I have not fired up any of my Boogies in 7 years, since I moved from Chicago to San Juan, PR. Terribly sad about it but the music scene here is very different

Well, for one thing the IIC+ mode on the Mark V is not available on the clean channel.

I understand it is his signature amp, but I would like to hear more than an amp that just makes the JP tones. I am sure that Petaluma will publish follow up videos exploring other areas, hopefully it will not take too long

To be honest I had problems only with the lutier but I just decided to bring my business somewhere else though. Thank you for your answer anyway

Thank you, I know them; they are few blocks from my home. They do very good work but their rate is very high and their customer service is pathetic. After being robbed few times I'd rather go somewhere else.

Finally I was able to spend few minutes with the amp. I love it so far. It is surprisingly noisy, a lot of humming noise. I read few threads about it and it seems like it is a common problem with these vintage boogies. Does anyone know of a good tech in the Chicago area that could take care of...

I have another question. What exactly is this fx loop mod? Why would I need it?

Thank you sir, no apologies needed. I have to thank you for taking the time to reply!

Thanks a lot for clarifying Dodger! My amp is Simulclass indeed

Very helpful indeed. Thank you. My amp is simulclass. The switch is right of the heat sink and I didn't take it in the pic. Thanks again!

Looking forward to hearing it. What I am not looking forward to is the constant complaining of people that will deviate the course of any conversation on the amp saying that it doesn't sound like the original 2C+ and which, in most cases, have not played either. Let alone played them back to back.

Thank you. What about EL34 only for 2 tubes, like the configuration I found the amp with?

Is there any caution I need to take in using EL34 instead of 6L6, other than matching the pair? In the Mark V there is a switch for adjusting the bias

I found a mark IIb with an interesting story locally and I yield to the Force of AAS. I also am in the middle of a move from Chicago, IL to San Juan, PR and accumulating more gear is not exactly the smartest action so I justified the purchase by (very regrettably) selling my 5:25 Express Combo...

Looking for a Thiele cab, possibly in chicago. I am also selling my 5:25 Express 10" combo, so the Thiele could be part of a trade. Thanks!
