Wow.. Just discovered the Mesa Mark IV

Postby jem7sk » Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:37 pm

So I always thought I was a Marshall guy and this past weekend I discovered a patch on my HX Stomp that is the best tone I've ever heard. It is made with the Mesa Mark IV lead amp. Then I thought I'd check my Amplitube 4 Max install and see if they have it. It was there and I recreated the patch in A4 and it sounded even better in A4. Where has this amp been all my life. 8-)

Nice! We definitely should do some more MESA amps.

I emphasized this one part because some folks don't realize that we don't just have people slap their names on things, we really do work with some of the most deeply involved companies and artists (or unfortunately estates/techs/colleagues in the case of some who are no longer with us) when making models for AmpliTube. MESA was extremely meticulous and not at all shy about telling us to keep working when it wasn't up to their standards.

Yeah, there is more things to configure in A4 compared to Helix... and it looks like the real thing. The biggest kicker is out of all my paid IRs, the amplitube cab room sounds the best.
