Thanks for clarifying DRG. My Red stripe is a PFL (Pretty Fucking Loud).

I've seen "DRG" as indicating Simul-Class. If you have a switch to go to 15 watts (Class A) of 60 watts (I recall as Class A/B) then that's Simul-Class.

For whatever it is worth if Boogie would magically pay for shipping and bench time to put my MKIII Lead mode back to spec I would. What Mike B. did made the tone darker which I have to compensate for by using the Pull Bright which recovers some high content, but it too bright without dialing...

Still looking? I have one considering posting on Ebay & Reverb.

:lol: :lol: Nice find!

Anyone with moderate wood working skills could build you one. I've done, but without the dovetail. Look for carpenters/cabinet makers in your area. If you're looking to keep weight down Home Depot has select pine in the right width and it takes aniline dye well and grain can be faked with it. If...

For whatever its worth I played through a IIC+ and was blown away by it. It was interactive; I played the amp and guitar. It was inspiring. Next time I played through it (same settings & guitar) it was nice, but not the religious experience I first had with it. The owner had swapped out the...

In my experience, yes. I haven't been impressed with EL34s in my Red Stripe. However, 5881s can compress nicely and seem to sweeten spiky highs if that's your thing. They sound best to me in the outer sockets where you's put the EL34s.

1. If you are running in mono use the Send jack out into your amplifier. This provides a bold, open tone compared to the standard output jacks. 2. While using the Send output as described above manipulating the A & B volume controls affects the tone. Neither a bug or a feature, just a quirk. 3...

I had Mike B. mod my Mark III Red stripe and mentioned I love the tone on my Studio Preamp's Lead channel. His mod made the Mark's Lead darker leaving me to use the pull bright to bring back some highs. Be careful what you wish for, you can spend a lot of money for shipping and bench time to...

R2 is Captain Crunch! The only Boogie tone I like more is the Lead mode on my Studio Preamp which has more high end content that compliments palm muting and variations in picking attack.

Just adding my two cents. I currently own a Red stripe modded by Mike B. and have owned both Blue and Green stripe Mark IIIs. You are spot on in describing the Blue's Lead channel; its a beast to wrestle with, a little over the top for my tastes. Curiously in the evolution of the MKIII I found...

Whoops, brain fart, turning down the "presence control".

After reading through the previous replies I would add that turning the down is better for a warmer Blues tone, putting it at 3 or 4 will brighten your tone without making the R2 or Lead too gritty. Don't be afraid to try EL34s in the outer sockets. They tend to be brighter than 6L6s and may or...

Let’s see, how many times has Boogie promised “This is the Mark IIC+”? Mark V, Mark V25, Mark V35, and now the JP-2C. Does this mean all the other were the IIC+ or just marketing hype? I appreciate Boogie recreating the transformer – integral on the real IIC+ I’ve played (and now can...
