I had been using Davidson Electronics for years for maintaining my Tascam digital recorders and various other stuff. 3 years ago I had a problem with my Mark IIB. After playing for about 30 minutes the amp would turn to mud. No brightness, no punch, just a gooey midrange lump of sound. After...

It's official, the Mark V is old news. One is up for sale on Ebay already...

Maybe so. Since the start of this thread I've trolled the 'net looking for those modern MIDI switchable amps you spoke of. There really aren't that many as far as I can find. And are any of them gonna sound like a Mark series Boogie? Probably not. So my advice is to go send a stink bomb to...

There are a number of gadgets on the market that can handle this task. The Behringer FCB1010 MIDI pedalboard has 2 programmable switches designed to control basic analog amp switch functions. Axxess Electronics sells a box that can control 4 separate switch functions via MIDI. Sound Solutions...

This is an excellent effort. Over at the Yahoo Groups Steinberger forum the moderator also runs steinbergerworld.com, which acts like a hugh FAQ file. Perfect for all the first time lurkers that have basic questions answered that get asked 1000 times over and over again. I'm sure others here...

I'd love to have that setup to play einee meenie miney moe with! Or not if they all want to join in.

I've been dealing with Rudy since he came to 48th St., he runs a classy shop. This is good news for Boogie lovers here in NYC because Boogies are scarce on showroom floors around town. Never any at Sam Ash or Manny's and while GC carries them they never have anything high end in store. I'll...

Yes, the graphic EQ is a must for you for both tayloring the sound and fixing any feedback problems. My ES-5 Switchmaster loves my Mark IIB. The range of sounds from very clean to super hot distortion is unmatched in this amp.

Hey, how many sour MkIIB amps are we squeezing into this thread? Anyway, the cap job seems to be the favorite choice amongst the crowd here, so that's what it will be. I'm giving the amp to my local tube amp repair guy this weekend. I'd do the job myself but I don't have the time right now...

I bought a 1981 Mesa Boogie MarkIIB last year, a Wood&Wicker Hunree, and I've just gotten around to using it in loud applications. I'm the oddball Boogie owner that uses one for a clean sound, relying on external stuff for distortion. I'm having a problem with the amp now that it's being turned...

Yamaha DG1000 looped into a Lexicon MPX G2 to my Mark IIB

After a nationwide search, or at least one as far as Ebay can take you, late last summer I became the proud owner of a beautiful 1981 Mark IIB. It's a Wood 'n Wicker "Hunree" in absolute immaculate condition. Not a scratch, chip, ding or beer bottle ring in it's Imbuya cabinet or wicker grill...

Thanks for eveyone's input here. I've certainly been given plenty to chew on to help my search. I've sorry if my application for a Boogie doesn't agree with some people, but everyone won't always have the same needs. For a very long time I'm worked in the world of MIDI controlled programable...

Hello, I'm the new guy here. In the past I've used mostly Fender amps. I've also gone thru a few preamp/poweramp setups, and most recently I've been using Yamaha DG stuff. Now I'm in the market for a Mesa Boogie 100 watt 12" combo and after wandering around the Internet looking at amps I have a...
