I found it to be a bit to "boxey" sounding. Mesa is really trying to break
nto the blues market dominated by Fender and other custom manufactures..
And the verb is "too" thick. Just my opinion.
A fender Blues deville,BAssman, Tonemaster,vibrolux, has a more open , yet
sweeter sound than the Mesa..

I've been using a Mark IV for many years, and I think it is a great amp.
I got it when my back would no longer put up with my Twin Reverb. But I
think the real winner in the MB line is the Blue Angel (now discontinued),
which I intend to buy once I have no more room in the rack for compressors!
The Blue Angel, in my opinion, does a good Blackface Deluxe Reverb, and
a good AC30. That covers a lot of ground for recording.

hmmm.

i don't get boxy.

but this amp could get just about any sound you want out of it. from
rectifier high gain... to phat bluesy... to crystal clean.... all with a
little Mesa character.

2 channels.... 4 'modes'... modern high gain and blues, vintage high gain
and clean.

all kinds of ways to shape the tone if ya wanna tweak away... ON THE BACK OF
THE HEAD... switch to bold or spongy... vacuum tubes or silicon diodes.

i am happy.
