Mesa Boogie Mark IV Combo

Mesa Boogie Mark IV

Legendary in performance, these giant killers continue the legacy which first defined Mesa Boogie. Their compact size, stunning power and ultimate versatility have served legions of proud owners who see the Mark IV as the culmination of guitar amp evolution. The fifty thousand Mark I, II, III and Mark IVs still in active duty are testament to this heritage.

Three Big Sounds...with individual control and total conviction: Rhythm 1 feels bouncy and shimmers with freshness. The Lead mode IS blistering high gain focus. And Rhythm 2 covers that elusive middle ground. This mode alone can produce an alternate Clean, a purring Blues or a grinding Crunch.

All this and the elusive magic of Simul-Class...our patented way of enriching a power section. Think of it as two different power amps working Simul-taneously. One extracts the juice of Class A sweetness while the other delivers the high-power punch of Pentode Class AB.

Available as short or long head, rack mount or in two 1x12 combo sizes: The original Compact combo with front mounted EVM 12L delivers the chimes with clean, tight headroom and focused projection in all modes; whereas the new Wide Body combo with rear mounted Celestion pushes a bigger, looser vintage voice.

Our most popular model ever and winner of numerous awards, the Mark IV is an instrument you will treasure...one that will reward you for the countless hours you've invested and support your musical goals for years to come.

"You know how a great instrument can make you play over your head? The Mark IV gave us this transcendental experience." "It delivers luscious clean tones, intense high-gain saturation, and everything in between." Andy Ellis Guitar Player May 1991

Switching jacks allow external control from any tip-to-ring switch. Remember, the Mark IV is available as a rack-mount unit as well.

FX Loop operates manually or can be auto assigned to any one OR two modes. Mono send with stereo returns enables full compatibility with Satellite. Rich, all-tube Reverb can be remotely controlled via footswitch.

Recording Out provides a variable level signal with speaker compensation for plugging directly into a board. Slave Out is non-compensated and allows the use of an external power amp.

Mark IV Remote Foot Controller gives you instant access to 4 modes, Graphic EQ, and the Effects Loop. Convenient self-contained mounting for FU-3 Foot Controller
