    Tell me about the Mesa Mark IV

    The answer to this will depend on who you ask. I predict the discussion that’s going to follow will include the following: 1) There’s no material difference. 2) The A is way better. 3) The B is way better. 4) The rare transitional A/B is the best of the best. 5) There’s no such thing as...

    DIEZEL VH4 review by Johan Segeborn

    Just checked - mine’s a 2022. So I guess the new revision has been in play since at least then.

    DIEZEL VH4 review by Johan Segeborn

    I’ve got a 2021 (I think) - it definitely seems brighter and less compressed than many of the VH4s I’ve heard online

    Mezzabarba Apocalypse 200 vs Mesaboogie IIC+ : Clash of the titans !

    I don’t know about that. I’ve always been concerned my neighbours can’t fully appreciate all the nuances of my drop D chugging. This amp might be the answer….

    $4500 Nash relic'd Tokai AFD LP.

    Since getting a heavily played ‘73 LP with real lacquer cracking, a lot of these relic jobs just seem OTT to me when it comes to the lacquer cracks. That said, I did have a CS Fender Strat once with a “journey man” relic job that was actually really good…

    Bogner Helios*issue*

    Probably not the issue at all, but I had some weird swirling stuff happening on one of my amps a while back and it was because the power cable wasn’t pressed all the way into the back of the amp. It was only slightly out, so the amp powered up as normal etc, so I didn’t realise what was causing...

    NAD C+ DRG Now with quick video

    Weird how that happens. Bought a ‘59 Les Paul Reissue from a shop overseas after my Dad died. I opened the case and the serial number is 9 13**. His birthday was September 13. Now I’ve just bought a Bogner 101B from @Catthan. Got it home and realised the serial number is 061947. My Dad was...

    What's your next amp / guitar / pedal?

    I’ve no space left for more gear and even less justification for buying more. That said, if money and space were no object, I’d like to add some of the boutique amps: 1. Ground Zero Rectifier 2. Larry PMM or Dino 3 Hermansson Marshall 4. Headfirst Alta Guitar-wise, just a 90s Explorer in...

    Mr Scary & Hot Mod V2

    I have a Hot Mod V2 in my ‘78 2204. I didn’t find it coloured the tone at all, just gave the amp more juice. My V1B input wire isn’t shielded (it came like that from the factory) so running the preamp knob above 6.5 / 7 creates some noise. Until I get it shielded, I also run an OD808X into the...

    HIGH GAIN BATTLE! Mesa-Boogie Dual Rectifier 1994 Rev G vs 2024 MultiWatt!

    Saw this the other day - good vid. Preferred the G here, but not sure if you could dial them in to sound closer to eachother

    What amps are currently in your stable?

    Yep - Ikea Billy Bookcases. They can hold 30kg / shelf, which amazed me and they’re a great size for heads. The taller bookcase is slightly deeper than the small one - I wanted the extra footprint for stability and I also added the back panel for rigidity. I had to cut holes in it for cables...

    What amps are currently in your stable?

    Jason built it for me back in early 2021. I thought about building it myself, but I didn’t have the skill or the patience to learn ?
