I picked one up about a month ago, mint with EV for @250

I have a 1988 blue stripe and Thiele and they both have the Mesa/Boogie white letter plates.

It's all good! You're just a "tone-chaser"... like EVH. 8)

**** Finnster--That looks great! I need to find a job like yours so I can support an amp habit like yours!! First the F-50, then the Roadster, then the Ace, then the Mark IV combo/head. WHEW!! Do you have Mesa on speed dial? :wink:

Well, it was the pedal--for the 2nd time! For some reason, the wrong resistor was used for the lead channel circuit and that was what was causing the problem. I didn't feel like waiting for yet another pedal to be sent, so I went to Radio Shack got the right part and fixed it myself. I'm...

Thanks for the replies. I got one off about a week ago and it had some issues with it. The guy replaced it with another, priority shipping, and now I've discovered another problem with the new pedal. It appears that when it's connected, it changes the EQ Auto setting. So even when Auto is...

Anyone have any experience with these pedals, in particular the 2-in-1 Rhythm & Lead switcher? http://cgi.ebay.com/VoodooMan-Mesa-Boogie-MARK-III-Dual-Footswitch_W0QQitemZ280139391039QQihZ018QQcategoryZ43374QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I flat out love my Mark III. I recently sold my Roadster and this amp has all the sounds I love--clean to nasty! I was trying to buy a IV, but it just never seemed to work out--then this Blue stripe, reverb, simulclass, EQ III fell into my lap...along with a Thiele 112 cab. FWIW, I paid...

Yeah, what RR said is right (at least for me)--if I set Vol1 at 7 or more R2 was too low even at the highest setting. If I set Vol1 around 6 or lower the volume would even out on both channels.

OK-- I replaced the 10K pot with a 250K and it NOW has BALLS-A-PLENTY!! So just to be clear for any others that travel down this road in the future: If you have reverb, you MUST use a 250K to get any additional volume. The 10K at it's highest setting is the same as the pre-mod volume...

Sorry for the questions, but I did read the entire thread several times before posting. Maybe I misread, but your post says that you can use the 10K pot if you are just using the R130 connections--no? So my question remains: What would I gain by using the R131 connection and a 250K pot at...

Should there be any difference in the R2 output between the 10K and 250K? I did the mod last night and "re-used" the 10K pot and it works beautifully, but I do notice that I have to turn it all the way up to match the R1 volume. Also on my dB meter there is still a 3-4 dB difference between...

Thanks Edward! I saw some pics of the mod--did you actually remove the R130 resistor or solder around it i.e. one side of R130 to one side of R131? Maybe I'll do it this weekend...if I find a 250K pot. Thanks again, I'm loving this amp and just want to be sure I'm not missing out on anything...

It's all good--just givin' it back. :? No hard feelings?

There was a 212 Heartbreaker in great condition @ Atomic Music in Beltsville, MD when I was there last week. There site is www.atomicmusiconline.com --and they ship. Good luck!

Wow--What great advice--Thanks for taking the time to reply!! Now get back to watching the Weather Channel and Headline News! Grumpy old fart...

Yeah, my amp has reverb so I would have to move the direct out jack up and put in a pot for the R2 so there is a little more to it I guess. Uhmmm...OK---Not sure what am I looking for? I have an nice crunchy tone on R2 and pretty sweet lead tone on the lead chanel that I can adjust the...

I recently purchased (some say stole...) a Mark III blue stripe combo and was curious about the R2 volume mod. I have seen several posts on the R2 mod, but so far I haven't notice a huge volume jump between R1 and R2 to justify the mod--yet. Am I missing something or is it very dependent on...

Thanks all! Yeah, I am really loving this amp so far--even better with the Thiele hooked up, it sounds huge! I really liked my Roadster, but the sounds in this amp just flat-out make me smile--and I'm sure I haven't even scratched the surface on the settings. Peace.
