New Mesa Mark amp coming?

[JerEvil]

It's $500 less than a JP-2C.

Where??

 

[paisleywookiee]

Where??

Wait until next month. If you want a JP-2C, buy it now!

Pick up the Resolution album and thank me later. I’ve yet to assault my ears with any Danger Danger music.

Fantastic album.

His stuff pops up on my Apple Music. Groove or Die, Carpe Diem, Super 70s….great player!

You serious?

Gibson can go shove a few Les Pauls (headstock first) up their "Play Authentic" hole.

Oh I believe it. Gotta keep an amp with 2C in the name aspirational.

Shillarific!!!

I feel like I might have missed some good music because I can't bring myself to listen to anything from a guy who was in a band called Danger Danger

Also check out Andy's work with Simon Phillips / Protocol II, III. Great stuff.

Now, what about them coming up with a vastly lighter model, featuring a super-low powered PA and a load? Not that I'd ever want to shell out that much money, but as direct and IEM gigs are becoming more and more common, people may in fact just want to use it without ever driving some real cabs.

That was one of my thoughts regarding picking up the Blackstar St. James. Vastly lighter and has a reactive load.

Paired with the FM9 it should be killer. I haven't tried it with the FM9 yet, only played it clean because I'm evaluating it for Jazz tones but in time I'll see what it can do with a proper multi-effects pedal.

I'm still circling this one. Can't quite bring myself to grab it.

Since this thing has 2 effects loops, could you, or would there be any benefit to: Using both at the same time, using 1 for the left side of a stereo effect, and the other for the right?

No. Even if you can assign both to same channel at same time, the send and return will necessarily be mono - one effects loop sending mono to left input/receiving left output and a second head receiving the right output into it's return would be required.

FWIW i never use the 2nd loop on my road king and I love rack effects and high-end pedals in the loop.

I could see setting up one loop as a post pre boost and second as wet effects, but otherwise, given the switching sophistication of most folks wet effects sections these days...seems a little unnecessary.

 

[TSJMajesty]

That's just like a company to not have the manual available for a new product at the time of the RELEASE OF THE PRODUCT!

'scuse me. We prefer the word 'moist' around here. Moist effects.

I wonder how much of this design is just smashing Mark V and JP2C together? It seems like it has the same huge ass transformers the JP2C might be using. It's just a shame they didn't pick the best parts of each.

It doesn’t have two loops, if you’re talking about the Mark VII.

Which is exactly what this is.
Add to that an opportunity to increase prices.

It's not a conspiracy, it's plain old corporate greed, for some reason the music industry is particularly full of it.
I feel zero shame calling things as I see them, even if it deflates someones GAS and hype.

I am just glad I have a Mark V and this did NOTHING to convince me it is not a superior
amp in every way. And if I want to run direct or record silently there are better options than
the Cab Clone.
