The funny thing is, I was watching your videos right before the purchase, and I didn’t expect it to be the very same amp! Either way, I guess the Dimebucker and the EVM speakers add some brightness to it, but the overall tone seems to be more raw before the mod. Now I would say that it sounds...

Whoa! Have you sold this to glip22? However, she’s in great shape, thank you for being so kind to her. Sooner or later I will post some clips, so at least you’ll be able to hear the difference after the ++ mod. Anyway, this is hands down the best amp I’ve ever had, I’ll never let her go!

Thanks! I’ve found it on eBay, but keep an eye on Reverb.com as well.

Hi folks, just to let you know what I ended up buying: ‘85 Mark III, 105 PT, Simul-Class, GEQ, ++ modded by Mike Bendinelli: http://tinyurl.com/hof7akm It has Groove Tubes 6L6 CHP in the middle and Marshall branded Winged C EL34 in the outer sockets, but the seller (such a nice guy) also gave...

Hey guys, you probably don’t give a **** about it, but long story short: that HRX IIC+ had already been sold before I was able to buy it, then I found another one, 60 W GEQ IIC upgraded to + by Mike Bendinelli himself, but the seller was so hesitant that one day he wanted to keep it, and the...

Thanks a lot for being so exhaustive, I’ll let you guys know!

Thanks!

MichaelC4: good warning, I knew it was heavy, but not that heavy! And my arms are like Ibanez Wizard necks, I have no muscles at all, so there’s no chance that I could handle that rack without a crane. Moreover, retubing the thing has to be expensive. MrSmitty: you know, in terms of gain, I...

Which one of the three gets closer to a DRG IIC+? I know, the Petrucci’s one is plain class AB, but listening to the very useful MrSmitty’s comparison between JP-2C, V, V25 and III+, aside from the 25, I find more similarities than differences among the others. Now, the fact is that I can spend...

Unless he has recently moved to north, we’re talking about two different persons, here it is: http://tinyurl.com/hc3d6r7 Yet there is someone who’s selling a fully loaded IIC+ in Southern Italy, but the price is quite high: http://tinyurl.com/zxc9vqd

I’m from Italy, and here on the used market there are many Blue and Green, even some Black (which was on my radar because of the possibility to get a 105 PT on that model, but when I asked for some pics of the transformer, the seller disappeared). No Red anywhere. As for the Blue (and Green too...

I’ve just found a discussion where the person in charge at Mesa wrote: “The EQ is the same as is used in all of our classic amp designs - meaning, it uses the full-size components - slider potentiometers, inductors, etc. [...] When used in the loop it acts more like our built-in 5-band EQ.” So...

I would definitely need the external eq, as with the IV and V, I had the GEQ permanently engaged, ‘cause I prefer a more refined sound. But will an external eq do the job? BTW, I got a rack unit, the old Boss GE-131. With that said, is there any difference in the amount of gain between HR and...

I’m kinda afraid to ask it: is there any hope to bridge the gap with an eq in the fx loop? On the contrary, do you think that a Quad with a 2:90, 395 or Strategy 500 could be closer to the real deal? I can get the Quad for 800 $, 395 and Strategy for 1k, or a 2:90 for 700 $. I’ve previously had...

Hi everyone, I’ve found an ‘84 IIC+ (100 Watt, reverb, export PT, neither GEQ nor Simul-Class: HRX, right?) for 1700 € (about 1900 $). No chance to try it personally, although I would send someone to check at least if the amp works properly. Maybe he could also take a brief clip, but I don’t...
