it is a costly retube and it does make a great bass amp, it's loud as all get ou though. i've gotten into the habit of running mine on half power all the time. they're the cat's pajamas though,but flippin heavy. mine has been serviced once in 7 years so very reliable.

dave fox from foxrox is a standup dude, also if you can find an old foxx fuzz,it's one of the nastiest fuzzes in the world,very useful though. also the sobatt fuzz breaker(germanium) is pretty sweet. my faves are the foxrox and vintage foxx tone machines.

i had a foxrox fuzz i've used before with the clean and it sounded huge. i'm still kicking myself for selling it but had to. got a big muff tone wicker, sounds okay, but i'm unimpressed by it.

mine's a black dot non simulclass colli. k510 serial# in the shop and i'm missing it terribly.,

taking it to a tech tomorrow. i opened it up today and can't see anything wrong :? what do i know though i did notice kdrg17 written in sharpie on the side. what is this?

so i just plugged it back in. the power was off, and yet the light and fan were on. hit the stangyby switch and it fired up. guessing it's the switch. does anyone know of any good amp techcs in the northern va washington dc area?

interesting, when i turned it on yesterday, i thought something seemed wierd,but it sounded and played fine. is it just a matter of switching out the switch? i'm not turning it back on for awhile

so i was just playing my black dot coli at tv volumes and noticed a burning smell, then saw a litle bit of smoke coming from behind the eq. i turned it off and unplugged it. it's never had any problems before. any ideas? thanks i hope it's not fried, i sure do love this thing

i've seen that just wondering about a good clean sound setting as a starting point. i know boogies are a different beast than hiwatts.ust someting close. never thought about a compresser though. don't quite understand them.

anyone have any tips for getting a good david gilmour sound out of a mark III black dot? i know a fuzz is needed, judt a general starting point

i had no idea k510 was a wierd serial number.3 words i love it.

pure genius

just tried that eq curve. nice! i love these amps always something new

sweetness. i love my mark III col. these amps are way too loud though, but oh so much fun.

thanks to gts. here are some shots. sorry if they are big. i don't know what i'm doing
