Mesa black shadow?

[aziz]

Does anyone have IR's of this? I have that speaker from a Rectoverb combo, now sitting in a 2x12" open back cab, but no mic preamp or power amp to make IR's with. I'll try and make a few some day though. Too bad I've sold the Mesa combo a decade ago, it was a nice big ported 1x12". Now in this open cab, it doesn't sound "mesa" at all.

Yeah, I am looking for one too. Just sold a Mark V, and I loved how the 1x12 sounded! If you are going FRFR, I can highly recommend using the EV 1x12 sims.

Actually, looks like Studio 1x12 is from a Mesa Studio 22 1x12, which uses a c90!

I spoke to the customer service at Mesa Boogie and they told me that the Black Shadow C90 is something between the old Classic Lead 80 and the EV12L so I tried to make a stereo cab with balance for both cabs in the middle, with the factory cab 104(Classic Lead 80 Mix) and 105 (EV12L Mix).
Works great for me as a substitute, maybe add some Air!

Try it and let me know what you think!

I have uploaded several MC90 IRs to AxeChange - Search for CrunchyBob or C90.

I just got a mkiic+ combo today with a black shadow, I should capture some IRS of it.

Mine is the MC-12

I had a Mesa Halfback w/ Black Shadows back in the '90s. Still kicking myself for selling it. That cabinet sounded awesome no matter what you put through it. Surprisingly light weight, too.
