 Mesa/BoogieMark IV1 x 12" 85-WattAll-Tube WidebodyGuitar Combo Amplifier
Used - Excellent Condition
The Jensen C12K 100-watt speaker in this amp is NOT original.  The original speaker is not included.  Plus. the leather handle on the top of the amp is torn on both sides and will need to be replaced fairly soon.
The stunning power and ultimate versatility of the Mesa/Boogie Mark Series have served legions of proud owners who see the Mark IV as the culmination of guitar amp evolution. The fifty thousand, II, III and IVs still in active duty are a testament to this heritage.  IThis powerful sounding Mark IV widebody combo gives you three channels...three big sounds...with individual control and total conviction: Rhythm 1 feels bouncy and shimmers with freshness, the Lead Mode has a 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, Mesa's 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 A/B.  The Mark IV, when it was still in production, was available in 2 different combo formats, compact and widebody...this one we have here in our shop is the big boy!  It arrived here in at Metro Sound without its original Celestion C90 Black Shadow, however it has a stellar sounding Jensen Special Design C12K 100-watt speaker that will still knock you socks off!  What you do get with this killer Boogie is the original 6-button footswitch and the casters to help you transport your Mark IV!  Simply stated, this Mark IV combo is the amp you need to make your sound complete!
