I will likely sell off the rest of my rack gear to fund this one......anybody want an MP-2, Classic 60/60? :banana-upsidedown:

I can't turn my Mark-IV master above 1.5 before starting to kill wildlife, so this will be a breath of fresh air.

That is one nice sounding head!  That may turn me onto Mesa for once.  But still can't bring myself to spend even that much on an amp.  Yikes.

Join the Darkside brother. Once you use a Mesa,VHT/Fryette,Soldano or Engl power amp section you'll never look back.

I need to try out their power amps, but I can't come across one to try out.  The 2:90 is overkill for me right now though.  Although I have never been too keen on their preamp sections, at least outside of the MKII C and MKIV pre sections.  It's already bad enough that my favorite sounding Mesa that I have come across other than the pricey MKV is the Nomad...and everyone hates the Nomad... :dunno:

If your MP2 is a 240v model I'm very interested, I'm also on the lookout for a MXC and associated pedals or even just the CC pedals.

The MP-2 is 110v, and I use a step-down transformer here in Europe.  The Peavey Classic 60/60 is also 110v.

SC, I live about 1.5 hours from Cologne, so we could certainly meet up at Musicstore to try out the Mini Mark.  Let me know.....

Seems like you pay the Germany tax like we pay the Australia tax, things are typically 40% more here than elsewhere. May be a nice amp but that's a big spend (then boogies have never been cheep, well not here anyway)
