Yes. MKIIC+ into 1965A cab = one of the BEST tones I have ever had. There was nothing lacking except the backache from hauling a 4x12 around. It played extremely well with my green-stripe MKIII as well. Devastating, tight tone. I also used a Mesa 4x10 with the blue-label Jensens for a...

I have seen that some recommend using the el-34 setting rather than the 6V6/6L6 one. Really? Why? I have it running with the 6V6 setting now. Do I risk letting the smoke out if I go over to the other bias setting? I am on Tweed power, tube rec, 1/2 power, and jacked into the 4-ohm setting with...

I agree it is an awesome, dangerous-sounding amp. I have never been intimidated by a piece of gear before but this thing demands respect and careful use, or it WILL hurt you and anyone within earshot! I liked that aspect after a while, and even though I'm not a "metal" guy I really came to...

Ok then. Here is the basic setup; guitar and pickups - varied but generally 25 1/2 scale planks with maple fingerboards, some with rosewood, usually "PAF" type output dimarzio or Duncan pickups in the bridge with singles in neck/middle usually stacked - one with Tom Anderson hot pu's that I...

Still really digging the HB I scored a short time ago but I am thinking it could use just a hair more "chime" or "sparkle" to use silly words to describe sounds. I find I'm running the treble controls full-up and still want a bit more. I am generally running it in 1/2 power mode, bright switches...

My HB has a funky loop jack as well. Insert a cable and jumper it as mentioned and see what happens.

Well, I got the mini-switches from Mesa and replaced the busted one so I can now switch between the Bold/Curvaceous modes. I guess it was stuck on "Curvaceous", because when I flipped that sucker over to "Bold" it **** near tore my head off! :shock: There are now 2 switches that I need to be...

My MKIIC+ was the best sounding amp I ever had until the original STR415's died, then it took a step back to merely mortal. It could do everything I wanted (NOT a metal guy) and had a sweetness about it coupled with a dynamic touch-sensitivity I have missed since. My MKIII green stripe long...

This belongs to my bandmate. Super clean amp! http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/topic/56982-fs-91-mesa-boogie-50-caliber-plus-with-graphic-eq-550-shipped/

Tommy-G, thanks for the feedback. A couple questions if I may: Is there a functional treason to mismatch when using other than the 6l6 tubes? Weak tranny on these or just a tonal thing? What does the change to an at7 get you in the 'verb driver slot? It seems lots of folks recommend speaker...

First impressions after a few hours of spinning knobs and scaring the cats tells me that this is a real gem. I have owned a TON of Boogies, including the fabled MKIIC+ and this thing gets me everywhere I might want to go. Cleans can be warm and spongy or sharper and spiky with plenty of chime...

I have been Boogie-less for a couple years now since I let my MKIIC+ go to a new home. I have been missing the punch that the MK series brought to the table, and found a suitable replacement today I think in the form of a Heartbreaker combo. I thought that I would be happy with a 20 watt el84...

Hey Bob, a certain Hamer Vector into my IIC+ is a recipe for magic. I took a spin on the local GC MKV, and I don't thiink your DC has any apologizing to do. Just sayin' Z

Thanks to a couple brothers at the Hamer Fan Club, I scored this MKI reissue shell and stuffed my Subway Blues into it, and I now have the coolest 20 watt Boogie ever. This is how Mesa could have done it, but didn't. I dug the 1x10 combo a great deal, but couldn't resist trying a bigger box. I...

Hey man, are you gigging a IIC+ these days? I'm gonna be at a jammer in Rosemount this Sat. night (23rd) and if I'm not mistaked you'll be in Farmington? Something involving free beer and some IIC+ action could be very enticing! Z
