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

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

obvs you can season to taste- but you really do get into classic bassman exploder tones without it- and it sounds less like mesa high gain and just more like angry ass vintage amp tone a la steve jones.

i recently pulled the evm outa my iib and put a fane f70 in (still sits on an evm loaded thiele) and that really punts it outa 'that mesa thing' sound! that treble shift is a big part of 'mesa gain'.
 
Speaking of mids, I was looking for a low gain, edge of breakup sound for an intro solo yesterday. Pulled up the clean channel on my C+ and dimed the gain and set all the tone controls near max and and hit it with the bridge pickup in my Anderson, an H1 (moderately high output). Got me close, but a bit woofy and a bit too much high end. Turned on the graphic and lowered the 80 and 6600 and boosted the 750 and it was heavenly. I don’t call for that type of tone often, but nice to know that amp can get it.
 
Am I too late to join the party?
