty; I am not sure what it would bring to the table that the JP IIC+ I had for a brief period did not. Definitely wasn't the right time for me with it then. Too much desire to tweak without the basic knowlegde on how I need to approach that particular circuit. I LOVE that simul-class power amp though

It will be cool if they go back to IIC+ to IV type of push/pull switch versatility, to me the V seems like it compromised true Mark versatility to accommodate the entire Mark history and other British type of tones.

I obviously don’t know anything and everything about this, and can neither confirm nor deny anything to anyone.

Yes, I found this odd too, when I owned one for a bit. I'd rather an amp just be it's own thing than a historical collection of things. Cool idea and I get why they were happy/proud to do it, but it didn't work for me, overall.

Put the updated reactive load in the JP-2C and you have a perfect, great sounding, and compact setup.
Mesa usually releases new stuff in early November.

Yeah, I mean, usually.

If I remember right, paisley works for a music store. I’m gonna go open a thread about it on the other forum we’re both members at where hopefully I can convince everyone to harass him until he gives up the goods.

I work in IT, and take pictures.

Tell you what?
