Why can’t Mesa…

[EOengineer]

…just build the Mark Series we want, no..we need!!

This is everything I want from Mesa:
- 3 Mark inspired channels w/independent controls. Both drive controls, lose the mid knob if there’s no room…barely does anything anyway
- Channel 1 - Mark IIB with a front panel switch for clean or lead channel.
- Channel 2 - Mark IIC+ with same knob and switch arrangement as Ch 1 plus a switch to kill negative feedback for us crazy MFs who go more modern.
- Channel 3 - Mark IIC+ again. Hi! This one dumps the clean/lead switch and replaces it with a IIC/IIC++ switch, also has the option to drop negative feedback.
- GEQ assignable per channel or footswitchable.
- Assignable and footswitchable FX loop with full circuit bypass option on amps back panel.
- Simul Class power.


Seriously. None of the dumb stuff Mesa. We mean it!
- no putting the only 2 sounds we care about on 1 switch on one channel so we have to choose.
- no stupid parallel loop
- no basing the IIC+ on some weird ass variant nobody famous played or cared about
- no trying to make it sound like a Recto or a Marshall. You’re a hot-rodded Fender. You’ve always been. Deal with it.
- use the best transformers you can find to try to get back to some of that pre 93 magic we had in the earlier amps.


We good. Ship it.

Sounds cool.

I just want them to put less stuff on the front panel lol. Less is more... I'm not flying a plane here... k.i.s.s.

Hear that Cesar?
With Gibson ownership really curious to see where they’ll be in 2-5 years.

Man, you guys are gonna be really disappointed with what comes next.

What did that one guy say from NDSP? “Soon”?

I get that this is a "hot take", and that I'm very early in the honeymoon stage with the VII head, but so far I think it's an awesome sounding and feeling amp, love it. Was able to get what I want out of it in literally 10 minutes (less time than it took to plug in the damn IEC cable ). More to come in my NAD thread.

Oh, and MIIB is . Spent most of my time on it, which was unexpected.

FTFY

Oh, and everything they took away from the V, was nothing I used. But I'm using up prime NAD material here!

Trying not to be pessimistic, but I doubt we’ll see anything innovative from them. If their recent Gibson amplifier releases are any indication, they’ll likely do a few of re-issues and then jump on the Marshall lifestyle product bandwagon.

Mesa Dual Rec Fridge incoming!

 

[norminal]

I’d like to see an updated Tri-Axis with a greatest hits of all the later Mesa amps, including Mark V, Rectos, etc., polished UI, and all the modern features like power amp simulation, IR loader, etc.

Mesa Dual Rec Fridge incoming!

Instead of stainless steel, it’ll be diamond plate.

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Instead of stainless steel, it’ll be diamond plate.

Well doy!!!!

 

[likitlikeyoulikeit]

Instead of stainless steel, it’ll be diamond plate.

It will also be "Hand Wired"

 

[paisleywookiee]

Instead of stainless steel, it’ll be diamond plate.

I’d probably buy one.
