TGF Official Amp Mesa Boogie Mark series. Join the fun and get one today!

I'm always messing with my guitar volume and tone controls on any channel.
I use Fat if I want a pristine clean, Tweed is nice for hairy clean to edge of breakup.

Tweed is the one I'd like to be able to replicate with a pedal into fat mode.

If I didn’t have the 35 version I’d be very tempted, you could sell it and make out even at that point

Atm my amp is set for Tweed - Crunch - MKIV.

I do use the channel variable power settings and rectifier options, too.

Tweed = Tube Rectifier and 10W Class A.

Crunch = Solid State Rectifier and 45W.

MKIV = Solid State Rectifier and 90W with GEQ.

Still boggles my mind that they crammed this much differentiation in tone and
feel in one single amp chassis. Brilliant!

Tonight at practice I took my Dual Recto and the Mark V. I wanted to try a few combos. The entire band thought that the Mark V sounded a gajillion times better than the Dual Recto. I did too. But it was worth trying out both. It is such a great amp, I genuinely really love it.

It's all of them Mids.

You jest but I think even with the 750hz cratered there’s still more or at least the same amount of mids as on a recto

Bro honestly please exercise these demons and remove temptation

Montrose is about 5hrs from me but a lovely part of the state…. Wouldn’t be the worst trek lol.


The “black shadow” in there is also a rebadged EVM as per the photos so that sweetens the deal even more


My uncle is also retired out in Ridgeway… even closer than paonia! Lol

sheeeit. i wish i could. thats a raging deal, and id honestly LOVE to have a 15 watt setting with a crunch channel and another evm. ridiculous. but also ridiculously redundant i need that like i need a third bunghole.

You’re telling me… have a III, IV, and V and a crab clone to boot…. But man a fully loaded III seems like a nice compliment to my absolute barebones III

OH.. i forgot to mention WRT dialing up the mids high- leave the treble shift OFF. its redundant- but its also a pretty different sound. i only like recording with the mid shift cause its kinda an easy button- but i dont usually use it.

Word, just checked and it looks like I currently have that shift activated. Need to get the III fired up again… likely going to roll it to its first gig in a couple weeks. That said, will still probably running it with the HX stomp Mesa geq model in the loop….. but that’s not to say I can’t still experiment with the mix knob lol

I wasn't jesting this time. 1000% literal.

Nice!!!


I need another amp (especially mark) like I need a hole in my head but I will continue watching … this dudes had it listed for months and keeps dropping the price. I can see the used gear market being a little trickier on the western slope compared to Denver…

One of the more screaming deals I’ve gotten was a dirt cheap JVM half stack, dude was in Farmington, NM and we met half way in del Norte
