    Any other Mesa Mark IV users out there?

    I really love my Mark IV. I've had it for nearly 3 years now, and it does what I need very well. I recently put EL34s in the outside sockets of my Mark IV. I really love the way it sounds now. It has a more British tone, just like Mesa claimed it would with the EL34s.

    Another Stupid String Thread

    I spent about a month using Rotosound 10s on my R9. They sounded OK, but they went dead real fast. Using the 10s made my left had hurt. Need less to say, I've gone back to my old favorite Ernie Ball Super Slinkys. I've tried just about everything out there, except Snake Oils and I always come...

    New Mesa Mark IV - Yee Haw

    I got my Mesa Boogie Mark IV yesterday. :duke I've waited for years to get a Mesa, and now I have one. It doesn't seem as complicated as folks have said, although I am one of those oddballs who reads the manual.
