Combo, head, tolex or wood cabinet, recent tune up, everything working and in excellent condition?? I just bought a recently serviced (by Mesa) Black Cross/Dot blonde Mark III long head in good condition, excellent functional condition for $825. I've seen them sell for less and more plus or...

Thanks Johnson, I had a lot of fun and my ears are still ringing, but the smile hasn't left my face either so... I'm trying to convince myself the Jubilee is redundant but you know, these two A/B'ed together really sounded good. Did I get that 'different' a sound as to justify keeping both...

Ok, I got my long chassis Mark III and there was the channel 'imbalance' between R1, R2 and Lead. So I'd done my research and was ready due to the nice write-ups and postings of other members (along with a few PM's, thanks guys!). Here are the two main posts that I followed and then see my...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280168792051&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123 So I got my Mark III and just 'needed' a single unit switch to make this thing work for me; but I didn't want a Voodooman 4 button because I always leave the Reverb on (I know, called me old fashioned...

So that half-back is the 'limited edition Dinosaur model in Blonde Tolex', VERY rare from what I understand... :D Bump for a great seller!

http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/Mark%20III.pdf Download and print as there's some good info in there as well. I'm just 'pulling' the Lead Knob right now myself and using a single switch on the R1/R2 position I just ordered a custom 3 Button switch from Voodooman, SOLO EQ and R1/R2 since I...

Thanks Edward, I'll be ordering tubes here shortly and I'll post my thoughts after a bit! Rock on...

Just got my Mark III (Black Cross/Dot) and I'm not 100% positive I have this all correct. From the PDF Manual I downloaded and looking from the back of the amp, V1 or the #1 Pre-Amp tube is the covered fellow all the way on the right next to one of the transformers. V2 is the Second Tube over...

Another discussion on this very subject is on-going at this link: http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=17924 So different Stripe versions of the amps may or may not have different procedures? Or maybe the Red Stripe is unique and all the other's the same? I have a Black Cross/Stripe on...

Here are the three 'main' threads I found on the subject (though I'm sure there are more!). I intend on doing this mod myself in the near future so I'll report back once completed. http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=15252&highlight=vol+volume+pot+mod...

So, any further exploration on this subject? My Mark III Black Cross/Dot will be arriving in a few days and I suspect I'll be looking to 'tame' my #2 and #3 Channels just a touch, so I thought I'd check in and see you all have done any further experimentation? Thanks, Andrew Drew816 Mark III -...

Diode Clipping; i.e. a diode or resistor like thingie in the circuit to give you a more 'gain' like sound? Yeah, that's kind of what I'd feared that this amp isn't really a proper 'two channel amp' but more of a one channel setup with a second channel simply taking the signal of the first and...

Howdy, I'm new to the forum on the hunt for my first Boogie in a long time (anyone have a Mark III head in Cream tolex for me?); but my main amp at the moment is a 2558 2x12 Jubilee. I've never been really 'thrilled' with the overdrive sound of channel two, it sounds like a Heavy Metal pedal and...
