This Is The Coolest Amp Ever

[www.lamusic.ca]

Yikes, I bet that comes with a hefty price tag! Nicely done!

 

[PBGas]

That is a beauty of an amp.....!!!!
What great attention to detail!

IN all seriousness.....what is the weight of the thing?

 

[roburado]

What's the difference between full power and tweed power?

Per the Mark IV manual:
Use FULL POWER for maximum volume and clean headroom. TWEED POWER works like a built-in variac, reducing all the internal voltages for a spongy, vintage feeling and an extraordinary "brown sound".

POWER is reduced somewhat too, making it easier to achieve a big overdriven power sound, especially when TWEED POWER is used in conjunction with Class A power...Another virtue of TWEED POWER is that the lowered voltages will greatly extend tube life and overall reliability, while still producing enough pwer to work many of your gigs...and all of your recording sessions!

That is a beauty of an amp.....!!!!
What great attention to detail!

IN all seriousness.....what is the weight of the thing?

Probably about 50 lbs./22.7kg.

I've seen a road king with the same treatment NICE!

 

[Norrin Radd]

That's awesome! I think we should get together and jam!

 

[roburado]

Norrin, do you know what wood was used for your amp?

No. But I'll post some better pics later today and someone knowledgeable will know.

Hey..I went this morning to do some sound clips on the Mark IV, and it was sold....it didn't make it a week....we're going to order more.

I think I might get the MARK IV short head for my live rig....anyone else here using one with an axis???/

Hey Norin, I think it's IMBUYA HARDWOOD - there's a couple on UK fleabay made of that and look 99% the same....

My old Studio 22+ was made of MDF! - but that would be why I sold it - any sound samples of your Booooogieeeee?

...i'd love to have a head/matching cab like that, maybe with some sort of subtle stain

[greenwizard]

Could be Bubinga...
Check this out
Mesa Boogie hardwood custom finishes for guitar and bass amplifiers
It's one of those.

I saw a Road King like that before. Needless to say, I fell to my knees and cried.

 

[JeffreyB]

I was thinking yours was Bubinga....looks exotic...nice!
I can't believe how quick ours sold...I think I'm going to order a head for me today (Merry Christmas...lol)

 

[greenwizard]

^^I fully intend on giving myself a Mesa F50 as a Christmas present!
Unless of course, someone else wants to give me one as a present....
*hint

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Its a very nice piece of work, but for me the finish would get destroyed on the road! One to keep at home or the studio me thinks!

 

[roburado]

Those amps need cases before they hit the road.

 

[adamrogo]

I'll bet the maple adds some brightness to the tone, huh?

 

[JeffreyB]

Actually, It was hard to tell...I didn't have another MARK IV beside it to compare...all I know is that it was a huge, fat, sweet sound on the overdriven and clean sounds...this amp is a pedal killer. All you need is maybe a nice delay and you're set.

My Axis and the 2007LE Albert Lee model we have in the store gets amazing punch....the guy that bought the amp is a PRS player, but he wanted to buy my axis, too. (Sorry, sir....not THIS one) He may end up ordering a Black Cherry Burst Axis super sport (YUMMMMM)
