Re: Mesa Boogie Mark IV, talk about it!!!

The new Express Series are nice amps, but they are NOT Mark IVs. The preamp is much more flexible in the Mark IV, as is the power amp. The advantage of the Express is its ability to get a variety of tones relatively quickly. The Mark IV offers a level of sophistication that makes it truly a dream amp--but you have to be willing to master a steep learning curve to get to all the places this amp will go.

Isn't the Express one or two channels?

The Roadster may be an option if you find one used.

I haven't played one but I do find all Rectifier type amps need to be up pretty loud to get rid of the fizz in the upper mids and treble. Problem with those amps is I prefer EL34s for gain and that kills the clean.
