Mesa M6 Carbine Mega Thread part 3:

[svtb15]

With the amp turned off... Have you tried running a guitar cable in and out of the effects loop a dozen or so times.. Sometime corrosion builds up on the jacks and it gets crackly or intermittent.. Just a guess.. See if that fixes it

 

[mflatau]

Will try this today. Thanks for the suggestion!

Apologies if this has been asked already, but i did do a serach and could nto fiond it anywhere.

I have an opportunity to pick up a M6 combo and was wondering if I can remove the head (like you can with a walkabout) to pair it with other cabs?

thanks in advance!

 

[Chef]

Yes.

 

[jacksplat]

thanks for dat.

 

[Worldeeeter]

thanks for dat.

I love this about the M6 combo. You have to take the entire front panel off the amp (four long screws) to reveal the rack ears. Four more screws, and the head pops right out. I have the M6 212 combo, and a PH115. I either run them together, or I can remove the head and use it with the 115 for rehearsal. The combo is extremely heavy, so the 115 and head are much easier to transport, especially if stairs are involved.

I have two amps, not including my SWR Workingman's 10 combo in my living room as my practice amp.

I have the Mesa M6 Carbine 212 combo and the SWR Super Redhead. Both amps are my favorite.

Presently, I have the Mesa M6 in a 2 space rack and I take to to rehearsal where a cab resides. Otherwise, I've needed or wanted any other amps. Yes, the Walkabout rules, too but it's a spare...

If anyone's looking for a spotless M6 head, PM me. My band goes direct, so I don't even touch it anymore

So what preamp/pedal did you go with to get a similar sound? If that is the sound you are looking for.

Suggestions from anyone else are of course also welcome.

Yesterday I went to my local hardware store and bought some wood, an aluminum sheet with a pattern in it, flat black spray paint, and gorilla duct tape.

I then took off the cover of my M6 combo and replaced it with the NEW grill I made. This way I can put in ANY two space rack AND leave the handles on my M6 !!! I also added the Mesa logo !

So, I just picked a used M6 up for 399...

I think that GC must have new employees doing markdowns, LOL

Will you buy me a lottery ticket ?!?!!!
That is THE BEST deal I've ever heard of !!!!

I also found a powerhouse "vintage" 2x12 for 399. I thought that was pretty good too! Now just have to wait for them to get here.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I hate you ?

 

[mindwell]

Now that is crazy, as I've been obsessively checking the GC used site for M6 prices, and that one never made it online. Total score for you!

Guess right place/right time still means something in the real world as opposed to the virtual.

LOL, I must have gotten lucky then because I snagged it from their used gear online site...

I have been watching their listings pretty closely too and scored a sweet Lull M5 for a pretty good deal too. (1500)

Then that is very Very VERY strange, as that's where my OCD has had me checking constantly. I daresay GC has some hiccups in their search function.

Agreed !!!

This thing is loud! I am digging the tone too. I really like it paired with the PH212.
