I can possibly offer up the next best thing to the Yngwie Strat/Mark combo. I have a Mark III and two strats one MIM and one MIJ all wired with the Dimarzio HS-3/YJM/YJM pup configuration. Simply put the Mark series LOVES strats. The clean tone is unbelievable. I don't think you will go wrong...

As a very recent convert to the Mark III, I will offer up my opinion if interrested. I just like you first started eyeing the Mark III and then got all caught up in the what stripe is best and what to get and so on. Mine is a green stripe simul-class which makes it wired in pentode and 25/85...

I too used to have a Peavey 50/50. I ended up selling because I thought at the time it was too thin. I wish I had thought it all the way through I would probably still have it. I ended up replacing it with a Carvin TS-100. The thing I love about it is you can run 50/50 watts in stereo or 100...

Thanks very much again for your assistance..I will re-read the manual. BTW It sounds absolutely awe-inspiring in Class A mode with the new EL34's. I haven't got to open her up and really take a test drive in Simulclass yet. Kev

Just an update. I called Mesa and got a message back from customer service saying the only sure fire method to determine if my amp is trully a Mark III simulclass is that I need to look on the transforner for the word simuclass stamped in it somewhere? I gave them the serial number and described...

I have heard that the 3 channel Dual recs have way better clean channels on them vs. the 2 channel. I have owned two Dual Rec 2 channels, a 94 and a 96. I loved the cloaking option and the drive channel was awesome. BUT the clean was never clean enough for me no matter what I did. There was...

V-twin Rack into a Carvin TS-100 into a Mesa 2X12 Halfback.

I agree with boola's comments. I have for years owned both the V-Twin pedal (now my second because I didn't think I needed the first one anymore) and the V-Twin rack. I have used the pedal version in many applications from in front of my amps (Road King I, Laney VH100R, and the latest aquisition...

If I may suggest a couple of Mesa's to try out. The reason why I say this is you can probably stay well within your budget. 1. Mark III- I just got one and it is positively an amazing amp. I think they are going for $500-800 on Ebay. That would allow enough money for a brand new cab if you go...

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. I swapped out the outside pair of 6L6's with two SEC EL34's and there is definitely a difference when you switch from Class A to Simulclass. I actually like the subtleties I am hearing. It reminds me (sort of) of channel three on my RK head that I...

I have read through hundreds of posts and still have doubts as to what version of the Mark III that I own. Please forgive me because I know this topic has been discussed I am sure to great lengths. This is what I have and the info that I have found. Mesa Boogie Mark III short chasis head Looks...

www.loooper.com David Boggs is the MAN!!! I own a custom built A/B/Y with tuner mute. This is simply the BEST A/B/Y I have ever used in all my years of playing. I have owned the Morley and Whirlwind and Rapco and I'm telling you when you hear the loooper you will simply throw the rest of...

I'll give you the other prospective if you will. I am on my 2nd V-Twin and use it all the time. I own a Road King head and utilize for a boost on the ch 2 "brit" setting. I also use with my Laney VH100R. I use the blues mode and the clean mode for a boost when needed. It is very versatile. I...
