I've used the board for research mainly but I've been lurking for a while. I have a hard time getting a usable sound out of "modern" mode on the RoV. I have put EL-34s in the power section which may be part of the problem, however "vintage" sounds incredible. Even with the treble and...

I have a schematic. The sliders and tips are the components I've had a hard time tracking though, so if I could get those from them it would be great. The EQ is actually a relatively easy build from the look of it, however it won't be quite the same because of the switching mechanism and the...

Did they say how much it would cost? I am going to build one but if the price is right I'll buy it from them.

I found a schematic in "The Tube Amp Book" and I want to know how accurate it is. Anyone ever built one?

$1500 or I'm keeping it.

I don't think it is. The mounting hardware on it doesn't look as aged as some of the other hardware, though the border around the logo suggests that it is a bit older.

Any takers at $1700?

Also, the fact that Doug West bought 8 is a testament to me that these things were reasonably inconsistent and that yours may sound killer while mine is a bit stale.

I have a C that has had the C+ update. I generally refer to it as a C because the serial number falls within the C range. If this is not the proper thing to do, please let me know. The thing about the hype of these amps is that they are known to have a good clean but they are supposed to have...

I'm starting to hedge towards the Mark IV myself. I think the folklore behind the IIC+ is all hype. Its a good sounding amp but IMO not a great sounding amp. When you look at all the people that made them famous, they processed the heck out of them. I will say, however, the clean is easily...

Its a 60W combo w/reverb. Versatility isn't really the problem here. I had limited use for Rhythm 2 on the MKIV in my band and I really only used the triode/pentode switch, rarely the class A/simulclass switch, however I did actually flip flop on the harmonics switch. Plus, when I dial up my...

They said they'd add an EQ for $450, but they said one of the techs likes the Presonus EQ3B in the loop for a similar sound. I'm going to go that route because this amp is too minty to mess with like that. They also told me that they don't do the faceplates anymore so immediately I decided not...

Pretty self explanatory and they're closed for the weekend. Anyone have experience with this?

I replaced V1 and it seems to have fixed the problem. I'd still like to hear your guys' input, though.

I found an interesting problem tonight in the ol' Mark IIC+. When I plug in my Ibanez RGT42 w/DiMarzio D Activators (tuned to drop C), if I pluck a power chord and hold it I get a microphonic/crackling noise that is very clearly coming through the amp. When I plug in my Les Paul w/Duncan...

Louder is indeed better with these. I can get it to about 4 before I can't deal with it anymore.

THAT'S IT!!! That's the one! It was a bit crispy though, so I pushed the bright back in and tweaked the treble down a half notch. Brought the bass up about a half notch too. Razor sharp but not too bitey. By the way, thanks for looking past my n00bness and being gracious. Maybe I'll have...

V1: 9 Treble: 6 Bass: 2 Mid: 3 M1: 3 LD: 8 LM: 2.5 Presence: 4 The tubes are a pair of STR420s, which I know are pretty old as Mesa no longer uses them, plus if I recall they have outright said they weren't the best. I'd imagine that the preamp is about due up too, however because of...

I just picked up a 60 watt Mark IIC+ combo with reverb but no graphic EQ. I have a show coming up in the next few weeks and I'm having a rough time getting a good metal sound. I am playing an Ibanez RGT42 with DiMarzio D Activators. The crunch sound is much more important to me than the...
